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 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

I started the year 13-12 against the spread.

This week’s games don’t have the caché as last week’s marquee match-ups. We have a lot of filler games and FBS vs. FCS teams to pad their win totals.

Texas are licking their wounds after falling to Ohio State. They have a gimme game this week when San Jose State travels to Austin.

Will Michigan freshman QB Bryce Underwood perform well against the Oklahoma Sooners?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 2 of the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (September 6th, 2025).

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?

2025 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

It’s officially the start of the college football season, so let the betting begin!

There is a lot of hype surround a specific Manning kid that plays down in Texas. His autographed cards are selling for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. He has a tough test in Week 1, and we should get an idea where his talent level is against Ohio State.

There are more marquee games than just Ohio State/Texas since college football doesn’t have to compete with the NFL. We have games every day from Thursday through Monday night.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 1 of the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (August 30th, 2025).

Super Bowl 59 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 59 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular prop bets for Super Bowl 59 (or Super Bowl LIX for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2024-25 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-0-1 against the spread during the Divisional Round.

We have two very different games on the schedule this week.

The NFC Championship have a new contender in the race with the Washington Commanders being a surprise opponent for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The AFC Championship had no surprises, as these two teams were favored to meet here since the start of the season.

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread (and point over/under totals) for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

2024-25 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-3 against the spread during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were a bit ho-hum, but we did get one or two solid games. I expect a lot more drama this week. I think both late games will deliver just that.

The Chiefs and Lions are coming off their well-deserved bye week, will they look rested or rusty?

Does rookie Washington QB Jayden Daniels have any more magic left in him?

We pick every NFL Divisional game against the spread and throw out a few upsets for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

2024-25 NFL Wild Card Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 18.

Week 18 was a case in backwards thinking. A lot of bad teams won and ruined their draft stock. Bad teams/franchises tend to make things worse for themselves and I bet on a lot of those teams to do just that.

It’s important to look at weather reports, the strength of opponents down the stretch and injury reports before placing your bets.

Can the Commanders continue to surprise and cover against Tampa Bay?

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.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season.

2024-25 College Football Playoff Betting Picks Against Spread – 1st Round

I went 6-2 against the spread in the final regular season week of the 2024-25 College Football season.

I usually don’t do too many college football betting posts after the regular season. It’s hard to do weekly betting picks for bowl games due to all the transfer portal and the coaching carousel changes. This year, due to the new College Football Playoff format, it’s much easier to do the playoff games.

Can the Indiana Hoosiers shut up the haters and win in South Bend?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football games against the spread for the first round of games of the 2024-25 NCAA College Football Playoff.

2024 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 11-5 record against the spread in Week 15.

It was nice to have a rebound after a couple weeks of middling results. I feel like there was value in many of the betting lines last week.

We have a few more double-digit point spreads this week Don’t get too comfortable now that a 17-point spread covered last week. Double-digit point spreads are still a tough cover in the NFL.

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?
