2022 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 12-12-1 against the spread during Week 1 of the college football season.

I felt good about my picks, but got unlucky when a few 50/50 balls didn’t go my way and it affected a couple scores. I feel that my personal preseason rankings was fairly accurate, but they had to be adjusted after Week 1.

Texas better hope that my photo streak ends, because the last few college football players I featured in the cover photo have failed to cover against the spread. I feel pretty good that Quinn Ewers can keep it relatively close against Alabama.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 2 of the 2022-23 NCAA Football season (September 10th, 2022).

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?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season.

Super Bowl 56 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 56 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 55 (or Super Bowl LV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

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.

2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-6 against the spread last week (and over/under picks).

We have a slate of four games this weekend and the point spreads predict that all four games should be pretty close, as all of them are under a touchdown.

The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers had first-round byes and come into this week healthier. It looks like they could get some key players back from long absences. The biggest name would be Titans RB Derrick Henry, who led the league in rushing when he went down with a foot injury.

Can the Cincinnati Bengals upset the Titans?

We pick every NFL Divisional Playoff game against the spread and over/under point totals.

2022 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

We have a slate of six games this weekend and most are rematches from earlier meetings this season. I would preach caution when gleaning too much information from previous meetings, especially those that took place back in October or November.

There’s only one double-digit point spread this week, which is a far cry from some of recent Wild Card Weekends. The table is set for some close games this weekend.

Can the Chiefs cover the double-digit point spread over the Steelers?

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

2021 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-9-2 against the spread last week.

Due to kidney stone issues, I had to forego my weekly fantasy football sit/start content. If you have any specific sit/start questions, feel free to send an email to BobbyMcRib@gmail.com.

I usually write around 3,000 words in my weekly NFL betting picks column, but this week will be abbreviated due to my overall discomfort.

The final week of the NFL season is always a gamble as teams play coy about the playing status of their key players.

Which team will win home-field advantage in the AFC, Titans or Chiefs?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 18 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is still running roughshod through the NFL. The list of players in COVID protocol keeps growing every single day. Luckily, asymptomatic players should be able to get off the list faster than in previous weeks due to new guidelines.

I would suggest placing your bets on Saturday night to try to avoid surprises. I was lucky last week and my bets weren’t destroyed by new COVID cases. Last week, I placed my bets Wednesday evening and I wouldn’t advise that unless you want to lock in an advantageous point spread.

Can the Los Angeles Rams cover on the road against Baltimore?

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?

2021 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-1 against the spread last week.

As of Wednesday evening, there are 90 NFL players on the COVID list. There are many key players that will miss this weekend’s games. I actually had a large chunk of this written on Tuesday, but as more and more names were placed on the list, I decided to wait an extra day to post my NFL betting picks. This could become the norm due to the variant’s infection rate.

Can the Patriots stop the Colts running game on Saturday?

2021 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

I only had one loss after the early games on Sunday, but the late games really destroyed my hopes of a huge week. I did hit a nice Lions moneyline play which kept me in the black this weekend.

The primetime games on Sunday and Monday nights are great. The Bills/Bucs and Rams/Cardinals games will have playoff implications.

Can the Washington Football Team win their fifth game in-a-row and cover against the Cowboys?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 14 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-11-2 against the spread last week.

It’s Conference Championship Week! I would have named it that but there is one non-conference title games this week. USC at California is the lone game with only bragging rights on the line.

We have seen some prominent head coaches in college football change jobs this week. There’s a chance that a handful of head coaches in this week’s games will be coaching other teams next season.

Can Michigan take care of Iowa and punch their ticket into the College Football Playoff?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football game against the spread in Week 14 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (December 4th, 2021).
