2020 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

This will be the weirdest college football season of all-time.

We have some of the teams starting now, some starting in a month and the rest delaying until early-2021 or completely until the next ‘football season.’ Let’s just hope the next couple weeks goes off without a huge outbreak and we can enjoy college football again.

There are a few must-watch ACC games this week. It’s strange to already have ACC conference games in early-September…but everything about this season will be weird.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 14 college football games (with betting lines) against the spread in Week 2 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 12th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The first week of the 2020 NFL regular season is here!

It’s been a crazy offseason with the pandemic hitting causing the cancellation of the preseason games. We are going into this season pretty blind, but we at least have some beat reporters and television networks speaking with coaches on a regular basis.

There was a huge shuffling of quarterbacks this offseason that saw Tom Brady (Tampa Bay), Philip Rivers (Indianapolis) and Cam Newton (New England) starting for new teams.

Can Tom Brady lead Tampa Bay to a win against the New Orleans Saints?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season.

2020 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Divisional playoff games.

Last week’s games weren’t as crazy as the Wild Card weekend, but they were still a fun watch. The outcomes made for two interesting rematches from earlier this season.

Can Packers QB Aaron Rodgers spoil the Niners playoff run in his return to his hometown area?

Can the Titans use RB Derrick Henry’s legs to win their third-straight upset win and make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 20 years?

Will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill pull a ‘Kurt Warner move’ and lead his team to the Super Bowl as a backup-turned-starting QB?

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

2020 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were fun to watch last week. There were two that went into overtime and the other two games didn’t lack suspense with a pair of upsets.

Will the home teams start the game a little rusty after a week off or will the rest be a big factor in the game?

Will the Titans try to choke the game clock again this week in hopes of keeping Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off the field?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round playoff game against the spread and over/under.

2020 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished the year 145-109-7 against the spread during the NFL regular season.

Since there aren’t many games in the playoffs, I also pick over/under point totals as well.

These four games are pretty close, so we aren’t seeing any double-digit point spreads like we’ve seen the last few Wild Card Weekends.

Can the Seahawks win as a favorite while on the road in Philly this weekend?

Can the Patriots bounce back from a bad loss against the Dolphins?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

2019 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread last week.

I delayed my weekly NFL betting picks by a few days due to Christmas and the fact that not every team out there have announced whether or not they will play their starters this week.

I also decided to not write a fantasy football article this week just due to how random Week 17 can be in fantasy. There are so many variables that can happen and if you’re behind by a lot in your championship game right now, it could be a rough road for a comeback.

There are a ton of games with importance this week, so it should be a rather competitive week. There are only a handful of games with nothing on the line.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

A few more playoff spots could be clinched this weekend. All of the potential playoff teams still have a lot to play for, so I don’t foresee any teams resting their starters.

There wasn’t a Thursday night game this week, but we do see our first Saturday games. There’s a couple of bangers on that day. The Bills/Patriots & Rams/Niners have playoff implications.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson clinch the MVP award with a strong performance against the Browns?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread last week.

The playoff picture is becoming clear now that we are just three weeks away from the end of the regular season. It appears that the NFC East is the weakest link in the NFL. The winner of the division may only have a record of 9-7, but that’s only if the Eagles or Cowboys win the rest of their games (which is unlikely).

Can the Patriots get back to winning or can the Bengals score the upset on Sunday?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 15 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NCAA Football – Conference Championship Betting Picks Against Spread

I 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 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

We have a full slate of games every week from this point forward. It’s just more opportunities for gamblers to try to break even or fall farther in the hole. I’m in the black for the year and I’m going to play it a bit conservative this week and not lay down any above average amounts. I dipped into my profits a bit on Black Friday.

There are a few marquee games this week with Baltimore facing Buffalo and Kansas City traveling to New England. The outcomes of both of those games will definitely have an effect on the AFC playoff race.

Can the 49ers keep the game close against the Saints?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 14 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I 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 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I had a streak of three-straight perfect Thanksgivings until it was broken last year. I feel pretty good about my Turkey Day picks this year.

I wanted to get my NFL picks out a little earlier than normal since there are three Thursday games this week…and I need to get an early start on my college football picks too.

Can the Niners stop Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 13 of the 2019 NFL season.
