2021 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-11-2 against the spread last week.

It’s Conference Championship Week! I would have named it that but there is one non-conference title games this week. USC at California is the lone game with only bragging rights on the line.

We have seen some prominent head coaches in college football change jobs this week. There’s a chance that a handful of head coaches in this week’s games will be coaching other teams next season.

Can Michigan take care of Iowa and punch their ticket into the College Football Playoff?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football game against the spread in Week 14 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (December 4th, 2021).

2018 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 with college football picks against the spread in Week 2.

Betting the second week of the season is much easier after seeing teams play the week before. There is a lot of value in riding a couple teams every week until they fail to cover the spread. Also, it could be time to readjust your own personal rankings.

There are some important games this weekend. Ohio State at TCU is huge in the grand scheme of things. Also, USC at Texas may not factor in the title picture, but it’s always fun when these two teams meet up early in the year.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (September 15th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2018 March Madness: #6 Houston vs #11 San Diego State

It’s been a decade since Kelvin Sampson led a team to an NCAA Tournament berth. Houston is the fourth different school he will coach in the tournament. As crazy as it sounds, this team might be one of his best overall teams.

San Diego State no longer has Steve Fisher on the sidelines, but his assistant has implemented the same philosophy. He used a strong emphasis on defense and led the Aztecs to recent success in the tournament. Can they do it without Fisher?

Can one of these teams be a bracket-buster in the next round?

Who do you think will win?

Do you have #6 Houston Cougars or #11 San Diego State Aztecs?

2017 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went .500 last week, but hit on a couple moneylines to make up for a few bad beats. A few of those beats came during garbage time, which is always a mood killer.

There are some traditional rivalry games like Florida State/Miami, LSU/Florida and Michigan State/Michigan games that could be tricky. Records can be deceiving when rivals face each other. It’s nice to go back and look at historical data, but only if some impact players have played in those seasons.

We are approaching the time when you can start comparing teams with common foes. If ‘X’ beat ‘Y’ and ‘Y’ beat ‘Z’, ‘X’ should be favored against ‘Z’. It’s not always the case, but it can held you maintain your own rankings.

Can Washington State cover at Oregon?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 6 of the NCAA Football season (October 7th, 2017). We also focus on small conference games…our bread and butter!

2015 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

Sorry I didn’t post a ‘college football picks against the spread’ post last week. I never bet on the first week of college football. It’s too risky and honestly, a lot of it is just dumb luck. You don’t get a preseason to watch the teams and it’s a crapshoot. I like going into a ‘betting season’ with more knowledge than just what comes in a media guide.

I’ve been making college football picks against the spread for the last five or six years. I’ve only been keeping a running total the last two years. I am 282-197-12 during that time.

I’ve been on a hot streak the last two years. Any year in which you have a 60%+ success rate on your bets. it is a successful year. I hope I helped you guys out.

We pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday (September 12th, 2015), and pick some smaller conference games as well. Enjoy!

2013 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

My streak of winning weeks is still intact…barely.

I went 10-9-1 last week with my picks, bringing my season total to 72-44-7 on the season. It was my worst week so far this season, but still better than many of my sports betting friends.

Week 10 of the 2013 college football season (November 2nd to be exact) has a few rivalry games (Michigan/Michigan State), but college football is still in the lull of finishing conference games. The true rivalry games are still a week or more away.

I want to remind everyone that we’re at a point in the season where favorites often fall or fail to cover the spread. When making a bet, look to see if any teams had a common opponent earlier in the season. Look long and hard at home underdogs and teams trying to lock up bowl eligibility.

We pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday, plus a few games in the MAC and American Athletic Conference as always…we also sneak in a Thursday night game . Enjoy!
