2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedWe finally don’t have to deal with any byes this week. You shouldn’t have to deal with holes in your lineup, unless you have a recently-injured player like TE Kyle Pitts or WR Wan’Dale Robinson.

You will have an awkward issue of having three games on Thursday. There are some injury question marks that play on Sunday, so should you roll the dice or play it safe by playing your backup that plays on Thanksgiving?

Now that the Niners offense is healthy, is QB Jimmy Garoppolo a must-start going forward?

Should you sit Packers QB Aaron Rodgers against the Eagles?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 12 of the 2022 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Jimmy Garoppolo of San Francisco 49ers.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

daniel jones dottedThe Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Jacksonville Jaguars are out on bye this week. Who should you stream to replace quaterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Geno Smith?

Injuries are hurting a few fantasy starters right now. Bill QB Josh Allen is dealing with an elbow injury and Raiders QB Derek Carr is missing a few of his favorite targets.

We are only a couple games away from Browns QB Deshaun Watson making his Browns debut. Is it time to add him to your bench?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Daniel Jones of New York Giants.

2022 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread last week.

I had a shot at an eleven-win week again, but the Bengals failed to show up against the Browns.

After this week, I feel like we will have a better idea which teams are contenders and which teams just benefited from an easier early season schedule. The Bills/Jets and Titans/Chiefs games are two examples of those contests.

There are three double-digit point spreads this week. Will any of them cover?

Can the Packers turn their season around with a cover in Detroit?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 9 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

derrick henry dottedI went 9-5 against the spread last week.

I had a shot at an eleven-win week, but I failed to cover in the primetime games on Sunday and Monday. 

Many teams find themselves with a different starting quarterback than they had just a few weeks ago. The Colts made a change by naming QB Sam Ehlinger the starter over veteran Matt Ryan. Also, the Saints have given the keys to QB Andy Dalton, regardless of the health of Jameis Winston.

Can the Jets continue their hot start with a cover over the Patriots?

2022 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Lamar Jackson dotted funnyI went 7-9 against the spread last week.

I’ve been hovering around .500 nearly every week this season. I need a big week to break away. I feel pretty solid about my picks this week.

We have two less games on the schedule due to bye weeks. There are a lot of home underdogs this week, are you going to take the bait?

It looks like we could see a couple starting quarterbacks return this week. Patriots QB Mac Jones and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott have a shot to suit up this weekend. Also, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has a small chance of playing as well.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6-2 against the spread last week.

I was glad to see a winning record again after two bland weeks. A couple teams that I had ranking high, but fell on their faces in the first couple games, are finally playing up to their talent level. I expect the Raiders and Bengals will have some tempting point spreads the next couple weeks.

We have a couple games with big question marks at quarterback. The Patriots look to be starting rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the Cowboys are currently unsure if QB Dak Prescott will be healthy enough to suit this week.

How will the Bengals fare against the Baltimore Ravens?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

We will see the first London game of the year, which are usually horribly-played games. I think the underdogs have won most of those games and expect a low-scoring affair.

The Raiders are 0-3 outright and against the spread right now. I thought they could be a potential playoff team at the start of the year. There is still a lot of football left to play. Can the Raiders turn this season around with a cover this week?

How will the Jaguars fare against the Philadelphia Eagles?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

This week’s NFL betting picks was up later than I usually like due to attending an Alice Cooper concert on Tuesday and being in a Nyquil haze due to a lingering cough. It was a good time and I suggest seeing his show while he’s still out there.

There are a few surprise 2-0 teams against the spread right now. No one thought the New York Giants would be among that group, and the Detroit Lions occupy that space as well.

Can the Giants and Lions continue their hot betting streak?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season.

Super Bowl 56 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 56 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 55 (or Super Bowl LV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2022 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 4-4 against the spread last week (and over/under picks).

Last week’s slate of playoff games will go down as one of the best playoff weekends in recent memory. All four games were competitive and each game got better. The finale of Bills/Chiefs was just epic. I really can’t put into words how damn great that game was, you just need to go out of your way to watch the fourth quarter.

The Bengals have a lot of swagger coming into this game. They are clearly playing with house money as no one expected them to be in this spot. You could say the same about the Niners. Will either of the underdogs win outright and earn a spot in the Super Bowl?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread and over/under point totals.

2022 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

We have a slate of six games this weekend and most are rematches from earlier meetings this season. I would preach caution when gleaning too much information from previous meetings, especially those that took place back in October or November. 

There’s only one double-digit point spread this week, which is a far cry from some of recent Wild Card Weekends. The table is set for some close games this weekend.

Can the Chiefs cover the double-digit point spread over the Steelers?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

2021 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-9-2 against the spread last week. 

Due to kidney stone issues, I had to forego my weekly fantasy football sit/start content. If you have any specific sit/start questions, feel free to send an email to BobbyMcRib@gmail.com.

I usually write around 3,000 words in my weekly NFL betting picks column, but this week will be abbreviated due to my overall discomfort.

The final week of the NFL season is always a gamble as teams play coy about the playing status of their key players.

Which team will win home-field advantage in the AFC, Titans or Chiefs?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 18 of the 2021 NFL season.
