Spread Option

The NFL playoffs are finally here! Week 18 had some surprises, along with more than a couple of sure things, but now all bets are off. First up on the slate is the Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders heading to Cincinatti to take on Joe Burrow's Bengals. The Raiders are hot off a wild west shootout against the Chargers last week but can they duel it out again with the Bengals? Following that match up is the 3rd meeting of the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen tore apart the Patriots' secondary in the last meeting. Has Bill Belichick made the proper adjustments?

First up on the Sunday slate is the Philadelphia Eagles squaring off against the reigning world champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Can Tom Brady and the boys shut down Jalen Hurts and the gang once and for all? Following that game is the San Francisco 49ers against the red-hot Dallas Cowboys, where Dak Prescott is looking for his 2nd playoff. Finally, the Pittsburgh Steelers are limping their way to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night. KC is a heavy favorite of -12.5 but can Big Ben stump the pros one last time? Listen to the latest episode of Spread Option NFL to find out to how bet the NFL Wild Card weekend!

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened :) It's hard not to be sentimental as we head into the 18th and final week of NFL football. We've seen a lot of firsts this year, including NFL Week 18 in general, but let's think about some of the more memorable moments. We saw Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts rush for 5 touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. We also saw a crazy windy game in Buffalo where Mac Jones and the New England Patriots attempted only 3 passes, as New England went on to win 14-10 over the Bills. My personal favorite this year has for sure has been seeing Ja'Marr Chase lighting the Cincinnati Bengals offense on fire as he and QB Joe Burrow led the Bengals to winning the AFC North. There's still NFL action to be had here in Week 18 so listen the Spread Option NFL Podcast to figure out how to bet it!

Better late than never! NFL Week 17 saw some wild upsets and a huge number of double digit underdogs battle it out. Antonio Brown rage quit down 2 scores agains the Jets (hey, who wouldn't?) and is no longer a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Aaron Rodgers led his Green Bay Packers to another 1st seed in the NFC playoff race but the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams both hung on this week and are hot on his heels. Tonight, on Monday Night Football, Baker Mayfield leads the Cleveland Browns to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers in what will likely be Ben Roethlisberger's last home game. The Browns, of course, are now officially out of the playoff picture following the Chargers win over Denver, but will the play spoiler on Big Ben's last home stand as a Steeler? Listen to the latest episode of Spread Option NFL to find out more!

Merry Picks-mas! Ho ho ho, have we got a special surprise for all of the good little boys and girls out there! We're joined by the incomparable George Jarjour (@GeorgeOnTap) to break down the full slate of action for NFL Week 16. Last week, some folks on the naughty list got Covid in their stocking, uh I mean, coal, and really threw a wrench in the playoff hopes for teams like the Browns, Washington Football Team, and Titans. While we wish everyone a speedy recovery, Week 16 also appears to be a mystery as to who will actually take the field come kickoff. If you need a more educated opinion, listen to the latest and greatest podcast right now! Also, keep your ears perked up for a very special emergency Lock of the Week! Ho ho ho!

This is it....This is where the rubber meets the road. Divisional opponents continue to slug it out as they try to make their playoff dreams a reality. Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo, of course, lost a windy one to the red-hot New England Patriots and their rookie QB Mac Jones. Most importantly, perhaps, this week is also another meeting of the greatest rivalry in NFL history. The Chicago Bears, led by young gun Justin Fields, head north to Green Bay to square off against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Can Fields get it done in the Frozen Tundra or will Aaron Rodgers continue to assert his dominance? Find out what the fellas think on the latest episode of the Spread Option NFL podcast!

After a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday, B-Fox and B-Frank return with another edition of the Spread Option podcast College Football edition. B-Fox had a modest Week 13 while B-Frank had a monster week going 20-7 and hitting his lock. With a small slate this week for Conference Championship Week (+ USC at Cal) the guys are playing the entire board (sans MAC Championship because of Northern Illinois). The guys run chronologically through the week's games and make their picks and locks for the week.

The New England Patriots, led by rookie Mac Jones, seem to be unstoppable as they face Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football with the AFC East hanging in the balance.

Gobble gobble, y'all! That's turkey-talk for "let's make some money!". We got a huge slate of games on Thanksgiving Day, one of the proudest American traditions we have. The circus that is the Chicago Bears heads to take on the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in the Motor City. Meanwhile, America's team the Dallas Cowboys host the Las Vegas Raiders. Before you stuff your bet slip like a turkey, listen to the latest Spread Option NFL podcast for picks! We'll be gobbling away over on twitter @spreadoption_ if you want to get more action.

If you've even casually paid attention to the last 3 weeks of NFL betting, you would know that the underdogs remain on top. Up is down, down is up, cats are laying down with dogs. It's absolute madness out there! Not only are seeing some wild upsets, but I couldn't believe the number of upsets in Week 10. The New England Patriots demolished the Cleveland Browns, who saw Baker Mayfield leave the game early due to injury. The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, seemed to have re-found their mojo on offense and blew the doors off of the Las Vegas Raiders. Finally, Josh Allen and his Buffalo Bills appear to be back on track in the AFC East with a convincing win over the New York Jets. Confused on how week 11 will shake out? Look no further! We've got all the answers you could ever want, and more, on the latest episode of Spread Option NFL! Be sure to follow us for more on Twitter @spreadoption_

The Brians return with another episode of the Spread Option, College Football edition. Week 11 went fairly well for the guys, B-Fox posted a 17-16 record but lost his lock, B-Frank on the flip side posted 14-8-1 record and hit his lock in back-to-back weeks by respecting the troops. Week 12 has three big ranked games with Michigan State-Ohio State, Arkansas-Alabama, and Oregon-Utah. B-Fox is back at it with a 32 play card while B-Frank has opted for a more modest 22 play card and they cover a lot of different games.
