2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We saw some head-scratching performances last week. Who would have thought Jets backup QB Mike White would put up Madden-like numbers against the Bengals?

The Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team are all out on bye this week.

There were a few major injuries last week that could have affected your fantasy team. You might be looking to replace Titans RB Derrick Henry or Raiders WR Henry Ruggs going forward.

Will Titans RB Adrian Peterson be worth a waive wire pickup?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 9 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 17-8 against the spread last week.

I had my best betting week of the college football season. I started the season with a couple rough-to-average weeks, but have been racking up wins more down the stretch.

The Big Ten has some big games this week. Michigan at Michigan State, Penn State at Ohio State and Iowa at Wisconsin are all must-watch games.

I’m keeping an eye on Florida State at Clemson. It’s a must-win for Clemson as they’re struggling right now. I think Florida State has a shot at the upset.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 30th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

After going .500 in the early Sunday games, I ran the table the rest of the day.

We nearly have a full schedule of games with only two teams on bye. We also have a few double-digit point spreads (again) this week. We will be seeing more and more of those going forward. I’m curious to see if we break an all-time record for them due to the new 17-game season.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes bounce-back from a rough week and look like his old self against the Giants on Monday Night Football?

Can the Detroit Lions get their first win?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 8

We survived a week with a stacked list of players out on bye. It should be much easier this week.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens are the only two teams on bye this week. This could be a rough week if you have QB Lamar Jackson, but you should be able to find adequate replacements for the other guys.

There are a few games that have big talent discrepancies. The Bengals, Rams and Bills all face bottom-feeding teams this week.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread last week.

I had another rough stretch during the early games on Saturday, but the Pac-12 pulled me above .500 and above.

Iowa had the worst defeat of the week when they were smoked by Purdue at home. It was surprising and few really had that one which would have been a huge moneyline win.

There aren’t any championship-altering games this week. We have some rivalry games like USC vs Notre Dame, which should be a fun watch.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 23rd, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread in Week 6.

I had a rough start with my noon game picks, but was perfect in the afternoon slate of games. I want to thank the Cowboys for scoring a touchdown in overtime instead of just trying to get a field goal.

There are only 13 games on the schedule due to six teams being out on bye.

There are three games with double-digit point spreads. Will any of the favorites cover the large spreads?

How will Seattle QB Geno Smith fare in his second start with the team?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 7

There is a stacked list of teams on bye this week.

The Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers and the Jacksonville Jaguars are all on bye this week.

You could have multiple spots that need filled this week since the bye teams are loaded with automatic-start talents. We give a few suggestions on streaming options.

Can Cardinals QB Kyler Murray racked up a monster fantasy week against the Texans on Sunday?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

2021-22 College Basketball – All-Name Team

We lost a few players on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team (I wish the best of luck in the future to guys like Goodnews Kpegeol). We have a lot of returning faces due to the NCAA giving another year of eligibility to athletes due to the pandemic, but we do have a decent amount of new names on this year’s list.

We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is strong and is a better version of last year’s All-Name Team.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so I am often jealous of people with unique names. The most unique thing about my name is that I was not born ‘Robert Roberts’, Bobby is my given name. I don’t know too many grown men named Bobby.

This list consists of names that we wished he had and ones we find humorous. Enjoy!

2021 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

My bets were looking great…but then Oklahoma replaced QB Spencer Rattler with Caleb Williams. and that was a turning point. How the hell did Texas lose that game?

Kentucky has a huge ‘prove it’ game against Georgia. Both teams are undefeated, but the Wildcats are far less respected. Can Kentucky surprise everyone and keep it close against Georgia?

2021 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

The bye weeks have started and we will only have fourteen games on the schedule. It feels like a fuller slate of games since we have a London game and an important game on Monday Night Football.

We saw a few potential season-shifting injuries last week. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson injured a finger on his throwing hand and will be out until December. The Giants also have injury concerns with QB Daniel Jones, who is currently sitting in concussion-protocol.

Can the Steelers cover against the Geno Smith-led Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 6

Are you ready for the start of the dreaded bye weeks?

The Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers all have the week off. Luckily, these teams aren’t full of fantasy football studs.

Even though there aren’t a ton of automatic starts on those teams, you may need to fill a flex spot or a defense this week. We give a few suggestions on streaming options.

Which Dallas Cowboys players are worth a start against the Patriots on Sunday?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 10-3 after the early games, but the Pac-12 games did me dirty.

There are some big Big Ten games this week. We will know if Penn State and Maryland are contenders after this week.

Can Notre Dame rebound from their home loss to Cincinnati last week?

Can Texas win the Red River Showdown?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 6 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 9th, 2021).
