2014 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 8-7-1 last week. I’ve been hovering around .500 for most of the season. I’ve had some nice underdog moneyline wins, but there are a few teams that I haven’t got a good feel for this season. I’ve whiffed on the Vikings, Rams and Falcons more the other teams. I now sit at 105-97-5 with my NFL picks against the spread this season.

I have no idea why Rob Gronkowski had a photoshoot with a kitten. I actually can’t explain anything he does, so it makes sense.

I had a decent year betting against the spread in the NFL last season (133-95-10). Any year you hit nearly 60% of the NFL games against the spread is a damn good year. Let’s hope my win percentage is near that this season.

2014 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I started out well (2-1 on Thanksgiving), but then the late games on Sunday stuck it to me. I finished 7-9 and completely whiffed on the Raiders/Rams and Giants/Jaguars games. I now sit at 97-90-4 with my NFL picks against the spread this season.

Why the hell is Justin Bieber surrounded by New England Patriots players? Rob Gronkowski looks happy as hell (but when doesn’t he look happy as hell?).

Brian Hoyer to Remain Browns Starter…for now

FOX Sports reported this afternoon that the Cleveland Browns will keep Brian Hoyer as their starting quarterback for this Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

This comes as a surprise to many after Browns head coach Mike Pettine benched Hoyer in favor of rookie Johnny Manziel in their loss to Buffalo last week. Manziel moved the ball well and had a few moments that reminded us all of what he was able to accomplish in college.

Hoyer may have a short leash against the Colts. If he struggles in the first half, Manziel could see time. If he does appear, it is rumored that Cleveland will go with Manziel for their final three games.

This could be Hoyer’s last shot to make it in his hometown of Cleveland native.

2014 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

After dominating the previous week, I broke even at 7-7-1 last week. I had three close misses, but still feel like I made smart picks in those three close non-winners. I now sit at 90-81-4 with my NFL picks against the spread this season.

I do have to pat my back a bit by picking Oakland last week. I even mentioned that Latavius Murray would have a big game.

There are some awesome games lined up this week. There is only one double-digit point spread this week. I can’t wait to dive into a turkey, watch football, dive into turkey leftovers on Sunday and continue watching football.

Richard Sherman Mocks NFL During Fake Press Conference [VIDEO]

Sports Crush: Jen Hale

We’ve written a handful of ‘Sports Crush‘ posts since we launched America’s White Boy. We’ve spotlighted female MMA fighters, WWE Divas and female sports reporters like MLB Network’s Heidi Watney, ESPN’s Britt McHenry and NFL Network’s Erin Coscarelli. We decided to profile another female sports reporter, current FOX sports sideline reporter Jen Hale.

You can see Jen Hale every Sunday during NFL on FOX broadcasts as a sideline reporter and during New Orleans Pelicans telecasts on Fox Sports New Orleans.

She was a cheerleader at LSU and then went to Northwestern to earn her Master’s degree in broadcast journalism. She has a huge brain behind that smile.

I want to thank Walker for the email requesting her.

We are crushing on Jennifer Hale and once you look at our photo gallery, you will understand why. Continue reading →

2014 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The stars aligned last week and I went 9-4-1. I felt confident and knew I would do pretty well. I now sit at 83-74-3 with my NFL picks against the spread this season.

There are some potential blowouts on the schedule this week. I wish that wasn’t the case. I get no fun out of betting double-digit points spreads. I’d rather not root for a boring game.

NFL Suspends Adrian Peterson for Remainder of Season

It was announced today that Roger Goodell decided to throw the book at Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. The NFL ruled they will suspended Peterson without pay for the remainder of the 2014 NFL season. He will not be evaluated for reinstatement until after April 2015. Peterson is expected to appeal the suspension.

Yes, this situation could get even uglier.

ESPN’s Ed Werder said that there’s a possibility Peterson could play this weekend if the arbitrator sides with Peterson.

The NFL must abide by the rules laid out in the CBA…so Goodell must give away some of the power to an arbitrator. Will Peterson suit up this season?

2014 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I took a few chances last week and went 6-7. I could have went safe, but felt like there was some value in a few underdogs. I now sit at 74-70-2 against the spread in the NFL on the season.

I’m happy to report that there are only a couple double-digit point spreads this week. There were seven in the previous two week’s combined.

Did Justin Bieber Curse the Steelers?

Justin Bieber visited the Pittsburgh Steelers before last week’s 20-13 loss to the New York Jets. He attended a worship service and took pictures with Cam Heyward, Bruce Gradkowski and others.

Many fans of the black and yellow pointed the finger at the Biebs for their loss. I mean, if you lose to the Jets, you pretty much need some sort of supernatural stuff to blame, right?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback (and Team Edward member) took to the airwaves and defended the tween idol. He said people often stop by during worship and it’s usually not a big deal. He said Bieber was there was because the person leading the service was mentoring him. Considering the year he’s had, he needs a lot of mentoring.

2014 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

After getting roughed up in Week 8, I bounced back. I went 9-4 on the week and now sit at 68-63-2 against the spread on the season.

I received something last week that was even better than going 9-4. The return of ‘The Walking Buttfumble‘ Mark Sanchez into my life! I can’t wait to make Twitter jokes at his expense on Monday night. You can follow me on Twitter at @Sweetbob.

2014 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough week, guys. I tried to change up my betting style a bit and it didn’t work out. I was 5-9-1 on the week and now 59-59-2 against the spread on the season.

It might be time to jump off the bandwagon of some teams you’ve been riding this season. Also, keep an eye on the injury report. There are some key players currently questionable.
