2021 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday, but was was slaughtered with my afternoon and late night picks.

We are slowly getting into early days of in-conference games. We will get more historical data, which usually means tougher point spreads.

Wisconsin-transfer QB Jack Coan (now at Notre Dame) will start against his former team this weekend. Will the Badgers cover in Soldier Field?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

I started the season with a rather uneventful 12-13 record. A few of my risks clearly didn’t pay off in Week 1. 

It was a fun week of football, even if I had a rough week against the spread. There were some nice upsets (Montana def. Washington) and there were a few quarterback prospects who fell on their face (I’m looking at you, Sam Howell).

There were a ton of transfers this offseason and a few really came up big with their new teams. Notre Dame QB Jack Coan was a real treat to watch.

2021 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year, but due to all the knowns about the college football season at this point last year, we didn’t compile a list. We are happy to bring this back this year and debut some new names.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so of all the people who can write a post poking fun at names, it’s me. I’m always asked if my real name is Robert Roberts (it’s not) or if my name is fake (it’s not).

Here is the 2021-22 college football All-Name team.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-11 against the spread last week.

I can’t remember the last time that all of my 25 weekly game picks were actually played. There have been so many cancellations every single week due to COVID-19. It could really mess with some of the Big Ten teams since they made a policy that the games wouldn’t be made up.

There aren’t a ton of top-tier marquee games this week, so I’m going to list Liberty vs Coastal Carolina as the best of the week. I want to give props to those small schools who challenged larger programs during this strange season. The Liberty/Coastal Carolina game was cancelled. It appears that BYU will now step in and play Coastal Carolina.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 11-12 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to see more potential college football games on the schedule. It was tough gathering 25 games to pick when there were barely 25 games on the schedule.

Big Ten and Mountain West teams are making their season debuts this week. This will add a dozen games to the schedule with a few other conferences due to start in the coming weeks.

Can Ohio State start to receive first-place votes in the polls with a big win against Nebraska?

2019 NCAA Football – Conference Championship Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 15 NCAA Clemson Tigers cheerleadersI went 11-14 against the spread last week. I really struggled with my Friday game picks. I actually went 1-6 on that day. I bounced back on Saturday, but that was too large of a hole to climb out. 

There are only ten games on the docket this week. We have conference championship games, which should be fun to watch and usually very hard to predict. You could end up with some possible College Playoff teams that overlook their games this week and get upset.

We have a possible play-in game scenario in the SEC Championship game. Both teams are in the top-four and the winner will most definitely make the Playoff field of four.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football games against the spread in Week 15 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (December 7th, 2019).

2019 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 14 NCAA Virginia Tech Hokies cheerleadersI went 16-9 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

This is the last week with a full slate of college football games. Next week is full of conference championship games and the yearly Army/Navy game.

Rivalry games can be tough to handicap. You can have all the data in the world, but sometimes a bad team can muster up enough big plays to defeat their hated rivals. Those are impossible to predict, but that’s the fun of rivalry week.

Can Ohio State chock up another win against the team up north?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 14 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 30th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 9 NCAA Arkansas Razorbacks cheerleadersI went 14-11 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are still waiting on that ‘Bizarro Betting Weekend’ we seem to get every year. It’s usually when the leaves start to change and we get a ton of upsets. Some of those upsets can be blamed on trap games or letdowns, but it hasn’t happened yet. Could it be this weekend?

There are a few big marquee games this weekend. Ohio State vs Wisconsin, Notre Dame vs Michigan and Auburn vs LSU are the three that I’ll definitely be watching on Saturday. 

Which games will you be watching on Saturday?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019 College Football Picks Against the Spread Week 8 NCAA LSU Tigers cheerleadersI went 15-9-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are really in the heart of the conference schedules and we are seeing some big rivalry games pop up every weekend. The Penn State/Michigan game has a little extra importance this year since Michigan looks rather vulnerable.

There’s usually a really weird betting week that happens this time of the year. It seems like some weird things happen when seasons start to change and we get a slate of games full of upsets.

Will this be the Bizarro betting weekend?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019-College-Football-Picks-Against-the-Spread-Week-3-NCAA-Iowa-Hawkeyes-cheerleadersI started off strong this year and but just went 12-12-1 against the spread last week.

The key to staying hot while betting college football game is to not get too bogged down on the last week’s games. It’s important to stick with your own personal rankings and know when to bail on a team. Well, after the first couple weeks of the season, it is about time to think about jumping off a bandwagon. There won’t be much value on teams that are perceived to be unbeatable. You may have another week or two to ride them before the value disappears.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 12-12-1 against the spread (again) last week. I’m over .500 on the year, but I’ve had a ton of even stevens weeks this year.

There are some big 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.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (November, 17th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
