2025 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

I’m so happy to have fantasy football back!

This year’s class of rookie quarterbacks are bucking the recent trend of starting right away. QB Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans) is the only rookie quarterback starting in the opening week.

We have a lot of new faces in new places across the league. Veteran quarterbacks like Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith are on new teams. Will any of them shine this weekend?

Which sleepers are you targeting this season?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins.

2025 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

It’s officially the start of the college football season, so let the betting begin!

There is a lot of hype surround a specific Manning kid that plays down in Texas. His autographed cards are selling for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. He has a tough test in Week 1, and we should get an idea where his talent level is against Ohio State.

There are more marquee games than just Ohio State/Texas since college football doesn’t have to compete with the NFL. We have games every day from Thursday through Monday night.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 1 of the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (August 30th, 2025).

2025 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year and I found a bunch of fresh names…and some longtime favorites are using up all the eligibility the NCAA will allow.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

Super Bowl 59 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 59 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular prop bets for Super Bowl 59 (or Super Bowl LIX for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2024-25 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-0-1 against the spread during the Divisional Round.

We have two very different games on the schedule this week.

The NFC Championship have a new contender in the race with the Washington Commanders being a surprise opponent for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The AFC Championship had no surprises, as these two teams were favored to meet here since the start of the season.

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread (and point over/under totals) for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

2024-25 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-3 against the spread during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were a bit ho-hum, but we did get one or two solid games. I expect a lot more drama this week. I think both late games will deliver just that.

The Chiefs and Lions are coming off their well-deserved bye week, will they look rested or rusty?

Does rookie Washington QB Jayden Daniels have any more magic left in him?

We pick every NFL Divisional game against the spread and throw out a few upsets for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

2024-25 NFL Wild Card Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 18.

Week 18 was a case in backwards thinking. A lot of bad teams won and ruined their draft stock. Bad teams/franchises tend to make things worse for themselves and I bet on a lot of those teams to do just that.

It’s important to look at weather reports, the strength of opponents down the stretch and injury reports before placing your bets.

Can the Commanders continue to surprise and cover against Tampa Bay?

We pick every NFL Wild Card game against the spread and throw out a few upsets for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #41 – Ryne Sandberg, Billy Sims & more

The holiday season was ending, but I felt like a kid on Christmas for the autograph returns I received in the days after the 25th. We got some big names in our TTM autograph returns, but we still only had 8 successes this video.

We got Baseball Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg, Heisman Trophy winning-running back Billy Sims, and former New York Yankee (and current USC manager) Andy Stankiewicz.
