2024 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 8-8 against the spread in Week 8.

I was up and down all week and finally finished even last weekend. The betting lines were close overall, but they should probably start to jack up the Detroit Lions point spreads.

We have 15 games on the schedule this week. It’s still a rather full slate of games, which seems odd for this time of the year.

Now that we are at the halfway point in the year, we can look back and see which teams were undervalued to begin the season. The Broncos top that list, as we didn’t factor in their easy early-season schedule.

2024 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 7.

I had an outstanding Sunday, but finished 1-2 in the Sunday and Monday night primetime games. Any week when you have double-digit wins against the spread, is a positive week.

We have a rare midseason schedule with no bye weeks. We also have a handful of double-digit point spreads, which have been extremely rare so far this year. We will be seeing more going forward.

We are seeing injury issues wreaking havoc right now. We saw Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Cleveland lose important players to major injuries that will keep them out for the rest of the season.

2024 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread in Week 3.

I jumped out to a great Week 1, but I’ve been just slightly better than .500 over the last two weeks. I still managed to slightly profit last week thanks to a Commanders moneyline play.

We have two Monday night games again this week, so two more opportunities to ‘get even or get even worse’ from any Sunday losses.

Can Panthers QB Andy Dalton replicated last week’s success against his former team?

2024 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in Week 2.

After a big Week 1, my picks struggled in the late afternoon games on Sunday. I did manage to hit on one of my parlays, so I was still in the black for the week.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently undefeated and host the Houston Texans this Sunday. Can they continue to buck the trend and start the year 3-0 with Sam freakin’ Darnold at quarterback?

How will Panthers QB Andy Dalton fare against the Raiders pass rush?

2024 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread in Week 1.

We had a solid start to the season, but you can’t go all-in on a team that either impressed in Week 1 or completely fell on their face. It’s important to lean on your preseason rankings until an injury or something too glaring to ignore happens.

2024 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 132-116-6 against the spread last season. It wasn’t a banner year and I just hovered around .500 all season long. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I have written a monster post that somewhat acts like miniature season previews for every team. I can’t commit to writing almost 5k words every week, but I feel like it was needed to start the NFL season.

2023 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread during Week 17.

I’m sorry about getting my picks out so late this week. I was waiting on more info on which teams will be sitting starters, and then life got super busy. I unfortunately miss the deadline for Saturday games, but I am picking the remaining 14 games on the schedule.

I have a feeling that we will see a lot of coaches on the chopping block late-Sunday and on Black Monday. Most of the coaches on the hot seat have unfortunate match-ups on Sunday. We could see as many as seven coaches without a job soon.

2023 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Lamar Jackson dotted funnyI went 6-7 against the spread during Week 13.

I apologize for being so late with this week’s NFL picks. I’ve had a busy week and another project has taken up way too much of my free time.

We are almost back to a full slate of games, but we are getting to the point where Saturday games will happen soon. This week’s weird due to two Monday Night Football games, so keep an eye on the TV schedule as not all the games will happen on Sundays going forward.

2023 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread in Week 11.

I’ve historically done really well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I’ve swept the day many times over the years. I’m crawling into the holiday beaten up after a tough week. I hope to continue my Thanksgiving good luck on Thursday.

I worry about the Cincinnati Bengals going forward. QB Joe Burrow is gone for the season and his arm has played such a big part of their win-loss record. Early this season, Burrow wasn’t 100% and the team went on a losing streak. They need strong quarterback play for their offense to work. They could try to lean on RB Joe Mixon, but I’m afraid he’s past his prime.

2023 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

ryan tannehill dottedI had another sub-.500 week, but it wasn’t as bad with a 7-9 record in Week 2.

This week’s article is another bare bones post. It may only be another week or two, but it helped me dedicate some time to work on my mental health. It’s been a rough month or so after my dog passed away. He was 14 years old and was by co-pilot on my lap, or below my feet, for nearly every betting article on this site.

One big positive that happened this week is that I decided to open up my heart to another dog. I was able to get another shih tzu and he’s been amazing. Training a puppy will be a bit difficult, but this little guy is pretty smart.

2023 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough start to the NFL season, but we know go into Week 2 with a lot more information.

This week’s article is bare bones and it may be like this for a week or two. I’ve been dealing with something personal and my mental health is absolute trash right now. I really hit a low about this time last week and didn’t think I could put myself through writing 12k+ words across my normal three weekly articles.

I really do love doing this, but it’s near-impossible when I can’t muster enough attention span to stitch two everyday tasks together. This change will probably be just a week or two.
