2024 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-12 against the spread in Week 3 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

We have two big marquee games this weekend. USC travels to Michigan to start their Big Ten conference schedule, and Tennessee travels to Oklahoma for the start of the Sooners era in the SEC.

How will the teams fare in their new conferences this season?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I would have been down this week, but I was able to hit on a Purdue moneyline to keep me in the black.

There are some big games in the Big Ten this week. Purdue at Ohio State and Michigan at Penn State have Big Ten Championship-altering potential.

Can Oklahoma stay perfect on the year with a win at Baylor?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 17-8 against the spread last week.

I had my best betting week of the college football season. I started the season with a couple rough-to-average weeks, but have been racking up wins more down the stretch.

The Big Ten has some big games this week. Michigan at Michigan State, Penn State at Ohio State and Iowa at Wisconsin are all must-watch games.

I’m keeping an eye on Florida State at Clemson. It’s a must-win for Clemson as they’re struggling right now. I think Florida State has a shot at the upset.

2020-21 College Basketball – All-Name Team

We didn’t lose that many players on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team. We were in a little bit of a rebuilding phase after losing many the year before. We actually have many new faces/names on this year’s list.

We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is strong and is a better version of last year’s All-Name Team.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so I am often jealous of people with unique names. The most unique thing about my name is that I was not born ‘Robert Roberts’, Bobby is my given name. I don’t know too many grown men named Bobby.

This list consists of names that we wished he had and ones we find humorous. Enjoy!

2020 NCAA Football – Week 15 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10 against the spread last week.

There have already been a handful of games cancelled due to COVID-19, and I expect many more will fall into that category before Saturday.

I was really looking forward to the now-cancelled Indiana/Purdue and Ohio State/Michigan games, but for very different reasons. I wanted to see more from IU’s backup quarterback and also see Ohio State blowout a bad Michigan team. 

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 15 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (December 12th, 2020).

2020 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 12-13 against the spread last week.

I’ve been struggling the last three weeks with my college football picks. I thought the addition of Big Ten games to the schedule would fix my string of bad luck, but nope! Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa all shit the bed in their debuts.

I was impressed by a few Big Ten players last week. Michigan QB Joe Milton didn’t need to showcase much in their win over Minnesota, but he could do some damage with his size and athleticism. I was having Cam Newton flashbacks last weekend.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 11-12 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to see more potential college football games on the schedule. It was tough gathering 25 games to pick when there were barely 25 games on the schedule.

Big Ten and Mountain West teams are making their season debuts this week. This will add a dozen games to the schedule with a few other conferences due to start in the coming weeks.

Can Ohio State start to receive first-place votes in the polls with a big win against Nebraska?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 14 NCAA Virginia Tech Hokies cheerleadersI went 16-9 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

This is the last week with a full slate of college football games. Next week is full of conference championship games and the yearly Army/Navy game.

Rivalry games can be tough to handicap. You can have all the data in the world, but sometimes a bad team can muster up enough big plays to defeat their hated rivals. Those are impossible to predict, but that’s the fun of rivalry week.

Can Ohio State chock up another win against the team up north?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 14 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 30th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 12 NCAA Minnesota Golden Gophers cheerleadersI went 16-8-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I’ve been doing really well with my college football picks lately, which makes up for the last two stinker weeks with my NFL picks.

There are still a couple undefeated teams out there that could really shake up the College Football Playoff. Minnesota and Baylor are definitely two teams no one thought would be undefeated at this point in the season.

Can Minnesota survive against Iowa to stay unbeaten?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 8 NCAA LSU Tigers cheerleadersI went 15-9-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are really in the heart of the conference schedules and we are seeing some big rivalry games pop up every weekend. The Penn State/Michigan game has a little extra importance this year since Michigan looks rather vulnerable.

There’s usually a really weird betting week that happens this time of the year. It seems like some weird things happen when seasons start to change and we get a slate of games full of upsets.

Will this be the Bizarro betting weekend?

2017 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

Your boy had another .500 week, actually a game above that mark. I nailed nearly every marquee game, but my smaller school bets didn’t go very well. This is the opposite of how it usually goes for me. In my years of betting on college football, I’ve made most of my money betting small schools. I can usually find value there, something that is rarely ever there in SEC or Big Ten games.

There are some big rivalry games this weekend. The biggest is #3 Penn State traveling to Columbus to take on Ohio State. Can the Buckeyes ruin Penn State’s perfect season? Can they cover the -6.5 spread in a big pressure game?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the NCAA Football season (October 28th, 2017). We pick some smaller conference games.

2017 March Madness: #5 Minnesota vs #12 Middle Tennessee

2017 JaCorey Williams Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders NCAA Tournament March MadnessWe are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

No one expected Minnesota to be this good at the start of the season. Not only did they miss the NCAA Tournament and NIT last year, but they only won eight games. A college program doesn’t usually make this kind of turnaround unless they had a top recruiting class, which the Golden Gophers did not have.

Middle Tennessee dominated in Conference USA. They would have probably received an at-large bid if they failed to win the conference tournament.

Can Middle Tennessee pull off another upset?

Who do you think will win? We help you fill out your bracket.
