2025 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread during the fourth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out pretty rough with the early games, but nearly caught up with the late games on Sunday. I split the Monday night games, so I came up a game short of .500.

This is the start of the bye weeks, so we have four teams on bye. We also have a lame early-Sunday game in London, which have largely been dull outings.

2025 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week 4 of the college football season, I went 11-13-1 against the spread.

This weekend is unofficially the start of many teams’ conference schedules. We have some big, marquee games with Alabama traveling to Georgia, Oregon traveling to Penn State. These games will be worth tuning into on Saturday.

2025 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread during the third week of the 2025 NFL season.

There were some lopsided wins last week, and I was on the losing end on almost all of those games. I did work my way back for some underdog picks.

After the fourth week is when I tend to pivot on some teams. I have already done that with a couple teams just based off injuries. I think teams like the Rams and Colts are destined to be moved up by rankings. This week’s game will prove a lot about both of those teams. The Buccaneers have a shot to make a big jump as well.

Who will win last year’s playoff rematch between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs?

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #108 – Jesse Barfield & more

We had some big names in this week of returns. This video contains ten autograph successes.

We got someone who appears in was one of the best outfielders of the 1980s, and a member of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Famer, Jesse Barfield. He had some fantastic years as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees.

Another notable return were Jeff Kunkel, who was selected #3 overall in the 1983 MLB Amateur Draft, and Jim Shellenback, which completes a 1969 Topps dual rookie with Elvio Jimenez I purchased a few weeks ago.

We got seven other successful returns back, so please check out the video below.

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 – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week 3 of the college football season, I went 13-12 against the spread.

Most teams are starting their conference schedule this week, so betting lines will become a lot closer. We don’t see many 40-point betting lines after this week. We still have some gimme games with Sam Houston State traveling to Austin to face Texas.

Can the Clemson Tigers cover at home against the Syracuse Orange?

2025 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread during the second week of the 2025 NFL season.

I could have easily went 13-3 had I not pivoted so early on two of my picks. I usually hold steady, barring injuries, with my own preseason rankings. I tend to view a season in four parts, so I alter my rankings after a team’s fourth game.

We have a huge game on Monday Night Football. The Lions and Ravens meet, which has a shot to be a Super Bowl preview.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #106 – Steve Tasker & more

We had some big names in this week of returns. This video contains twelve autograph successes.

We got someone who appears in many Prow Bowls and could be the great special teams players of all time, Steve Tasker. He played nearly his entire career in Buffalo, and has worked broadcasting games since retiring.

Another notable return was former Houston Oiler QB Dan Pastorini. He isn’t a consistent TTMer, so it was a nice surprise when these arrived in my mailbox.

We got ten more successful returns back, so please check out the video below.

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 – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week 2 of the college football season, I went 13-11-1 against the spread.

We were spoiled by all the marquee games in Week 1, so the games since have left us a bit flat. We do have some solid SEC match-ups this week and Texas A&M vs Notre Dame is a nice litmus test for both programs.

We handicap a few sleeper teams this week. I think South Florida could string together some wins and make their ‘upset win’ over Florida not look so bad for the Gators.

Will Tennessee take care of business at home against Georgia?

2025 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread during the first week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started the year ‘on mild’, but I like this week’s slate of games and betting lines.

We have some big games like the Eagles traveling to Kansas City to have a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs. Also, I think the Broncos at Colts game will be a nice litmus test game for both teams.

Any longshot underdogs covering this weekend?

2025 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

How did your fantasy draft hold up after Week 1? Did any of your late-round sleepers pay off?

There weren’t any new quarterback darlings in fantasy football after the opening week. We did get some possible post-hype sleepers like Daniel Jones play very well in his Colts debut.

There were some rookie wide receivers that made some noise right away. It appears that is the position we could see some new long-term fantasy studs, like Carolina’s Tetairoa McMillan.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals

2025 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

I started the year 13-12 against the spread.

This week’s games don’t have the caché as last week’s marquee match-ups. We have a lot of filler games and FBS vs. FCS teams to pad their win totals.

Texas are licking their wounds after falling to Ohio State. They have a gimme game this week when San Jose State travels to Austin.

Will Michigan freshman QB Bryce Underwood perform well against the Oklahoma Sooners?

2025 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 158-120-8 against the spread last season. It wasn’t my best year, as I just hovered around .500 most weeks, but did have a few huge weeks to make my final numbers look much better. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I have written a monster post that somewhat acts like miniature season previews for every team. I don’t expect to reach 4,000 words again this year, but you never know.
