Leave a reply

Travis Kelce dottedI went 5-8-1 in the sixth week of the 2026 NFL season.

Had a rough week, but hopefully we can bounce-back and string together a few winning weeks in-a-row. I’ve been pretty darn good with my college football picks, but need to get it together with the NFL.

The Colts fired their long-time general manager after losing to the lowly Titans. If they don’t right the ship in a hurry, they could be sellers by the trade deadline.

Can the Kansas City Chiefs win outright on the road against the Seahawks?

Trevor-Lawrence-dotted.jpg I went 9-7 in the fourth week of the 2026 NFL season.

I finally got my first dub against the spread on a Thursday night game this year. It was long overdue.

Not that we are roughly a quarter of the season under out belts, we are starting to see which teams are better than expected – and some stinkers. The Jaguars have been a nice surprise so far. They have been a streaky team in the past. Let’s hope they can keep this up.

Can the Atlanta Falcons stay hot at home against the Baltimore Ravens?

Brock Purdy dottedI went 7-9 in the third week of the 2026 NFL season.

I think I’m 0-3 on Thursday Night Football games. I have historically done very well on those – not this year.

The Atlanta Falcons played pretty darn good with QB Michael Penix back. They face a much improved Saints team on Monday Night Football this week.

Caleb Williams had to sit out last week do to a hamstring injury that occurred in Week 2. Case Keenum turned back the clock and was impressive in last week’s win.

How will the Giants look without QB Jaxson Dart?

2025 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I wasn’t able to pick the Thursday night game, so I only had 15 picks last week.

I need some big weeks to climb back and avoid my first-ever below .500 season since I started doing this many years ago.

We have some changes at quarterback this week, so there are a few tough games to handicap on the schedule.

2025 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-2 against the spread during the tenth week of the 2025 NFL season.

The betting lines were extremely close to the actual outcomes last week. We will start to see this more as sportsbooks and bettors are dialing in on teams.

We saw some injuries at quarterback the last few weeks, The Falcons lost QB Michael Penix for the year, and Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers broke his wrist. On the flipside, the Giants will get rookie QB Jaxson Dart back from concussion.

2025 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread during the tenth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I had a rough start to the games on Sunday, but thankfully, I nearly ran the table after that to keep myself from a disastrous week.

There are some fun games on the schedule, with only two teams out on bye.

The best game could be the Seahawks at Rams, which will help secure the leader in the NFC West.

2025 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread during the ninth week of the 2025 NFL season.

We have another week of with 14 games on the schedule.

I’ve been hovering around .500 for nearly the entire season. I needed to make some changes to my rankings after the midway point in the season. I moved some teams, but I didn’t do anything drastic.

The trade deadline was interesting this year. There were some big names that movies, but mostly on the defensive side. The Jets were the biggest seller at the deadline, but their season was already in the tubes.

2025 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread during the seventh week of the 2025 NFL season.

We have a light schedule this week with six teams on a bye week.

There are quite a few games dealing with notable injuries at quarterback that could affect betting lines the closer we get to Sunday.

The major injury status to keep an eye on is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who just returned to practice, but as of Thursday morning, his status is up in the air for their game against the Bears.

2025 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

kyler murray dotted finalI went 7-9 against the spread during the fourth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out pretty rough with the early games, but nearly caught up with the late games on Sunday. I split the Monday night games, so I came up a game short of .500.

This is the start of the bye weeks, so we have four teams on bye. We also have a lame early-Sunday game in London, which have largely been dull outings.

2024-25 NFL Wild Card Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 18.

Week 18 was a case in backwards thinking. A lot of bad teams won and ruined their draft stock. Bad teams/franchises tend to make things worse for themselves and I bet on a lot of those teams to do just that.

It’s important to look at weather reports, the strength of opponents down the stretch and injury reports before placing your bets.

2024 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 5-8 record against the spread in Week 14.

I apologize for the abridged version of this week’s picks. I had a cold to start the week and I had to cram about three days worth of work in a day-and-a-half.

I was still able to give you guys some information about every game and explain my picks for the week.

We have two huge games this week. The Bills/Lions and Steelers/Eagles games could easily be Super Bowl previews.
