2020 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10-1 against the spread last week.

If you’ve been going hard on underdog moneylines in the Big Ten this season, you probably have enough for a gold boat right now. I think the point spreads have corrected quite a bit since teams like Penn State and Michigan are seeing single-digit point spreads now.

I didn’t notice any glaring point spread miscues in the Pac 12 last week. I think bettors handicapped those teams pretty well. I think they are still a little light on Washington State, but we will see after this week’s game against Oregon.

The marquee game this week is Wisconsin at Michigan. Can the Wolverines avoid starting the year 1-3?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 14th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Kirk Cousins dottedI went 8-6 against the spread last week.

It doesn’t appear that there are any games in jeopardy of being canceled due to COVID-19. There are handful of cases in the NFL, but they’ve been isolated so far. With daily cases increasing at an alarming rate, it wouldn’t surprise me if we see a few games canceled in the coming weeks.

One interesting game this week is a face-off of rookie quarterbacks when the Los Angeles Chargers travel to the Miami Dolphins.

Which rookie QB will leave with the win, Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season.

Tips To Protect Yourself During Sports Activities

Sports activities are important to be a part of for fitness, but when it comes to looking after yourself, it’s critical that you’re preventing any injuries from occurring. With that being said, here are some tips to protect yourself during sports activities.

Wear Protective Gear

We’re always told as children to wear a helmet when cycling, and so we take that awareness and knowledge as we get older. Wearing protective headgear and body gear is important to keep your body protected, especially as we get older. Sometimes, we’re not as nimble on our feet, and that can result in an accident happening. When it does happen, you’d rather have that protection in place to minimize the impact that it has on your body. For those cases where you’re not so fortunate, and perhaps you were injured by someone else, it’s worth exploring what case you might have when it comes to seeking legal help. For example, anyone who gets injured whilst on a bike may want to speak to a bike accident lawyer to explore the likelihood of getting compensation for any injuries that may have occurred. Taking safety seriously is important, and protective gear can ensure you reduce any impact of serious injuries to your body.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

The Big Ten has been weird so far. We’ve had teams like Indiana, Rutgers and Michigan State score victories over teams we expected to sail through those games. Maybe those teams have improved greatly since last season, but I doubt we will see Rutgers among the top-tier of teams in the conference at year’s end. Ohio State could be the best team in the conference by a large margin.

The marquee games this week are Florida vs Georgia (in Jacksonville) and Clemson at Notre Dame.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 7th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

daniel jones dottedI went 7-7 against the spread last week.

I was able to make a comeback last week after having a rough stretch in the early games, but nearly ran the table the rest of Sunday.

There are some COVID-19 issues on the Ravens right now, but they think it’s under control. They added seven to the COVID-19 reserve list. They haven’t had any positive tests since.

A few teams are dealing with quarterback injuries and we will see two new faces starting this week for the Cowboys and Jaguars.

Increasing Your Chances Of Big Returns When Putting Your Money On Sports

When it comes to the world of sports, there are many different ways in which we can experience the thrill. We can obviously enjoy the thrill of competing against another – whether it’s in full-blown contact or non-contact sporting events. We can also feel the buzz of watching our friends or our favorite professional team. Seeing the drama unfold after a marvelous narrative is written can be something like no other. 

Putting some money on an event is also something that makes people feel a certain way. Obviously, it’s not for everyone and can even be a little dangerous for those without a sense of self-control, but it’s a great way of making sporting events more entertaining. People even like to do so if they have no particular favoring towards a team. The potential of winning money adds an extra dimension to sport.

6 Outdoor Activities That Do Not Require Close Contact

Even though the sports industry took a hit when the pandemic began, things are gradually getting back to normal. Some of the world’s most famous football leagues, such as the British Premier League, have resumed for fans all over the world. But there are still concerns about contact during these games, which has led to testing and the inability for spectators to enjoy the games in person. Fortunately, some sports do not require that much contact to play. Are you looking to get back into sports but are worried about social distancing? Here are some safe games you can engage in:

1. Tennis

Now more than ever, you can appreciate the distance between players on the tennis court. Also, since there are at least two players at a time, there is enough room for movement and ventilation. The likelihood of contracting an infection is little to none. The only thing that may be a problem is how the balls will be handled. However, once you make a conscious effort not to touch your face and wash your hands after a game, you should be fine.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 12-13 against the spread last week.

I’ve been struggling the last three weeks with my college football picks. I thought the addition of Big Ten games to the schedule would fix my string of bad luck, but nope! Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa all shit the bed in their debuts.

I was impressed by a few Big Ten players last week. Michigan QB Joe Milton didn’t need to showcase much in their win over Minnesota, but he could do some damage with his size and athleticism. I was having Cam Newton flashbacks last weekend.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (October 31st, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week.

There were a ton of games that came down to the final play of the game to ruin covers. The last-second Lions win and a late missed extra-point in the Browns/Bengals game ruined a lot of bets.

There currently aren’t any games in jeopardy due to COVID-19 positive tests right now. It’s only Wednesday, so things could change since positivity rates have increased all around the country.

Will the Steelers fare well against QB Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens?
