2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

I am battling one hell of a flu bug this week. I actually started this post on Tuesday and had to quit due to everything spinning.

Now that I am feeling a little better, I’ve still only eaten saltine crackers since Monday, let’s crank out some fantasy football and betting posts!

I had a few studs and duds with my picks last week. I’m feeling better now that I’ve seen what roles from of the new players played for their teams in Week 1.

Can Gardner Minshew become a stud for the Jaguars?

2018 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

I may have went .500 last week, but I did personally benefit from Raiders and Dolphins moneyline bets. I didn’t bet a ton on those underdog moneylines, but it put me in the black for the weekend.

It’s time to start figuring out if a team still has anything left to play for this season. All the potential playoff teams haven’t clinched a specific seed yet, so there aren’t any that are resting their guys (but it could happen next week).

Also, teams like the Raiders, who will not benefit from a win, are still playing hard (see: last week’s win). Don’t automatically go against a team that you feel is tanking. There are 53 guys on that team still playing for another paycheck next season.

2018 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I’ve been traveling a lot this week and I haven’t had a ton of time to write up my fantasy football and NFL football picks against the spread. I have done a lot of research, but it has just come down to putting ‘pen to paper’ (or the equivalent of today’s technology).

I was unable to carve enough time to write up a fantasy football post this week, but I at least needed to post my betting picks. I wasn’t able to give any insight into my picks, but I put as much time in the picking the games as usual.

2018 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-5-1 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well on Thanksgiving. I’ve been perfect the last two Turkey Days. I’ve at least went 2-1 every year for as long as I can remember. I’ve just been able to find value with these lines.

…and I hope I didn’t just jinx it.

There are fifteen games on the schedule for the first time in awhile. This is the final week for byes, so we are going back to a sixteen game schedule next week.

Will Matthew Stafford lay an egg on Thanksgiving?

2018 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-3 against the spread last week.

I started the year off pretty bland, but I’m getting a better feel for the teams now. I just had to adjust my rankings a bit. Also, the half-point losses were a killer early this season. I’ve been on the right side of those the last three weeks.

Which teams are tanking for a draft pick? The Raiders, Browns, Giants and Bills are making a run to the bottom of the league. You could make a case that all but one of those teams are in the market for a talented young quarterback.

Should tanking affect your betting strategy? Yes, but it’s a little too early to hold that against most teams…but the Raiders are definitely tanking right now.

2018 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

There are four teams on bye this week. The Broncos, Vikings, Ravens and the Texans are all off.

You could be in need of replacements for fantasy studs like QB Kirk Cousins, WR DeAndre Hopkins or WR Adam Thielen.

Now that many of your players have dealt with bye weeks, it’s time to look at your roster and trim the fat. There may not be a need to carry two tight ends anymore. You can build your roster towards the fantasy playoffs.

When is your league trade deadline? If it hasn’t passed, you could look to improve your team through late-season trades.

2018 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-5-1 against the spread last week.

I started out 0-2 against the spread, but went 8-2-1 after the London game ended on Sunday. I really needed that.

It might be time to abandon a team or jump on the bandwagon on a team that has struggled against the spread. Market corrections are coming soon for some of these teams.

Can Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles make a huge turnaround and keep his starting job? He will need a huge performance in London.

2018 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 8

The trade deadline is approaching and fantasy values of some players will change. Since they moved the deadline back a few years ago, ‘out of contention’ teams have looked to unload players for future picks.

There are still some pretty significant injuries again affecting teams this week. QB Deshaun Watson, RB LeSean McCoy and RB Marshawn Lynch are the new-ish names on the list.

Can the Cincinnati Bengals fantasy stars do some damage against the weak Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense?

2018 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

There were some close-to-the-betting-line games last week. There were three ties in my weekly bets. I still finished slightly under .500, which was aggravating. I missed two games by a point or less. I’m limping a little, but I’m feeling strong this week.

Vegas is predicting another week of close games. There is only one double-digit point spread and nearly half of the games are within a field goal. I may not have any nails left on my hands by Monday night.

The rookie quarterbacks were 0-4 outright last week. Will they bounce back this week?

2018 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 last week and missed two games by a half-point. I was also surprised by the Bills/Vikings and Jaguars/Titans outcomes. I did not have a very good overall week. I guess it should have been expected in a week with a ton of -3 games. It was going to be a difficult week to handicap.

This is another week with plenty close games. There are also some home underdogs worth keeping an eye on.

There are a handful of new quarterbacks starting this week. Rookie quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen make their first starts and Niners second-year QB C.J. Beathard takes over for injured Jimmy Garoppolo.

Will any of the new faces make an impact for their teams?

2018 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Were you one of those guys who bet on NFL preseason games?

I get it. You were excited to wager on football again and just jumped the gun a little. It’s now time to bet on some games that count!

We had a pretty good year betting on NFL games last year. We went 144-115-16 and hit on a few underdog moneylines to come out in the black for the season.

There are a ton of new quarterbacks making their first starts for their new teams this weekend. Veteran quarterbacks like Kirk Cousins, Alex Smith and Sam Bradford hope to lead their new teams to successful seasons. Also, quarterbacks Andrew Luck, Deshaun Watson and Ryan Tannehill return from injuries. Which quarterback will make the biggest impact in Week 1?

2018 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-0-1 against the spread last week, but whiffed in my over/under picks. The last-second touchdown from Vikings WR Stefon Diggs helped me avoid a loss. I was really hoping they would kick the extra point, but they downed it instead, which lead to a push.

Weather ‘might’ be a factor since both Conference Championship games are being played outdoors. Keep a close eye on weather reports and make sure there isn’t a snowstorm or an arctic blast that pops up this weekend.

Should the Patriots really be a nine-point favorite against the Jaguars?

Can Case Keenum pull out another miracle and lead the Vikings to the Super Bowl?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread.
