2023 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread in Week 11.

I’ve historically done really well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I’ve swept the day many times over the years. I’m crawling into the holiday beaten up after a tough week. I hope to continue my Thanksgiving good luck on Thursday.

I worry about the Cincinnati Bengals going forward. QB Joe Burrow is gone for the season and his arm has played such a big part of their win-loss record. Early this season, Burrow wasn’t 100% and the team went on a losing streak. They need strong quarterback play for their offense to work. They could try to lean on RB Joe Mixon, but I’m afraid he’s past his prime.

2023 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread in Week 10.

Injuries are ballooning point spreads and we are seeing more double-digit advantages again this week. It’s becoming the normal as we near Thanksgiving. The bad teams are already looking at the upcoming draft class. I just assume teams like the Giants will see double-digit spreads (or near it), the rest of the season.

Will the change in play-calling duties help the Bills and Panthers this week?

Can QB Joshua Dobbs continue his hot streak for the Vikings?

2023 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-3 against the spread in Week 9.

I had my best week of the year and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on a handful of teams. A lot of the marquee teams are on bye this week (Chiefs, Eagles), so a lot of the middle-of-the-road teams will get more action.

The Cincinnati Bengals continued their resurgence and Denver Broncos are officially in the under-the-radar category. They’ve covered against the Packers and Chiefs in their last two games.

Will the San Francisco 49ers rebound from their three-game outright losing streak?

2023 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 8.

I was once again perfect for all the Primetime games, but was subpar or average on Sunday afternoon. I still ended up positive for the week and I hope to build on this momentum.

After a rough start to the season, it appears that the Cincinnati Bengals are back playing like a possible Super Bowl contender. They have a big test this week as they face the Buffalo Bills.

How will the Vikings fare without starting QB Kirk Cousins?

2023 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-7 against the spread in Week 7.

I had an awful Sunday afternoon, but I was able to not completely lose my shirt by going 3-0 ATS on Thursday, late-Sunday and Monday night.

The most shocking outcome last week had to be the Ravens blowout win over the Lions. Baltimore had a stretch of games with a lot of key guys on the injured list. They are getting healthy, and if they acquire a running back, Baltimore could be one of the favorites in the AFC.

We have a full slate of games with zero teams out on bye this week.

2023 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread in Week 5.

I’ve been hovering around .500 for the last two weeks. I’m still trying to get a feel for a few teams and the recent injuries aren’t helping me.

We have some stars that won’t be playing for awhile. Vikings WR Justin Jefferson and Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson both landed on injured-reserve this week. The Vikings are still in decent shape at receiver, but his loss will still hurt. The Colts have one of the best backup QBs in the league and I expect the Colts to stay afloat with QB Gardner Minshew and the returning RB Jonathan Taylor.

2023 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread in Week 4.

My bets were looking fantastic through the first-half of many games this week, but teams just made some key adjustments and a lot of my bets turned sideways late in the game. I was above .500, but didn’t hit on any parlays this week.

I was high on the Bengals going into this season, but they’ve really disappointed everyone. QB Joe Burrow isn’t 100% and the offense is just broken. They face the a beatable Cardinals team this week, can they turn it around?

2023 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 148-133-8 against the spread last season. It wasn’t a banner year and I just hovered around .500 all season long. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I decided to kick off the season a little different this season. I decided to get some help fleshing out the opening week’s column. I asked Google’s Generative AI to add some season preview insight about every team. Their input is the first two paragraphs of every game breakdown. Artificial Intelligence still has a long way to go for accuracy, so I had to correct some items…as it thought Mike McCarthy was the Patriots head coach.

2022-23 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

Last week’s slate of games ended with such a horrible situation. Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after he tackled Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. It was the scariest football injury situation that I’ve witnessed since Dennis Byrd or Mike Utley went down with neck injuries in the 90’s. We wish Hamlin a speedy recovery.

This week’s betting picks is lean heavily on different playoff scenarios. There are only a few playoff spots left, but a handful of teams could leapfrog each other if certain things happen.

2022 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

This week’s NFL gambling picks will be short and sweet.

I have long-term neck issues that stem from two bad car accident I had many years ago. I am dealing with a rather serious flare up and both of my hands are numb. I tried to write up my usual weekly article, but it was taking way too long. Who knew that dragging your uncoordinated hands around a keyboard would cause so many typos.

I hope I will be back with my normal column next week.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 16

We only have a few more weeks left of the season.

I’m thinking about ending my fantasy picks after next week. Week 18 is such an unpredictable week due to playoff scenarios and teams resting their starters. It’s just a crap shoot and you’re probably not looking for waiver wire pickups in the final week of the regular season.

We are starting to find some new fantasy football waiver wire targets who are on very bad teams. I would suggest looking at players like Texans WR Chris Moore.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 15

We will have full slates of games for the rest of the season.

You may have most of your roster set in stone, but there are always improvements to be made. I always look at which defenses I can stream and look to see there is an improvement I can pick up for one of my flex spots.

I try to suggest some under-the-radar adds for deeper leagues, and unless its a quarterback, I rarely add anyone above 90% ownership.

This week’s edition is pretty bare bones due to a time crunch. I make my sit/start suggestions, but I don’t have any commentary next to my picks. Next week’s edition will go back to my in-depth approach.
