2025 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Due to some server maintenance issues, I missed my first week of football picks in over a decade. I hope you guys had a profitable Thanksgiving week.

I think there is some value in this week’s NFL betting lines. We have a few hot teams that aren’t getting much respect. The Bears are on fire, but are nearly a touchdown underdog against the Packers.

There are some good teams facing uphill battles to earn a playoff spot. Can the 6-6 Kansas City Chiefs make a run?

2025 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread during the sixth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I got the panted beat off me last week. It was by far the worst week I’ve had against the spread, in the NFL or college football.

We have almost another full slate of games this week, with only two teams on bye.

How will the Buccaneers passing offense fare against a banged up Lions secondary?

Can the Bears win their four game in-a-row?

2025 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread during the fifth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out very rough with the early games, but was able to run the table on the afternoon games.

Last week, we saw a lot of outright upsets against perennial powerhouses. The Eagles, Bills and Chiefs all went down, which probably hasn’t happened in the same week in a long time.

Will the Lions cover on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs?

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?

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.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 3 of the 2025 NFL season.

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.

Which sophomore quarterback will take a big leap in Year Two?

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.

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?

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?

2024 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6 against the spread in Week 12.

I’ve historically been outstanding on Thanksgiving. I’m always scared of jinxing myself by pointing this out every year. It’s worked out so far, so if I miss, it’s my fault.

Due to injuries, there are only two solid games on Thanksgiving. I would call the Giants/Cowboys game a complete skip for me. I just have no desire to watch Tommy Cutlets, or Tim Boyle, or Drew Lock vs Cooper freaking Rush duke it out while I digest food.

Can Jalen Hurts outduel Lamar Jackson this weekend?

2024 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread in Week 11.

After a stretch of great weeks, I’ve had back-to-back hiccups. Well, I hope they are hiccups, because I need to turn it around.

I really like this week’s slate of games. There are some fun ones on the schedule, like Ravens/Chargers and Niners/Packers. I don’t love the few double-digit point spreads, but this always happens at this point every year.

Can the Detroit Lions stay hot and cover on the road against the Indianapolis Colts?
