2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

We have a whopping six teams on bye this week.

The Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have the week off. There are a few fantasy studs in that group that will be hard to replace.

You could be a tough position if you’re missing a few of your starters while on bye. You may need to trust a player you’ve never played before, so do your research and pay attention to the injury reports during the week.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I really need to have back-to-back solid weeks with my college football picks. I’ll have a great week that is followed by one that’s around .500. I feel pretty good about my picks this week and to get back on track.

There are a handful of marquee games this weekend. Georgia at Florida might be the most relevant in the big picture when it comes to the College Football Playoff. I would even say that SMU at Memphis could even be seen as being more relevant as SMU is still undefeated this late into the year.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 2nd, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 10-5 against the spread with my picks last week.

I lost the Thursday game last week, but killed it in the early games on Sunday. I felt I made some smart picks in a week that saw a lot of close calls near the points spread.

I wanted to wait until Wednesday night to make my picks to the NFL trade deadline ending earlier this week. There weren’t any big trades and the teams are all roughly the same. I think the biggest trade may have been when the Dolphins traded RB Kenyan Drake to the Cardinals for a low draft pick…so it was a bland deadline.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We are back to having four teams on bye this week. We will be without the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and the Atlanta Falcons players.

There are a number of backup quarterbacks still starting this week. We will see one more now that the Broncos will sit Joe Flacco in favor of Brandon Allen. I would have mentioned the Bengals benching Andy Dalton for rookie Ryan Finley, but they are on bye this week.

Are the Titans a potential playoff contender with Ryan Tannehill under center?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are still waiting on that ‘Bizarro Betting Weekend’ we seem to get every year. It’s usually when the leaves start to change and we get a ton of upsets. Some of those upsets can be blamed on trap games or letdowns, but it hasn’t happened yet. Could it be this weekend?

There are a few big marquee games this weekend. Ohio State vs Wisconsin, Notre Dame vs Michigan and Auburn vs LSU are the three that I’ll definitely be watching on Saturday.

Which games will you be watching on Saturday?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 26th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 7-7 against the spread with my picks last week.

I struggled during the early games on Sunday, but did hit the rare trifecta of Primetime games (Thursday, Sunday and Monday). I needed those games to break even for the week.

The NFL trade deadline is October 29th. There have been a few trades that happened this week and chances are that a couple may still happen before this week’s slate of games. Keep an eye on the transactions and it could be smart to try and bet later in the week to avoid any possible blockbuster trades. My gut thinks the trades may be done for the week and next week will be the week where trades could screw up any early week bets.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 8 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 8

The Dallas Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens are the only two teams that are out on bye this week.

There have been four teams on bye the last couple weeks, but most of those teams weren’t filled with top fantasy players. Unfortunately, even though there’s only two teams out this week, those teams are stacked with top fantasy players and could really hurt some lineups pretty hard.

2019-20 College Basketball – All-Name Team

Many names on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team were lost to graduation and the NBA. There’s always some one-and-done players, but we lost some all-timers like Tacko Fall and Bol Bol. This is more like a rebuilding year, but there are a handful of great new names that head up this year’s All-Name Team.

We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is solid and right up there with 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!

2019 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-9-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are really in the heart of the conference schedules and we are seeing some big rivalry games pop up every weekend. The Penn State/Michigan game has a little extra importance this year since Michigan looks rather vulnerable.

There’s usually a really weird betting week that happens this time of the year. It seems like some weird things happen when seasons start to change and we get a slate of games full of upsets.

Will this be the Bizarro betting weekend?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 19th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 8-6 against the spread with my picks last week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are on byes this week. There are 14 NFL games on the betting schedule in Week 7.

There are still only two unbeaten teams left in the NFL. The Patriots and 49ers put their records on the line this week. As far as the winless teams go, one was eliminated last week when the Redskins by the Dolphins.We are now just left with the Dolphins and Bengals.

Will either winless team get their first dub this week?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 7

The Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers are out on bye this week.

The teams on bye aren’t filled with a ton of must-start players in fantasy, but you could have a flex spot open, or at most, you may need a wide receiver or two.

Now that we have a good chunk of games under our belt, there’s more and more information out there to help you make better, more informed decisions to build your lineups.

How will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill fare in his first start?
