Can Eric Paschall Win NBA Rookie of the Year?

Coming into the season, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and R.J. Barrett were the overwhelming picks to be the Rookie of the Year this year. I didn’t see anyone pick any other rookie as a possible winner. I’m picked Barrett this preseason as he looked pretty damn good.

Since the start of the season, there have been a handful of other rookies that have shot up the leaderboard. Miami guard Tyler Herro, Memphis small forward Brandon Clarke and Golden State power forward Eric Paschall have thrown their name in the running. Things could change once Zion Williamson debuts, but as of early December, he has yet to appear in the regular season.

Can second-round pick Paschall win the Rookie of the Year?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 16-9 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

This is the last week with a full slate of college football games. Next week is full of conference championship games and the yearly Army/Navy game.

Rivalry games can be tough to handicap. You can have all the data in the world, but sometimes a bad team can muster up enough big plays to defeat their hated rivals. Those are impossible to predict, but that’s the fun of rivalry week.

Can Ohio State chock up another win against the team up north?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 14 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 30th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I had a streak of three-straight perfect Thanksgivings until it was broken last year. I feel pretty good about my Turkey Day picks this year.

I wanted to get my NFL picks out a little earlier than normal since there are three Thursday games this week…and I need to get an early start on my college football picks too.

Can the Niners stop Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 13 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 13

We have full strength teams from this point until the end of the season, but it’s still important to look at match-ups. Even some of the better players in fantasy can run into a bad match-up.

You may begin to start having some tough decisions every week. That flex spot could be a hard one to pick. Bye weeks suck, but they can make decisions much easier since you don’t have many options. Don’t stress too much about it. I tend to stress a little, but once I make a decision, I set my lineup and forget it.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 13 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Ryan Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans.

Week 12 Fantasy Football: Making the Best of the Bye

There are four teams on bye during Week 12, the Arizona Cardinals, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Minnesota Vikings.

So that means you can forget about starting Patrick Mahomes or Kirk Cousins at QB this week both on the shortlist at different betting sites for favorites to be MVP. If you haven’t checked your lineup yet and you have significantly impactful players from any of those four teams – not that there is anyone significant on the Cardinals other than Murray– you best weight your options. Do you have a suitable replacement already on your bench or should you hunt the waiver wire and available players?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-11-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I really started out strong, but the late games last Saturday brought me back down to Earth.

There are some big games this weekend. The Penn State/Ohio State game could be viewed as a play-in game for the College Football Playoff. There are also some big games in the Big 12 that could weed out some of the teams for the Big 12 Championship game in a couple weeks.

Can Ohio State cover such a large point spread against Penn State?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 13 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 23rd, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

After a rough Week 10, I rebounded with a strong 11-3 record against the spread last week.

There are some big games this weekend. The Cowboys/Patriots game will be a must-watch along with the Ravens/Rams game on Monday Night Football. It will be a big litmus test for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. If he can perform like he has all season against a tough defense like the Rams, you might as well give him the MVP trophy after the game.

Can the 49ers hold off the Packers and ruin Green Bay QB Aaron Rodger’s homecoming?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 12 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

This is the final week of byes, so we will have a full schedule of sixteen games starting next week.

The Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Chargers are on bye this week. It’s a pretty quarterback-heavy group, so you might be looking for a quarterback to stream this week while your starting QB has the week off.

Some of the top fantasy quarterbacks have tough matchups this week. Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson faces the Rams, New England’s Tom Brady faces the Cowboys and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers faces the 49ers.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 12 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of RB Le’Veon Bell of the New York Jets..

Toy Crazy: Winter 2020 WWE Funko Releases

It’s been awhile since I posted about upcoming Funko releases. I think I may have skipped the last series, but the upcoming toys to be released in early-2020 are must-haves.

We have reviewed a lot of Mattel’s WWE Elite figures, but Funko has also released solid figures in the past. I’m a big collector and you can see some of my collection on my Instagram, @vintagetoybob.

This upcoming set has a couple chase figures and exclusives that can be found at Amazon and Wal-Mart. We will also see the first Hulk Hogan Funko figure since his racist remarks were made public years ago.

Here are some pictures of Funko’s Winter 2020 WWE POP! vinyl releases.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 16-8-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I’ve been doing really well with my college football picks lately, which makes up for the last two stinker weeks with my NFL picks.

There are still a couple undefeated teams out there that could really shake up the College Football Playoff. Minnesota and Baylor are definitely two teams no one thought would be undefeated at this point in the season.

Can Minnesota survive against Iowa to stay unbeaten?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 16th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I really don’t want to talk about last week. I’d rather just skip straight to my stellar college football picks, but since I’m transparent as hell, I was only 3-8-2 last week. It was my worst NFL betting week in more than a decade. It was just one of those weeks where nothing went right and my reads were off.

I feel much better about this week’s picks. There were some upsets last week and Vegas got the best of many of us, so you can’t hang your head about it.

There are a few starting quarterbacks that are coming back from injuries this week. Can Nick Foles get the win in his return for the Jaguars?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

There are only four teams on bye this week.

The Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and the Seattle Seahawks all have the week off. These teams aren’t nearly stocked full of fantasy studs like last week’s group of bye teams.

This week’s group of starting quarterbacks is pretty shocking if you use Week 1 eyeballs. There are so many backup quarterbacks that have either gained the starting job due to injury or just overall ineptitude by the previous quarterback.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Nick Foles of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
