2022 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread last week.

I need a big week after back-to-back 7-6-1 weeks. I’ve traditionally been very strong on Thanksgiving, but we will see. One of these years I’ll go back and figure out my Thanksgiving record. I’m writing this up late-Wednesday night, so there isn’t time to do that this year.

We are starting to see more double-digit point spreads, which happens more and more from late-November through the end of the season.

Can the Chiefs cover a 15-point spread over the Rams?

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedWe finally don’t have to deal with any byes this week. You shouldn’t have to deal with holes in your lineup, unless you have a recently-injured player like TE Kyle Pitts or WR Wan’Dale Robinson.

You will have an awkward issue of having three games on Thursday. There are some injury question marks that play on Sunday, so should you roll the dice or play it safe by playing your backup that plays on Thanksgiving?

Now that the Niners offense is healthy, is QB Jimmy Garoppolo a must-start going forward?

Should you sit Packers QB Aaron Rodgers against the Eagles?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 12 of the 2022 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Jimmy Garoppolo of San Francisco 49ers.

2022 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread last week.

It was a nice rebound after the previous week’s implosion. It wasn’t a fantastic outcome, but I was glad to come out (slightly) ahead again.

We don’t have an early European game this week, but we will see a Monday night game in Mexico. I can deal with that much better than the usual garbage we see in those games overseas.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

We are back to only four teams on bye this week, but the teams are loaded with normal flex options and solid quarterbacks.

The Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, New York Jets and the Baltimore Ravens are all out.

Every bye team, except the Jets, welcome this bye week. They are dealing with injuries to key players. It’s another week for QB Mac Jones and the Ravens backfield to fully heal up.

How will the Bears offense fare against the Detroit Lions?

2022 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Lamar Jackson dotted funnyI went 7-9 against the spread last week.

I’ve been hovering around .500 nearly every week this season. I need a big week to break away. I feel pretty solid about my picks this week.

We have two less games on the schedule due to bye weeks. There are a lot of home underdogs this week, are you going to take the bait?

It looks like we could see a couple starting quarterbacks return this week. Patriots QB Mac Jones and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott have a shot to suit up this weekend. Also, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has a small chance of playing as well.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 6

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedBye weeks are back!

The Detroit Lions, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders and the Houston Texans all have the week off.

Those teams don’t have the best records, but they have some fantasy studs on their teams. You could be in a position to find a replacement for RB Derrick Henry, WR Davante Adams or TE T.J. Hockenson.

Is Seahawks QB Geno Smith a worthy streaming option against the Cardinals?

Which Dolphins running back should you start?

2022 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6-2 against the spread last week.

I was glad to see a winning record again after two bland weeks. A couple teams that I had ranking high, but fell on their faces in the first couple games, are finally playing up to their talent level. I expect the Raiders and Bengals will have some tempting point spreads the next couple weeks.

We have a couple games with big question marks at quarterback. The Patriots look to be starting rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the Cowboys are currently unsure if QB Dak Prescott will be healthy enough to suit this week.

How will the Bengals fare against the Baltimore Ravens?

2022 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

This week’s NFL betting picks was up later than I usually like due to attending an Alice Cooper concert on Tuesday and being in a Nyquil haze due to a lingering cough. It was a good time and I suggest seeing his show while he’s still out there.

There are a few surprise 2-0 teams against the spread right now. No one thought the New York Giants would be among that group, and the Detroit Lions occupy that space as well.

Can the Giants and Lions continue their hot betting streak?

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?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 155-129-6 against the spread last season. I hope this season will be a little less erratic with pandemic issues. We’ve had a good run of late, so let’s hope a new variant doesn’t pop up and screw up a bunch of games this Fall.

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 Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence fare in Year 2?

Can Tua Tagovailoa take a big leap and lead the Dolphins to a successful year?

2022 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 4-4 against the spread last week (and over/under picks).

Last week’s slate of playoff games will go down as one of the best playoff weekends in recent memory. All four games were competitive and each game got better. The finale of Bills/Chiefs was just epic. I really can’t put into words how damn great that game was, you just need to go out of your way to watch the fourth quarter.

The Bengals have a lot of swagger coming into this game. They are clearly playing with house money as no one expected them to be in this spot. You could say the same about the Niners. Will either of the underdogs win outright and earn a spot in the Super Bowl?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread and over/under point totals.

2021 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week. 

COVID-19 is running rampant in NFL locker rooms right now. I had to delay my betting picks by a day last week just due to the flood of names coming in. I had to delay it again this week due to games being pushed back to Tuesday night.

I fully expect some more game-changing names to land in COVID protocols by this weekend. I fear it will be like this until the Super Bowl.

Will the Buccaneers bounce-back from a shut-out loss?
