2019 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I am really due for a big week as I’ve hovered around .500 for a few weeks in a row.

Their are two big games this weekend. Notre Dame hosts USC and Oklahoma faces Texas in the Cotton Bowl. You could even add Penn State at Iowa or Michigan State Wisconsin to the list, but I don’t see Michigan State as a potential Big Ten contender.

Will any of the top teams fall to an upset this weekend?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 7 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 12th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 7-8 against the spread with my picks last week.

The Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders and the Buffalo Bills are on byes this week, which means there are two less games to bet on.

We are down to only two unbeaten teams this season…and four teams that have yet to win a game. Will any of these teams get rid of the zero in their records this week?

The Redskins and Dolphins face off this week in a game between two teams still looking for their first win on the year. Which team will end their drought on Sunday?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2019 NFL season.

This is the first week of the 2019 NFL season that four teams on a bye.

The Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts and the Oakland Raiders are off this week. Those four teams aren’t exactly stocked with huge fantasy studs, but there are enough players off this week that could alter your lineup.

Projectile Sports That Take A Lot Of Skill

Sports in the traditional sense have always focused on physical performance. Whether you love playing football, basketball or baseball, you’re constantly using your body to win the game. Your mind has to be proactive and see openings your opponent has not but for all intents and purposes, you are still using your physical actions to impact the game. But there are other sports that take just as much skill but require far fewer physical movements. Projectile sports are slowly catching on and becoming available to a wider audience thanks to the internet. They require finesse and understanding of physics, they utilize specific equipment and they do sometimes have a steep learning curve. But don’t let that put you off, there’s so much to be gained from projectile sports.

WWE’s ‘Hell In A Cell’ Insulted Fans’ Intelligence

WWE chose the absolute worst time to book what may go down as one of the worst pay-per-views of all-time.

I’m sure WWE were walking with a little extra pep in their step after a strong debut on FOX on Friday. They scored their biggest rating in years and they are now rolling in dough with their new television deals kicking in this week.

This pay-per-view may have been doomed from the start since they spent the final Smackdown celebrating themselves, and they only officially announced three matches prior to ‘Hell In A Cell’. They also made it clear that they didn’t care about this pay-per-view as they used Smackdown to build towards the show in Saudi Arabia on October 31st.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I apologize for getting my college football picks out this late, but my hosting company decided to migrate thousands of sites to larger servers…and didn’t get an email telling me this was going to happen. After it was moved, I had to call the security company that protects my site. The hosting company didn’t tell them the new IP address of the server and they had to add that manually. So, after 30 hours of random back-and-forth calls, it’s now fixed.

There are some huge games this week that could knock off a few conference championship contenders. Iowa vs Michigan and Auburn vs Florida are two must-watch games this week.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 6 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 5th,, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 8-7 against the spread with my picks last week.

The Miami Dolphins are on bye week, but we still have our fair share of double-digit point spreads this week.

The Browns finally lived up to the hype last week when they beat the Ravens 40-25. They face the Niners on Monday Night and are actually 3.5-point underdogs. Can the Browns score an underdog win in the Bay Area?

Will any backup quarterbacks lead their teams to a cover this week?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 5

The Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins are on bye during Week 5. Sadly, this means that you won’t have an easy team for a fantasy defense this week.

We are only through four games and we’ve lost around a 1/3rd of the starting quarterbacks due to injuries and ineffectiveness. We lost more last week with Mitchell Trubisky (injury) and Case Keenum (garbage throws) getting replaced during the games.

Which backup quarterbacks are worth a roster spot?

Learn How to Read the Odds in the World of NFL

While many people want to think they can accurately predict how an NFL game will plat out, it’s not that easy. In fact, Forbes recognized that the NFL is more unpredictable than ever. For those who are wanting to enter the world of sports betting via the National Football League, you’ve got to know the basics. That’s why we covered them here!

Point-Spreads (A.K.A. Lines, Sides, & Spreads)

This is the most popular type of wager placed by people focused on wagering on NFL teams/games as they see it as the solution to putting the NFL odds in their favor. The bookie chooses the number. For example, probabilities could be represented as Dallas Cowboys +9.5 and New York Jets -9.5. In this case, the New York Jets are considered less likely to win and that they’ll lose by 10 points or more (since 9.5 has a half associated, it’s rounded up).

2019 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

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

The college football landscape looks and feels a little different now that we saw the outcome of the Georgia/Notre Dame and Wisconsin/Michigan games. We can probably write off Michigan being any sort of Big Ten championship contender after that poor performance.

We are also making a shortlist of potential Heisman candidates. No one is running away with it yet, but conference play is just getting started. We should be able to cross off a few guys after this week.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 5 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (September 28th,, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 10-6 against the spread with my picks last week.

I’m really liking some of the nail biting fourth quarters this season. There have been so many point spreads covered late in games. It just didn’t happen much last year.

There were two 20+ point spreads last week (only one covered), but there aren’t any near that level this week. The Dolphins are huge underdogs (again), but they are only sixteen-point underdogs against the Chargers this week.

Can rookie quarterbacks Kyler Murray and Gardner Minshew lead upsets this weekend?

Was Daniel Jones just a one-week wonder?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 4

The usual top fantasy quarterbacks aren’t having the best years. Most have been bitten by the injury bug or overall ineptitude. Backups have risen to the challenge and we have guys like Giants QB Daniel Jones and Panthers QB Kyle Allen killing it in fantasy last week.

Bye weeks start in Week 4, but luckily the two teams on bye aren’t stacked with fantasy studs. The San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets are the two teams sitting this week out.

Which young backup quarterback will have the best fantasy output this weekend: Kyle Allen, Daniel Jones or Gardner Minshew?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 4 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Daniel Jones of the New York Giants.
