2015 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

It feels like Christmas Day! NFL season begins on Thursday and I will be glued to the couch all weekend watching NFL and college football games. It will be glorious.

I’ve went 264-203-19 combined in the past two years picking NFL games against the spread. I’ve been posting my picks for the last five or six years, but really only kept a running total in recent years.

Week 1 is a tricky betting week. You can watch all the preseason football games you want and never get a feel for what the team will look like in their first regular season game.

I’ve been on a roll the last two years by winning over 60% of my NFL game picks against the spread. Let’s hope the hot streak continues.

2015 NFL Team Preview: Kansas City Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs went the entire 2014 season without throwing a touchdown pass to a wide receiver. Yes, that actually happened in a year in which the NFL saw an increase in passing yards across the board. Alex Smith threw 18 touchdowns, but they were all to tight ends, running backs and fullbacks. I doubt that feat will ever be duplicated again.

The Chiefs have looked great under head coach Andy Reid. He put in his West Coast offense and Alex Smith is the perfect quarterback for it. He runs well and doesn’t have to throw the ball 25 yards ever time he drops back. It also helps to have Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles lining up behind you.

Here is the 2015 NFL team preview for the Kansas City Chiefs.

2014 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I took a few chances last week and went 6-7. I could have went safe, but felt like there was some value in a few underdogs. I now sit at 74-70-2 against the spread in the NFL on the season.

I’m happy to report that there are only a couple double-digit point spreads this week. There were seven in the previous two week’s combined.

I had a decent year betting against the spread in the NFL last season (133-95-10). Any year you hit nearly 60% of the NFL games against the spread is a damn good year. Let’s hope my win percentage is near that this season.

2014 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

After getting roughed up in Week 8, I bounced back. I went 9-4 on the week and now sit at 68-63-2 against the spread on the season.

I received something last week that was even better than going 9-4. The return of ‘The Walking Buttfumble‘ Mark Sanchez into my life! I can’t wait to make Twitter jokes at his expense on Monday night. You can follow me on Twitter at @Sweetbob.

2014 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The preseason is (finally) over and we can now bet on real NFL games!

I had a decent season betting against the spread in the NFL last season (133-95-10). Any year you hit nearly 60% of the NFL games against the spread is a damn good year. I hope to keep it going in 2014.

Going into Week 1, you should take what you learned in the preseason with a grain of salt. The players who played the most, probably won’t be huge factors this week. There is a reason they felt comfortable having them play a lot in meaningless games. Just look at the stats in the first and second quarter when looking at preseason box scores.

2013 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had to wait until the last minute to post my NFL picks against the spread. There was so many things that were unknown earlier this week. We know know the status of Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and even Jon Kitna…yep, THAT Jon Kitna.

I have a 124-88-10 record against the spread so far this season.

There are five games with double-digit point spreads and playoff spots and seeds are still up for grabs. This is an odd Week 17, since we have two ‘loser leaves town’ games.

I hate betting in Week 17, but it’s the last shot at betting a full slate of games. There is no such thing as a ‘sure thing’ this week, weird shit will happen, my friends.

2013 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Sorry about this week’s NFL picks article being postedlate, but I think I ate a bad McRib this week. I know there is really no such thing as a ‘bad McRib’, but I think one found my stomach. I’m fighting through it, so this week’s NFL picks against the spread is short and sweet.

I have a 116-80-10 record against the spread so far this season.

There are five games with double-digit point spreads and 80% of the games are garbage. It’s not a great week to watch NFL games.

In December, weather reports become more important than ever. Those must be looked at before you make a decision. It is also important to look at division records.

Can all five teams cover double-digit point spreads this weekend? Nope.

2013 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I started out strong last week, but the late games got me. I had a couple bad beats, but I had a better week than Ed Reed. I still have a strong 73-49-8 record against the spread this year.

I like a lot of favorites this week, but not in the marquee games. I suggest sleeping in on Sunday, since the early slate of games is atrocious. There are some nice bets, but watching those games will be a struggle.

There are only two teams on bye this week. Finally, the weeks of having a half dozen teams on bye are over. I suggest keeping an eye on injury reports and weather conditions from this point forward.
