2025 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

Due to some server maintenance issues, I missed my first week of football picks in over a decade. I hope you guys had a profitable Thanksgiving week.

I think there is some value in this week’s NFL betting lines. We have a few hot teams that aren’t getting much respect. The Bears are on fire, but are nearly a touchdown underdog against the Packers.

There are some good teams facing uphill battles to earn a playoff spot. Can the 6-6 Kansas City Chiefs make a run?

2025 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6 against the spread during the eighth week of the 2025 NFL season.

We are back to having fourteen games on the schedule this week.

We have a few marquee games this week. The biggest one being the Kansas City Chiefs travelling to Buffalo to face the Bills. Kansas City is on a roll and are playing like the best team in the league.

We have quite a few quarterbacks listed as day-to-day heading into this week’s games. Niners QB Brock Purdy, Arizona QB Kyler Murray and Washington QB Jayden Daniels playing statuses aren’t clear right now.

2025 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread during the seventh week of the 2025 NFL season.

We have a light schedule this week with six teams on a bye week.

There are quite a few games dealing with notable injuries at quarterback that could affect betting lines the closer we get to Sunday.

The major injury status to keep an eye on is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who just returned to practice, but as of Thursday morning, his status is up in the air for their game against the Bears.

2025 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread during the fifth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out very rough with the early games, but was able to run the table on the afternoon games.

Last week, we saw a lot of outright upsets against perennial powerhouses. The Eagles, Bills and Chiefs all went down, which probably hasn’t happened in the same week in a long time.

Will the Lions cover on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs?

2025 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread during the third week of the 2025 NFL season.

There were some lopsided wins last week, and I was on the losing end on almost all of those games. I did work my way back for some underdog picks.

After the fourth week is when I tend to pivot on some teams. I have already done that with a couple teams just based off injuries. I think teams like the Rams and Colts are destined to be moved up by rankings. This week’s game will prove a lot about both of those teams. The Buccaneers have a shot to make a big jump as well.

Who will win last year’s playoff rematch between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs?

2025 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread during the second week of the 2025 NFL season.

I could have easily went 13-3 had I not pivoted so early on two of my picks. I usually hold steady, barring injuries, with my own preseason rankings. I tend to view a season in four parts, so I alter my rankings after a team’s fourth game.

We have a huge game on Monday Night Football. The Lions and Ravens meet, which has a shot to be a Super Bowl preview.

2025 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread during the first week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started the year ‘on mild’, but I like this week’s slate of games and betting lines.

We have some big games like the Eagles traveling to Kansas City to have a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs. Also, I think the Broncos at Colts game will be a nice litmus test game for both teams.

Any longshot underdogs covering this weekend?

2025 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

How did your fantasy draft hold up after Week 1? Did any of your late-round sleepers pay off?

There weren’t any new quarterback darlings in fantasy football after the opening week. We did get some possible post-hype sleepers like Daniel Jones play very well in his Colts debut.

There were some rookie wide receivers that made some noise right away. It appears that is the position we could see some new long-term fantasy studs, like Carolina’s Tetairoa McMillan.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals

2025 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 158-120-8 against the spread last season. It wasn’t my best year, as I just hovered around .500 most weeks, but did have a few huge weeks to make my final numbers look much better. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I have written a monster post that somewhat acts like miniature season previews for every team. I don’t expect to reach 4,000 words again this year, but you never know.

Which sophomore quarterback will take a big leap in Year Two?

2024 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 8-7-1 record against the spread in Week 16.

First off, to have a Wednesday afternoon game this late in the season is just psychotic. Teams like to keep things more secret this time of the year. It’s insanely difficult to handicap games on Tuesday night for games that mostly happen on Sunday.

We have games nearly every single day from Christmas Day through Sunday. I’m not sure if I want these Christmas Day games to be a hit or not since games will end up on Tuesdays and Wednesday a few times each decade.

2024 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 5-8 record against the spread in Week 14.

I apologize for the abridged version of this week’s picks. I had a cold to start the week and I had to cram about three days worth of work in a day-and-a-half.

I was still able to give you guys some information about every game and explain my picks for the week.

We have two huge games this week. The Bills/Lions and Steelers/Eagles games could easily be Super Bowl previews.

Can the Panthers cover (as the favorite) against the Cowboys?

2024 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5-1 against the spread in Week 13.

I wasn’t my usual self on Thanksgiving, by I had a great Sunday with my bets.

We are dealing with a lot of injuries this time of the year. We saw 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey and Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence suffer major injuries last week.

We went heavy on the home favorites this week. There are just a lot of hometown value in the lines this week.
