2020 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Divisional playoff games.

Last week’s games weren’t as crazy as the Wild Card weekend, but they were still a fun watch. The outcomes made for two interesting rematches from earlier this season.

Can Packers QB Aaron Rodgers spoil the Niners playoff run in his return to his hometown area?

Can the Titans use RB Derrick Henry’s legs to win their third-straight upset win and make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 20 years?

Will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill pull a ‘Kurt Warner move’ and lead his team to the Super Bowl as a backup-turned-starting QB?

We pick both NFL Championship games against the spread and the over/under totals.

Wait, Can You Actually Turn That Business Dream Into Reality?

Can you actually turn that business dream into a reality, or is that just a pipe ambition? Might it be that the people you see succeed on Shark Tank or those that raise their startups from nothing to something are just lucky, in the right place in the right time? Or could this be afforded to you as well, provided you have the idea, the will and the technical skills to give yourself that potential path forward?

Look around and see the businesses enjoying humble success, and you’ll see most of them started in a similar manner. A person with a certain expertise decided to branch out on their own, and took the personal and financial risk in doing so. They worked hard to get where they are, it all started with that self-belief – that ‘I can do this’ attitude that helped them on their way.

All-Name Team – 2020 XFL Players

The XFL starts next month and we went through the current rosters and players who were drafted into the league. There were some players that were once in our college football all-name teams, which was a fun bonus.

What makes a great football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the XFL (there are only eight). We went through the names and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

How to Spend More Time In the Outdoors

There are plenty of great New Year’s resolutions that you could make, but perhaps the one that will have the biggest impact on your life would be spending more time in the outdoors. This is an underrated resolution, yet one that’ll make a big difference!

Below, we take a look at a few ways you can spend more time in the outdoors this year.

What’s Local?

If you’re one of the many people that live in cities, then you might be wondering where exactly you’re supposed to get your fill of the outdoors.

Moving Home: Moving Your Piano Safely

Expert knowledge and experience are essential to the safe transporting of your piano to your new home. It is important to ensure that you get a fully insured and dedicated team of professionals to do the removal. So how do you tell removal companies apart?

The key to getting the right piano movers is to ask the right questions. It is not enough to simply ask whether a company can move pianos, you need to be more specific. You need to know whether they have experience of moving grand or upright pianos and the type of equipment they use to achieve piano removals.

2020 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were fun to watch last week. There were two that went into overtime and the other two games didn’t lack suspense with a pair of upsets.

Will the home teams start the game a little rusty after a week off or will the rest be a big factor in the game?

Will the Titans try to choke the game clock again this week in hopes of keeping Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off the field?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round playoff game against the spread and over/under.

2020 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished the year 145-109-7 against the spread during the NFL regular season.

Since there aren’t many games in the playoffs, I also pick over/under point totals as well.

These four games are pretty close, so we aren’t seeing any double-digit point spreads like we’ve seen the last few Wild Card Weekends.

Can the Seahawks win as a favorite while on the road in Philly this weekend?

Can the Patriots bounce back from a bad loss against the Dolphins?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

Spare change is something we have less and less of. Mostly because we use more cards and online transactions these days, but also because things a little more pricey than they’ve ever been before. So when you do have spare change, it seems like a momentous occasion!

2019 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread last week.

I delayed my weekly NFL betting picks by a few days due to Christmas and the fact that not every team out there have announced whether or not they will play their starters this week.

I also decided to not write a fantasy football article this week just due to how random Week 17 can be in fantasy. There are so many variables that can happen and if you’re behind by a lot in your championship game right now, it could be a rough road for a comeback.

There are a ton of games with importance this week, so it should be a rather competitive week. There are only a handful of games with nothing on the line.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2019 NFL season.
