2024 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

2023 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I had another middle-of-the-road week with a 13-12 record in Week 11.

I’ve been streaky when it comes to West Coast teams this season. I started cold, but hit some nice Pac-12 parlays in October. I’m back to being lukewarm again. I hope to end the year strong with a few big games in the conference this weekend.

I would be aware that this week has been notorious for dreaded ‘trap games’ in the past. Many of the teams playing this week will be playing their rivals the next two weeks. On paper, there are some forgettable games on the schedule, but could end up being major if one of the top teams overlooks this week’s opponents.

2023 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I had a rough outing with a 10-13-2 record.

The early games really bent me over, but I was able to not make this a complete disaster with a sweep of a half-dozen late-Saturday night games.

We have some important games on the schedule this week. Michigan versus Penn State will get the most oxygen, but I would point out that the Tennessee/Missouri and Mississippi/Georgia contests could transform the eventual College Football Playoff race more. Ole Miss and Missouri are both very underrated teams.

2023 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I had a bounce-back performance with a 15-10 record.

It was nice to have a larger number in the positive for the first time in a couple weeks. There weren’t a lot of big marquee games last week, but there were some solid underdog plays that hopefully paid off for you guys.

The sleeper game this week could be Missouri at Georgia. The Tigers are an underrated team, and every time I’ve watched them this season, they’ve impressed me. I’m not saying they will beat Georgia outright, but I might put a couple jellybeans on the moneyline and pray.

2023 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I had my worst week of the season with a 11-13-1 record.

This week’s slate of games feels a little light. The big games of Oklahoma vs Texas (at a neutral site) and Alabama at Mississippi State are sucking up most of the oxygen this week. These games could likely eliminate the other from the College Football Playoff race. It’s too early in the season to completely do that, but they would be in a large hole.

Can Kentucky pull off the upset against Georgia?

Forget The Draft, It’s About The Free-Agents

Every year, only 60 players get picked in the NBA draft. That’s 60 players versus a multitude of that number in NBA hopefuls. And if you consider the NBA draft picks being the main and only game in town that decides on the future of the NBA, you might be mistaken. The world of unrestricted and restricted free-agents might be just as exciting and vibrant and, more importantly, decisive in the NBA power rankings. There could be many reasons why someone is or has become a free-agent, unpicked in the draft, released by a team due to rebuilding purposes, salary cap issues, but being a free-agent does not diminish someone’s value in the market.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 14-11 against the spread last week.

There are huge rivalry games on the schedule this week.

Rivalry games can sometimes be difficult to handicap. The teams come in extra motivated and sometimes players have their own personal motivation (i.e. not getting a scholarship offer, growing up with a hatred of rival). There are just factors you can’t throw into a calculator and use in your decision-making process.

Also, this is ‘sort of’ the last week of the regular season. There are other games after this week, but this is the traditional end of the regular season for most college football teams…and weird stuff tends to happen this week.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 13 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (November, 24th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 16-9 against the spread last week.

After a few weeks of near .500 against the spread in college football, I finally had a week to hang my hat on.

I was getting frustrated and there was a couple weeks where I was a bit sluggish on writing my betting picks. They came out a day or two later than I normally write them (late-Wednesdays). I just had to re-evaluate some teams and tweak my own personal rankings.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 with college football picks against the spread in Week 2.

Betting the second week of the season is much easier after seeing teams play the week before. There is a lot of value in riding a couple teams every week until they fail to cover the spread. Also, it could be time to readjust your own personal rankings.

There are some important games this weekend. Ohio State at TCU is huge in the grand scheme of things. Also, USC at Texas may not factor in the title picture, but it’s always fun when these two teams meet up early in the year.

2018 March Madness: #8 Missouri vs #9 Florida State

We hope to help you beat your siblings/friends in your bracket pool.

Missouri had high hopes of being a top seed going into the season. They were unlucky and lost star Michael Porter Jr. in the first game of the season. Well, he’s back and this team could be a tough out in this tournament.

Florida State struggled down the stretch in the ACC, but they are a difficult physical match-up with nearly any team as they are long.

Who do you think will win?

Do you have #8 Missouri or #9 Florida State?

2016 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a very average week and finished 13-12. I don’t feel too bad about it, but wished the outcome was better. I made educated picks and if two or three of them went the other way, I’d feel pretty darn great.

Week 2 was full of large point spreads and honestly it was about 50/50 on the favorites covering in those games. I don’t think it will mess with point spreads too much going forward, but maybe Georgia should get knocked a few points for keeping the Nicholls State game close.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday (September 17th, 2016) and a few Thursday games. We also picked five extra games as a bonus.

2015 NFL Draft Combine: Ten Players to Watch

The 2015 NFL Draft Combine takes place at the end of next week. The yearly event in Indianapolis has turned into must-see television. The NFL Network does a fantastic job covering the combine.

We all know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will most likely draft Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston with the first overall pick, but the rest of the draft is up for grabs.

All the top prospects for the 2015 NFL Draft will be there (with a few choosing to only workout at their college’s pro day) and many will see a change in their draft stock. A player can drastically change their round projection with an outstanding performance.

Here are ten players to keep an eye on during the 2015 NFL Draft Combine.
