2025 NCAA Football – College Football Playoff – 2nd Round

I went 3-1 against the spread in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

The first-round of the College Football Playoff had a pair of fun outings, and two games that were out-of-hand against non-Power Four teams. We won’t have those kind of talent disparities going forward, since all eight teams are battle-tested.

Can the Big Ten have a big showing in the second round?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick every college football game in the second round of the College Football Playoff the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (December 31st & January 1st).

2025 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 9-5-1 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

We have three games on Christmas Day this year. The NFL is putting the screws to the NBA, who once dominated the holiday.

I am fighting my way back to avoid my first losing season in all the years I’ve been posting my picks against the spread. Last week’s games helps close the deficit to just three games. That can easily be made up with two more of the regular season and the playoffs left.

We have a pair of new third-string quarterbacks taking the ball this week. The Commanders and Chiefs will both have new faces under center.

Can the Bears clinch the NFC North?

We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #130 – Larry Walker

Leave a reply

We have an epic group of players in this week of through the mail autograph returns. This video contains 11 autograph successes.

We got Baseball Hall of Famer Larry Walker. He got in with his tenth ballot, which was long overdue. He was a great hitter, but many dinged him for playing his prime in the thin air of Colorado.

Other notable returns were Hall of Fame golfer Fred Couples and former San Francisco Giants pitcher Shawn Estes.

We post these every Wednesday & Sunday on our YouTube channel, so if ‘through the mail autographs’ are something you’re interested in, please subscribe to our YouTube channel.

2025 NCAA Football – College Football Playoff – 1st Round

Leave a reply

I usually completely ignore all the bowl games, because it doesn’t work with a weekly pick format. I have enjoyed the College Football Playoff and it works with what I do.

We have some fun match-ups in FBS conference championship games. I personally can’t wait to watch Indiana and Ohio State face off in Indianapolis. I grew up in Indiana and spent nearly a decade in Columbus, Ohio.

Can either of these non-Power Four teams upset their opponent in the first round?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick every college football game in the first round of the College Football Playoff the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (December 19th & 20th, 2025).

2025 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 6-9 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I wasn’t able to pick the Thursday night game, so I only had 15 picks last week.

I need some big weeks to climb back and avoid my first-ever below .500 season since I started doing this many years ago.

We have some changes at quarterback this week, so there are a few tough games to handicap on the schedule.

I went 6-8 in Week 14 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I was unable to post my Thursday Night Football pick in time for the game.

We have some strange teams battling for their playoff lives right now. The Chiefs, Ravens and Bills could see their playoff hopes take a huge dive with losses this week. Those teams are usually on cruise control for their division crown, or at least have a lead to do so.

2025 NCAA Football – Conference Championship Betting Picks vs Spread

Due to server maintenance, I was unable to post my football betting picks last week.

I assume most of the country have Georgia facing Alabama as their most anticipated game this week.

We’ve added some FCS betting picks in this week’s picks against the spread.

2025 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Due to some server maintenance issues, I missed my first week of football picks in over a decade. I hope you guys had a profitable Thanksgiving week.

I think there is some value in this week’s NFL betting lines. We have a few hot teams that aren’t getting much respect. The Bears are on fire, but are nearly a touchdown underdog against the Packers.

There are some good teams facing uphill battles to earn a playoff spot. Can the 6-6 Kansas City Chiefs make a run?

In week 12 of the college football season, I went 12-13 against the spread.

2025 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-2 against the spread during the tenth week of the 2025 NFL season.

The betting lines were extremely close to the actual outcomes last week. We will start to see this more as sportsbooks and bettors are dialing in on teams.

We saw some injuries at quarterback the last few weeks, The Falcons lost QB Michael Penix for the year, and Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers broke his wrist. On the flipside, the Giants will get rookie QB Jaxson Dart back from concussion.
