2024 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

It was a back-and-forth weekend for me against the spread. I would yo-yo from a win to a loss. I wasn’t able to end the week in the black after a couple of parlays failed (thanks, Raiders).

The Commanders and Giants are two of the biggest surprises through the first five weeks. I would list the Broncos here, but I just can’t stomach watching Denver as their offense makes my teeth hurt.

Can the Bengals get an outright win (and cover) on the road against the Giants?

2024 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread in Week 4.

I had a rough start to my NFL bets as I was 2-8 after the early game session on Sunday. Thankfully, I nearly ran perfect with the remainder of the games to save my bankroll.

We have some fun games on the schedule with Baltimore at Cincinnati and Buffalo at Houston are the marquee games of the week. Those almost makes up for forcing a part of the country to sit through Las Vegas at Denver (ugh!).

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.

How will the rookie quarterbacks fare in their debuts?

Super Bowl 58 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 58 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular prop bets for Super Bowl 58 (or Super Bowl LVIII for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2024 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 2-2 against the spread during the Divisional playoff games.

Up to this point, we’ve had an entertaining slate of playoff of games. We haven’t seen many games that weren’t up for grabs deep into the fourth quarter of the games. I think we will see more of that this weekend.

The Lions are playing with house money right now and all the pressure is on the 49ers on Sunday. Can Brock Purdy handle this big of a moment?

Can Jason Kelce continue to be the best person alive?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship game against the spread and pick over/under point totals in those contests.

2024 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I whiffed pretty bad during Wild Card Weekend. I went favorite-heavy, but the underdogs had a big weekend. The weather played a huge factor in many of the over/under point totals as well.

We have two double-digit point spreads on Saturday, which isn’t very common. We usually see about half of the games on Wild Card Weekend with touchdown (and over) point spreads, but covering double-digit spreads this deep into the postseason is very hard…but I am not betting against both of them.

Can the Detroit Lions continue their playoff run?

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 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-2 against the spread during Week 14.

It was a solid week overall, but I got my picks up super late. The lines are well-adjusted at that point and it’s hard to get an edge up on them, so it was a nice surprise.

This week, there are a ton of tight point spreads. A lot of home favorite are at -3 and below. These games are notorious for being coinflips, so it could be a tricky week.

We have a full slate of games with sixteen games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

2023 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread during Week 12.

I didn’t go a perfect 3-0 on Thanksgiving, but got myself out to a nice 2-1 start. The favorites had a big week with twelve of the sixteen games being covered by the favorites. I feel this week will be favorite-heavy as well, but we shall see.

The Eagles have had a murderer’s row of opponents of late. I’m interested in seeing if they come into their game against the Niners a big banged up after facing the Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills over their last three games.

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 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread in Week 10.

Injuries are ballooning point spreads and we are seeing more double-digit advantages again this week. It’s becoming the normal as we near Thanksgiving. The bad teams are already looking at the upcoming draft class. I just assume teams like the Giants will see double-digit spreads (or near it), the rest of the season.

Will the change in play-calling duties help the Bills and Panthers this week?

Can QB Joshua Dobbs continue his hot streak for the Vikings?
