2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Jordan Howard dottedI went 6-8 against the spread last week. 

I’ve had a couple rough weeks after a strong first-half of the season. It was time to pivot and move around some of my personal team rankings.

After a week full of double-digit spreads, we only have two on the docket this week. It is a welcomed change as double-digit NFL spreads can be hard to handicap.

The Cowboys/Chiefs game is the marquee contest this week. Both teams are coming off blowout wins. Can the Chiefs cover at home?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season.

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I would have been down this week, but I was able to hit on a Purdue moneyline to keep me in the black.

2021 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Baker Mayfield late 2019 dottedI went 7-7 against the spread last week. The late games on Sunday bailed me out or the week would have been a disaster.

We have had back-to-back weird weeks in the NFL. Hell, the Jets and Jaguars are playing pretty well right now, so that’s weird in itself.

We have five double-digit point spreads this week. The favorites have actually covered more double-digit spreads than they’ve failed this season.

Will the Bills rebound from last week’s close win over the Jaguars and cover against the Jets?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-15 against the spread last week.

I was coming off one of my best weeks ever and last week took a chunk of those winnings.

College football games can become pretty crazy when the weather starts to get sloppy. We are definitely in that season and I expect the betting lines to be more difficult going forward.

I expect the Michigan State vs. Purdue game to be a fun watch. Purdue is playing better of late and the Spartans are coming off a huge win against Michigan.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (November 6th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week. It was my first week under .500 this season. The late games really did a number on me.

The first week of Autumn weather always brings weird outcomes. Let’s hope last week’s strange games is a one-week occurrence.

There are some games with large point spreads on Thursday night and early Sunday, but the games tighten up during the late games.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shake off his interceptions streak this week against the Packers?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 17-8 against the spread last week.

I had my best betting week of the college football season. I started the season with a couple rough-to-average weeks, but have been racking up wins more down the stretch.

The Big Ten has some big games this week. Michigan at Michigan State, Penn State at Ohio State and Iowa at Wisconsin are all must-watch games.

I’m keeping an eye on Florida State at Clemson. It’s a must-win for Clemson as they’re struggling right now. I think Florida State has a shot at the upset.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 30th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedI went 9-4 against the spread in Week 7.

After going .500 in the early Sunday games, I ran the table the rest of the day.

We nearly have a full schedule of games with only two teams on bye. We also have a few double-digit point spreads (again) this week. We will be seeing more and more of those going forward. I’m curious to see if we break an all-time record for them due to the new 17-game season.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes bounce-back from a rough week and look like his old self against the Giants on Monday Night Football?

Can the Detroit Lions get their first win?

2021 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I had a rough start with my noon game picks, but was perfect in the afternoon slate of games. I want to thank the Cowboys for scoring a touchdown in overtime instead of just trying to get a field goal.

There are only 13 games on the schedule due to six teams being out on bye.

There are three games with double-digit point spreads. Will any of the favorites cover the large spreads?

How will Seattle QB Geno Smith fare in his second start with the team?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

My bets were looking great…but then Oklahoma replaced QB Spencer Rattler with Caleb Williams. and that was a turning point. How the hell did Texas lose that game?

Kentucky has a huge ‘prove it’ game against Georgia. Both teams are undefeated, but the Wildcats are far less respected. Can Kentucky surprise everyone and keep it close against Georgia?

2021 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

The bye weeks have started and we will only have fourteen games on the schedule. It feels like a fuller slate of games since we have a London game and an important game on Monday Night Football.

We saw a few potential season-shifting injuries last week. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson injured a finger on his throwing hand and will be out until December. The Giants also have injury concerns with QB Daniel Jones, who is currently sitting in concussion-protocol.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 10-3 after the early games, but the Pac-12 games did me dirty.

There are some big Big Ten games this week. We will know if Penn State and Maryland are contenders after this week.

Can Notre Dame rebound from their home loss to Cincinnati last week?

2021 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread (again) in Week 4.

There are some big games on the schedule this week. I think we will have an idea of which teams are potential playoff teams after this week.

There are a few injuries to keep an eye on going into the weekend. Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater is in concussion-protocol, Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a calf injury that may or may not force him to miss this week and Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey could return this week. All three of those players statuses are up in the air.

How will Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes manage against the Bills #1 ranked defense?
