Just Like the title says, real raw gambling and sports. Alright, motherfuckers, your favorite college football internet gambler FINALLY has his own site. I was so tired of these sites not being real and giving people the raw sports and gambling talk that people crave. I needed this platform to freely speak my mind on all things sports, gambling, pop culture and whatever else I want! No more filters, no more strings; just giving great gambling advice and talking sports like the boys do at the bar.
If you’re reading this and don’t know who I am yet, you’ve been missing out. I am Spikedjohnnyb on Twitter. I run a college football podcast and college football gambling Youtube show. I’ve written for a few sports websites, but I’m tired of people hamstringing me. With the birth of my son and having a sugar mama as a wife and being a stay at home dad, I now have the opportunity to do my own thing.
The team at On the Card Sports, which right now is two of us, will cover all sports, gambling, pop culture and the things I enjoy. I know my shit when it comes to college football, college basketball and the NFL. I can talk baseball, hockey and soccer with the best of them and so can my partner Tyler. We are always looking for anybody that wants to talk sports and not be filtered. Our goal here at On the Card Sports is to blog about sports like how the guys talk to each other at home or at the bar over some beers.
Things are in motion for a daily sports gambling show on Youtube, Apple and Spotify, along with our Spiked College Football Show and other ideas in the works. If you look at my track record in gambling, I am a phenomenal college football gambler. I’m a real gambler, not the fake shit you see on Fanduel and Draft Kings. I put real money on the games.
Share the post and the site to all your degenerate gambling and sports friends. By the way I love Kansas State -1.5 and UConn -2.5. Take the picks win the money then thank me. Follow Us On Twitter, TikTok, Instagram and Youtube.
PS: Grammar nazis I have two words for you” SUCK IT” , I talk sports, entertain you and win you money, I’m not an english teacher.
I told you we would get back to our winning ways on “put these on the card” and we did. We did not have a perfect night because the Celtics showed up again. I am proving to be a very good baseball gambler with another perfect night on the Diamond. It is like I deserve to be on the field with the boys.
That song just puts the vibes so high and makes me want to play. Pretty soon we will only have baseball to bet on. I love that I am hot on the sport right now. The record for the week is 4-4 but I have three homer run picks tonight. Put these on the card if you like winning.
New York Yankees ML +108 vs Padres
This is one of my rule plays for the year that I have talked about before. When the Yankees are plus money at home take them. No matter the circumstances take the plus sign and run when the Bronx Bombers have it. I am not crazy about the pitching for the Yankees, I have no idea who their starter Vasquez is but I love their lineup. Plus the Padres have just not been great all year. Hammer the Yankees.
New York Mets ML -210 @ Colorado
Colorado is a terrible team and the Mets should sweep them. The Mets are playing good baseball winning 6 of their last 8. Scherzer is going tonight for the Mets and I expect 6 innings plus of 1 or 2 run baseball. The Mets should score 5 or 6 before Max’s night is done. LFGM!
Baltimore Orioles ML -134 vs. Texas
The Orioles are just a good baseball team that wins this year. The last ten games the are 7-3. Those games were against the Angels, Blue Jays and Yankees. That is a really impressive run vs. good teams. Gimme the O’s at home because I don’t see them slowing down.
Welcome to the Ultimate College Football Preview for 2023. Every team in FBS Football will be covered in this daily blog release. All of your favorite teams from the ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big 10, C-USA, MAC, Mountain West, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt & even every Independent. Think of these daily college football previews as a cheat sheet going into next year.
2022 Recap:
As you have seen when I do a college football preview I don’t pull punches and keep in 100%. The Hoosiers were god awful last year. Both their offense and defense were ranked over 100 in points per game. The defense allowed 33.9 points per game while the offense only scored 23.2 points per game. The Hoosiers started off hot winning their first 3 games. Then they lost the next seven straight games, five of them by two possessions or more. They beat Michigan State somehow and then lost to Purdue to end the year. I can’t really say too many more positive things about this team, it was ugly and hard to watch.
Head Coach:
Coach Tom Allen has been in Bloomington since 2016 and has been the head coach since 2017. Everyone knows that Indiana is a basketball school and expectations are not high. Allen is 30-40 in his 6 years coaching the Hoosiers. He has two winning seasons, on being the shortened covid year, and has 2 bowl appearance, both losses. His best record was in 2019 when that Hoosier team went 8-5. To put how bad of a program Indiana is historically, they have been playing football for 120 years and have only made 13 bowl games. In only 6 seasons Allen has coached 23 % of bowl appearances. I am harping on how bad the Hoosiers are historically to complement Allen. He is the perfect fit for Indiana. If he continues to have these 8-5 maybe 9-4 years every 3 or 4 seasons that is amazing. If each class can make a bowl game, Indiana’s program is going in the right direction. Baby steps made by Allen could turn this program into an annual mid tier Big 10 team.
Key Players:
While doing a college football preview I usually know the names of 3 or 4 guys even on the really bad teams. I couldn’t name one player coming back for the Hoosiers this year. This is all research. They lost their QB and the man starting this year for them is Sophomore Dexter Williams JR. This will be the Macon, Georgia natives first real playing time. Out of high school he was a 3 star dual threat QB with only one power five offer. Maybe Allen found a diamond in the rough, looking at his highlights this kid can be electric. The second leading running back is back in Senior Josh Henderson. Henderson had 672 yards from scrimmage and 8 touchdowns as a back up. Leading WR from last year Cam Camper is also back after his 46 catch, 569 yard and 2 touchdown junior year. He will lead a very young WR room and will be the best option for Williams to become comfortable early this year in the pass game. Good new for the defense with last years leading tackle, MLB Aaron Casey is back after having 85 tackles, 10.5 TFLs and 2 sacks last year. He is one of a few starters back for the Hoosiers which is probably a good thing because the defense was pretty bad.
2023 Prediction:
The Hoosiers non-conference schedule might be winnable with all home games vs. Indiana State, Louisville and Akron. It the Hoosiers beat Akron then they will go 2-1 in these 3 games, the Akron game is a swing game in their season. The only winnable conference games are Rutgers, Michigan State, Purdue, Illinois and Maryland. They are definitely losing the other 4 games. Of the 5 winnable games left 3 of them are on the road. Sorry Hoosier fans I think the ceiling this year is 5-7 and more likely 3-9 year. Don’t worry Allen will have a good year in a couple recruiting classes but this will be a long year.
Another winning day on yesterday’s “put these on the card”. There have been few and far between recently. But yesterday starts a new run of wins. The picks were a little juiced but a win is a win. Money, It’s a hit.
After yesterday’s 2-1 day, fucking Mets 2 loses in a row, we are 4-4 this week. Right at that .500 record in the middle of the week. We can build off that, the week hasn’t been lost let. I have 3 winners today to keep the hot streak going, so put these on the card.
Miami Heat ML +260 @ Boston
So the Heat did not get the sweep last game. The Celtics came out to play and didn’t want to go out in embarrassing fashion. Now everyone in the media are all back on the Celtics, pretty much guaranteeing a game 6. One of my rules for gambling is if everyone is on one side, be on the other. Sometimes you’ll get embarrassed but a lot of times you win and you win big. Give me the Heat and the best player Jimmy Butler to shock everyone again in Boston.
New York Mets ML +100 @ Cubs
This is a homer pick and a motivational pick for my Mets. Boys look, those comebacks of last week don’t mean anything if you get swept today. That 5 game winning streak is pretty much voided out if the Cubs take 3 of 3. Man the fuck up, support Cookie with runs and get back on track. I want to be a positive fan all year so please show me something. The Mets win here because the call ups have been great and the team is unified, just stubbed their toe the last 2 games.
Seattle Mariners ML -250 vs. Oakland
I need a guaranteed win, so here it is. The A’s still have only 10 wins in 51 games. I will continue to always bet against them everyday no matter the juice. The reason is I love the win on the record. Thank you Oakland for guaranteeing me at least one right pick every day! Viva Las Vegas A’s Fans!

2022 Recap:
I enjoyed Illinois football last year and this college football preview was fun looking back on Illinois. Last year was a great year for the Fighting Illini. They would have hit their absolute ceiling if they didn’t have 3 bad losses to Michigan State, Indiana and Purdue. That being said finishing the year at 8-4, 2nd in the Big Ten West, number 1 ranked defense and going to a bowl game is about where Illinois should want to be. It is not a power football program and they never will be. Their ceiling is 10 wins and a Rose bowl and if they can hit that every ten years it is a win. If they have more consistent seasons like last year the Illini fans can’t complain. Every other year competing for the top of the Big Ten West that is a win.
Head Coach:
Coach Bret Bielema is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Illini. His hard nose, smash mouth, defense first football is perfect for Illinois. They are not some blue blood college football power. They are however a very good fan base that just wants to win some games and go bowling. Bielema wants to run the ball and play fantastic defense. That just fits the midwest, cold weather team that the Illini are. They are never going to a be a flashy, spread you out and score 50 points a game team. Illinois is a run the ball, use play action with a mobile QB to make big plays down the field and be feared on defense. With Bielema in charge of the defense, Illinois will be a top 20 team on that side of the ball. The man can just scheme and coach defenses to put guys in positions to make plays. He is now 13-12 after two years in Springfield. Under Bielema Illinois should be bowling every year and every 3 or 4 years competing for a Big 10 championship towards the end of the year. This is a perfect fit for coach, fans and team.
Key Players:
The Illini were not great on offense but did lose their best player Chase Brown to the NFL. Brown was the starting running back who had 1,883 yards from scrimmage with 13 touchdowns and averaged 5.5 yards per carry. That is a lot of production to make up. His backup last year Reggie Love III is the man who will be stepping up to take on that challenge. In a very limited role, Love averaged 4.5 yards per carry and had 2 touchdowns and 316 yards. The Illini also have to replace their game managing QB Tommy Devito who had 2,650 yards with a 69.6% completion percentage, 15 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Devito was not a world beating QB, rather he was a leader and distributor of the ball. That task this year will be Red Shirt Sophomore Transfer Luke Altmyer from Ole Miss. He was a backup at Ole Miss but was a former 4 star recruit that has a good arm and the ability to make plays outside the pocket. Maybe the playbook gets a little bigger for Altmyer with his ability to move and throw on the run. Luke does have a pair of WR coming back to the Illini offense. Casey Washington and Pat Bryant are back who combined had 759 yards on 65 catches and 2 touchdowns. They will be the leaders of a very young WR room. The defense loses their leader Witherspoon to the draft. They lost a lot of players to the draft and graduation on defense. The leading tackler back is DE Jer’Zahn Newton who had 61 tackles, 14 TFLs and 5.5 sacks. He will be the leader of a very young but talented group on defense. His opposite DE Keith Randolph JR will help cement a very good defensive line.
2023 Prediction:
Really a college football preview always comes down to matchups coming up. Looking at the Illini non-conference schedule they have games vs. Toledo and FAU at home and a game at Kansas. This maybe trickier than it looks. With all the replacing the Illini have to do on both sides of the ball this might be tough. Illinois should be Toledo, the FAU game is a toss up and the Kansas game is a loss. It they go 2-1 thats a huge win. The home conference games are Penn State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Indiana and Northwestern. That is tough and at best 3-2 is what the Illini are looking at. The Road games are Purdue, Maryland, Iowa and Minnesota. Looking at these games and their rosters they can win 3 of these games even though 2 is more likely. Putting all this information together the ceiling is 8-4 again for Illinois with 7-5 being right where I see them. I would be surprised if they slid under .500 and there is no chance this team can win more than 8.
Sorry we missed yesterday’s put these on the card blog. It is hard to do everyday while moving with an infant. My mental and physicals were both out of order yesterday. I am writing this one while taking a shit. It is the only place with peace and quiet. I can just sit and think while I stink.
I did put the picks out on Twitter and we went 2-1. Right now for the week we are 2-3. Not great boys but this time tomorrow we will be at .500 or better. I have 3 winners today for you so put these on the card.
New York Mets ML -102 @ Cubs
The hot stretch of the Mets was ended last night, nothing lasts forever. I think the Mets come out and take this game and then the series. Senga is on the mound for the Mets and I think shuts the Cubs bats down. It is the first time the Cubs are seeing the right hander and I think he keeps Chicago off balance. The bats come out for the Mets and they get to firmer teammate Stroman early.
Tampa Bay Rays ML -196 vs Toronto
McClanahan and the best team in baseball, don’t overthink it. Just take the win and keep it moving.
Seattle Mariners ML -290 vs. Oakland
Again let’s not overthink a pick here. It’s juicy I get it, just bet more. I have to get over .500 then I can start taking dogs. For now hammer the Mariners because Oakland is a AA baseball team. After we go 3-0 tonight we can start firing on some long shots with a chance. So just put these on the card and wake up tomorrow with winners and one more day until the holiday weekend.
New week, new opportunity to make money on sports. We don’t live in the past here on “put these on the card”. Wee don’t have time to complain about failures or even celebrate achievements. No we always are looking to future.
That’s right we are all about the future this week. But just to be transparent, yesterday we went 2-1 because the Celtics have no heart. The weeks record was 9-11 and we will never discuss last week, the Celtics, or Lakers again. I have 3 perfect picks to start your Memorial Day week. So slack off at work, you only have four days this week and put these on the card.
Philadelphia Phillies ML -225 vs. Diamondbacks
I know the Phillies have been underachieving all year and it’s crazy to bet on them. You never know what team is showing up. Even though he has been hit for a few runs in a couple of games I love Wheeler. When he is on, he is un-hittable. It is either 1 run or 4 plus with him but I think he pitches great today. The Phillies are on a 2 game winning streak and are home. Hammer the Phillies!
St. Louis Cardinals ML -190 @ Cincinnati
I am going against the trend slightly here. The Cardinals have lost the last 7 games that Jordan Montgomery has started. That can’t continue to happen statistically speaking. Also the Cardinals are hot, winning three of four vs the Dodgers last series. The Reds just got swept by the Yankees and they know the season is over before June yet again. Hammer the Cardinals, the Reds will roll over and die.
Seattle Mariners ML -320 vs. Oakland
No doubt that so far the Mariners are no playing up to expectations. They just lost back to back series to the Braves and Red Sox. The Mariners need a winning series and thank god for Oakland. Just what the doctor ordered, the worst team in baseball. While Seattle has been struggling, the A’s have only managed to win 10 games all year. 10 out of 48, yeah take Seattle and the juice bag bet. Put a lot on it to take the W.

2022 Recap:
Look I always keep it real doing a college football preview. TCU was nothing but lucky last season. That’s it. They were a 7-5 team that didn’t lose and the National Championship game and Big 12 Championship proved that.
Head Coach:
Sonny Dykes is a fraud. He didn’t even play football he was a baseball player. He had “success” at La Tech and SMU who cares they aren’t real programs.
Key Players:
They lose all the players from last year who were all overrated anyways. No way Max Duggan should have even sniffed the Heisman. Such bullshit, they see a team from Texas and the National media dick rides. Watch the tape, they were the luckiest team in College Football History. Has a whole horseshoe up all their asses.
2023 Prediction:
I am just being objectively fair in this college football preview. TCU was unbelievably overrated last year and luckier then a 2 time power ball winner. I am only hating on them because it is all true watch the tape it was a 7-5 team. But lets talk about this year. Looking at the non-conference they will beat Nicholls State but lose to both Colorado and SMU, that is 1-2. The conference road games are Houston, Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma. They might give Houston a game and maybe one of these teams all gets crabs so at best 2-3. The home conference games are Texas, Baylor, BYU and West Virginia they might get WVU maybe and BYU is pretty shitty so at best 2-2. At best TCU will finish 5-7, I think it is more like 3-9 and wouldn’t shock me if they only beat Nicholls all year. It is a trash team with trash fans.
Yesterday’s “put these on the card” was eh ok. We had the rain out in the Mets game. LeBron James is officially never winning another championship. He and the Lakers rolled over and died last night. Thank god for the Astros beating the worst team in baseball or it would have been a real bad day. Today is about finishing the week strong.
Lets fucking explode with winners today and get back to .500. I am really feeling a 3-0 day today. Right now in the week we are 7-10. Today is the day we make our move back to our winning ways. I have 3 fantastic pics, so put these on the card and have a great Sunday.
New York Yankees ML 148 @ Cincinnati
I need 3 wins today, so I am going to the teams that always pull through for me. The Yanks have Severino on the hill and are looking for the series sweep. The Reds are a bad team and the Yankees have to keep pace. I think the pitching shuts the bad Reds lineup down and the Bombers bats boom all over Cincinnati today.
New York Mets ML -168 vs. Guardians
Yesterdays rain delay might have slowed the momentum down for the Mets a little bit. Scherzer is on the hill and needs to prove himself in this game 1 of a doubleheader. The young players, and bats have come alive after the walk off wins of this week. If the pitching gets going this team can really do some damage in the National League. I think Mad Max is pissed off enough in how bad he has been to turn it up a notch today and dominated. LFGM!
Boston Celtics ML -156 @ Heat
I mean this is just a heart game for the Celtics. No way they lose 3 straight in the playoffs to a team that is not as talented as them, do they? I mean Tatum has to drop his nuts on the court and save some face. They win tonight they are right back in the series. I thought the same of the Lakers though last night, lets hope the Celtics actually show up and play like they know how too.

2022 Recap:
What to say in this college football preview about the 2022 Texas football season. Hmmm. Texas is BACK? No not yet. Another season were expectations and reality for the Longhorns fell short. They looked like they could have been back, but circumstances and injuries got in the way. Ewers and the Longhorns had Alabama right where they wanted them in the first of their game. The defense was playing lights out and Ewers was gutting the Bama defense. Then he got hurt and Texas lost what could have been the Texas is Back game. They finished the year with 3 more regular season losses and a bowl loss to Washington. All of Texas’ losses were by one score which is why I say almost back. Last year they teased and edged all of college football. The record of 8-4 is not who the Longhorns were, they were much better than that. They just need to finish!
Head Coach:
Coach Steve Sarkisian has been at Texas for 2 years, 2023 being his third. He has to win this year and win big. He is 13-12 overall in Austin and with their crazy fans and boosters that is no where near enough. Sark did prove that his offense was good enough to compete with anyone in the country. I also think he has the right guy in Defensive Coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski to have the Longhorns on top in college football. He held most of the high powered Big 12 offenses under 28 points which in that league is great. Sark has the recruiting knowledge to get his guys like he did with Arch Manning this past year. If the boosters let him go 2 or 3 more years there is a national championship coming from Sarkisian.
Key Players:
Texas has to replace stud running back and first round pick Bijan Robison this year. Last year Robinson had 1,894 yards from scrimmage and 20 total touchdowns. Not only that his backup Roschon Johnson is also in the NFL, he had 682 scrimmage yards and 6 touchdowns from the backfield. The starting job in. the backfield will go to Sophomore Johnathan Brooks who did average 6.6 ypc and had a touchdown in very little time last year. Quinn Ewers is back at QB1 for the Longhorns even with the big recruit in Manning coming in. Last year in 10 games Ewers had a 58.1% completion percentage and threw for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Quinn is a playmaker and has an incredible arm, if he stays healthy and become slightly more accurate he will be in the running for a Heisman this year. Xavier Worthy will be a big part of Ewers being in Heisman contention. The Junior WR is back after having 60 catchers for 760 yards and 9 touchdowns. IF you haven’t seen Worthy take note, he will be balling on Sunday’s soon. He will have a fantastic running mate back in Senior Jordan Whittington . Jordan had 50 catches for 652 yards a touchdown. There are young playmakers all over the depth chart on offense that will help Ewers this year. On defense leading sack man, OLB/DE Barryn Sorrell is back after having 5.5 sacks and 9 TFL’s last season. Leading tackler Senior Jaylan Ford and his 119 tackles, 10 TFL’s, 2 sacks, 4 interceptions, 3 FF and 2 FR is back. This kid is everywhere on film, all he does is make the right play, every play. They have a lot coming back on defense and could be in the top 10 in the country this year.
2023 Prediction:
Looking at Longhorn’s schedule they have 2 easy non-conference wins vs. Rice and Wyoming. Then they have an incredibly tough game @ Tuscaloosa, they will be at worst 2-1 in non-conference this year. Their road conference games are Baylor, Houston, TCU, and Iowa State. The Baylor game will be a great game but they should role the other 3 teams. They just are not on the level of Texas, at worst 3-1 in road games and more than likely 4-0. The home conference games are Kansas State, Texas Tech, Kansas, BYU. Again the Kansas State game will be tough and don’t sleep on Kansas but the shouldn’t lose more than one game at home if any. Then they have the Red River Shootout vs. Oklahoma. That game is usually always a toss up. Texas did blow them out last year, and to be honest I think they win again this year. Taking everything into consideration I like Texas at 11-1 or 10-2 and I think we will finally say they are back. I also don’t think undefeated is off the table. Maybe a top 5 college football preview of 2023.
If the Boston Celtics decided they actually wanted to finish a game we would have been undefeated on yesterday’s “put these on the card”. What the hell was that? We have new Dillion Brooks with Grant Williams getting in Jimmy Butler’s face in the 4th quarter. Why? Stop poking the bear. Butler went off the rest of the game and the Heat won. Like wtf? Just walk the damn line that late in the game.
I walked the damn line last night. I had all the right picks to go 3-0 and still got burned. the record on the week now is 6-9 with two more days to get above .500. Today I have three fantastic more picks tonight that will get us there, so put these on the card.
New York Mets ML -178 vs. Guardians
The Mets are one of the hottest teams in baseball this past week. Walk off after walk off they are fighting to save their season. Today they have Scherzer on the hill who needs to get back on track himself. I think today he proves to the Mets he still is the big game guy and the Mets win the series vs. Guardians. The bats will be there for Scherzer but I don’t think he will need too much. Mad Max will be back today in Queens.
Houston Astros ML -320 vs Oakland
Look I need to get to over .500 this week to stay a reliable source of internet gambling picks. So yes, this is a huge juice bag play and I don’t care. I need the win and the Astros will easily give me one today. It is about the record with his pick, bet a lot to cover the juice to win you something.
Los Angeles Lakers ML -230 vs. Denver
The Lakers played the Nuggets very tough the first two game and should have a victory in this series. LeBron and the boys will not go down so easily at home. A series starts when a team wins a game on the road. That is not happening tonight. The Lakers win this by 6 plus points and make for an interesting game 4.
