2022 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

I had a good overall record after the early games, but some late comebacks in the late games threw me back down to around .500 for the week.

There were some surprises in Week 1 that affected my team rankings this preseason. I don’t think the Colts are as good as I expected, and the Commanders had some moments last week that surprised me, in a good way.

Will Packers QB Aaron Rodgers figure out life without former wide receiver Davante Adams?

Can Bengals QB Joe Burrow bounce-back from last week’s poor outing?

2021 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread (again) in Week 4.

There are some big games on the schedule this week. I think we will have an idea of which teams are potential playoff teams after this week.

There are a few injuries to keep an eye on going into the weekend. Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater is in concussion-protocol, Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a calf injury that may or may not force him to miss this week and Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey could return this week. All three of those players statuses are up in the air.

How will Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes manage against the Bills #1 ranked defense?

2021 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 3.

It’s clear that the Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders were the three most underrated teams going into this season. It could be time to jump off their bandwagons as the betting lines are starting to reflect respect for their early season performances

How will Bucs QB Tom Brady fare in his homecoming against the Patriots?

Can the Steelers bounce-back from last week’s loss and keep it close against the Packers

2021 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread last week.

It could be time to change your mind on a few teams. The Panthers didn’t have many believers going into the season, but at this moment, adding QB Sam Darnold appears to be one of the smartest moves this offseason. Also, on the opposite end of the spectrum, the Colts could be in for a very long season.

Can the Vikings get their first outright win this week?

Will Justin Fields make his first NFL start or will the Bears hold off a few more weeks?

2021 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in the opening week.

Week 2 can be tricky for those who react too swiftly to the first week outcomes. You do need to be flexible, but there are always Week 1 aberrations. I would suggest that you look back at your preseason rankings and decide which teams impressed you enough to adjust their ranking and which ones you need to double-down this week and hope for a bounce-back performance

Can the Packers forget last week’s blowout loss and cover a double-digit point spread at home against the Lions?

Can the Ravens avenge last season’s loss to the Chiefs?

2021 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 152-121-8 against the spread last season. I hope this season will be a little less erratic with COVID issues, but it appears that will not be the case. I would suggest to hold off on placing any large bets until the day before kickoff. There will be a few games ruined by positive tests at some point this year.

There was a huge turnover with starting quarterbacks this offseason. A lot of new faces in new places. Will any of these veteran quarterbacks turn back the clock and play like their peak?

How will Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and Giants RB Saquon Barkley bounce-back from major injuries?

Can the Browns avenge last year’s playoff elimination against the Chiefs?

Betting Picks: 2021 NFL Over/Under Season Wins

The NFL added an extra game to their regular season schedule and teams will now play seventeen games. It makes the over/under win totals a little extra tricky.

These win total prop bets have been out there for months now, but I wanted to see the final 53-man rosters for every team before I made my picks.

This year’s strong rookie quarterback class made this offseason more interesting than most. It’s hard for a team to sit a first-round quarterback these days. The life-cycle of a front office is shorter than ever, so these general managers want to see their rookie QBs make them look smart.

Will the Rams or Lions benefit the most from their quarterback swap?

2020 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread last week.

This was my first week that I went under .500 this season. I had a rough stretch of afternoon games that really tanked my record for the week.

The Steelers/Ravens game was going to be the best game on Thanksgiving (by far), but due to Baltimore’s COVID-19 outbreak, it was moved to the early game schedule on Sunday.

Can I get another clean Thanksgiving sweep against the spread?

2020 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week.

I was able to make a comeback last week after having a rough stretch in the early games, but nearly ran the table the rest of Sunday.

There are some COVID-19 issues on the Ravens right now, but they think it’s under control. They added seven to the COVID-19 reserve list. They haven’t had any positive tests since.

A few teams are dealing with quarterback injuries and we will see two new faces starting this week for the Cowboys and Jaguars.

2020 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

The U.S. elections are taking place and it might be easy to forget to set your lineup this week, especially if some of these races creep into Thursday.

The teams off this week are the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles.

You could be needing to replace some important pieces on your fantasy team with QB Baker Mayfield, QB Joe Burrow and the Los Angeles Rams defense on bye.

How will Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa fare in his second start?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 9 of the 2020 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of RB Tua Tagaovailoa of the Miami Dolphins.

2020 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get an firm grasp on which teams are potential playoff teams and which teams look like they could be headed in the ‘Tank for Trevor Lawrence’ direction.

We don’t have a Thursday night game this week, but we have two games Monday evening. They moved the game since the Bills played on Tuesday and it would have been insane if they were forced to play just two days later.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers heads to Tampa Bay on Sunday to face QB Tom Brady. Can the Bucs give the Packers their first loss?
