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?

2020 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

As of Wednesday night, it looks like all these games are set to be played at their scheduled time. We haven’t seen as many positive COVID-19 tests this week, but considering the entire country has seen a sharp increase, we could see some before Sunday’s slate of games.

The marquee game this week appears to be the Pittsburgh Steelers versus Tennessee Titans contest. The Titans have had a string of marquee games and they’ve came out on top in all of them so far. Can they hold off Pittsburgh on Sunday?

Can Jimmy Garoppolo lead the Niners to a cover in New England?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-12 against the spread last week.

Colleges are still struggling with COVID-19 outbreaks and a few games have already been cancelled/postponed from this weekend’s slate. As of Friday, all of the games I’ve picked are still scheduled to be played, but with positive numbers shooting up, it could still change.

The biggest game this weekend is Georgia at Alabama. It’s a shame that the Tide should be without head coach due to a positive COVID-19 test since this game will play such a huge factor in the SEC landscape.

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?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I didn’t have a good outcome against the spread last week.

I finished 11-14, by far the worst week I’ve had in a couple years. I want to chalk it up to having to pick 25 games from maybe 30 possible games. I usually pick the best 25 games out of maybe 50+ games on a full normal week. I can omit some games that are a bit too close to call. I don’t have that luxury this season, but that should change once some of the other conferences start to play later this Fall.

The marquee game of the week is Miami (FL) at Clemson. Can the Hurricanes upset the #1-ranked Tigers?

2020 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread last week.

Last week, we had one cancelled game due to COVID-19 and it was rescheduled. The later these COVID-19 cancellations happen, the harder it will be to find a proper date to reschedule the game.

We aren’t free from more potential cancelled games this week. There are two games that are currently ‘off the board’ as of late Wednesday night. If those games aren’t cancelled, I will have picks up once the lines are available.

Can Chargers rookie QB Justin Herbert cover against the spread on Monday Night Football?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-10-1 with my college football picks last week.

The SEC kicked off last week and there were some teams that separated themselves from the pack. Mississippi State upset LSU in their debut. MSU head coach Mike Leach made the rest of the SEC aware that his air raid offense can do some damage in the conference.

The marquee game of the week is Auburn versus Georgia. The winner could jump into the top-three in the rankings.

2020 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

This will be the last week with a full slate of sixteen games (unless there’s a COVID-19 cancellation) for a couple months.

We are starting to get a good feel for which teams are playoff-caliber and which ones are in for a long season. The point spreads are a little tighter this week. It could be time to jump off the bandwagon if point spreads start to creep into the double-digits.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bounce-back from a rough passing outing against the Chiefs?

2020 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get some much-needed information to become more informed bettors. The issue this week comes from all the injuries that occurred to important players. There are a lot more unknowns than I was expecting this week.

There are a few players out there that could be game-time decisions this week. Some reports say that Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo could play on Sunday. Keep an eye on injury reports this week for updates.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 with my college football picks last week.

We still don’t have a full slate of potential games this week, but we do see some Big 12 teams joining the ACC and small conference teams.

Notre Dame failed to cover last week against Duke. The Irish face South Florida on Saturday and face an even larger point spread. Can they bounce back and beat South Florida by 26 points?

Not all the games have betting lines as of this writing, but we did find 18 games with betting lines.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 18 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 19th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread last week.

I really don’t want to go through picking NFL games against the spread in Week 1 without a single preseason game ever again. It was a tall task and I’ll take the 11-5 record as a personal victory.

Do you guys think home teams have much of an advantage this season? There are limited fans and the whole situation is weird for both teams. The travel aspect is a huge factor though. I am curious to see the final home records at the end of the year to see how it all shakes out.

Can Jacksonville QB Gardner Minshew III lead the Jaguars to back-to-back covers against AFC South teams?
