NFL Sundays with SBJ: Irrelevant jumps and drops

Weeks four and five of the NFL season saw SBJ go a combined 10-2 in his free picks for you and your bankroll. Last week, he admittedly was blinded by his own fandom, and didn’t have that SBJ record in which you have grown accustom. I can only imagine that after years of knowing of him, he bounces back with a perfect weekend. Listen carefully, boys and girls.

SBJ’s Week 7 Picks ahead!

Kaepernick and Wilson in today’s random thoughts

Yes sir, another amazing Thursday Night Football game is in the books. Man, I can’t believe I am saying this, but TNF may have to go. I love football, but TNF has been — for the most part — painful to watch. I would want the NFL to figure out a way to have football every night of the week if it were possible, but these games are horrendous.

Check out how these two young QBs are driving me nuts!

The NFC Beast has become the NFC Least in today’s random thoughts

That was the most despicable display of football NFL fans have had to endure in prime time in quite awhile. Five interceptions. Two lost fumbles, while four others were recovered by their own team. And the New York Giants — once one of the NFL’s rushing powerhouses — has yet to have 100 yards rushing in a single game this season. How is that even possible?

Read on to see why the fall of the NFC East is so disheartening

The Dirty Birds in the Big Easy in today’s random thoughts

Oh, Thursday Night Football. It really brings out the worst from good teams on such a short week of preparation. Last night, the Atlanta Falcons headed to NOLA on a five game winning streak and — aside from Devonta Freeman — played a terrible game. Why can’t they solve the riddle of The Benz?

It’s time for the Falcons to find another gear in today’s random thoughts.

The New England Patriots and the NFL’s undefeateds in today’s random thoughts

We learned a lot this weekend in the NFL. One thing we learned is that the once vaunted Baltimore Ravens defense is not what they used to be, even on their home turf. We already knew, but were unfortunately reminded, that Jamaal Charles is paper thin. Oh, and we also learned that no matter how much you make fun of Joe Flacco‘s contract, Matthew Stafford is getting benched while making his ludicrous amount of money. The Lions are in bad shape, and Stafford appears to be in a serious decline.

We also learned that there are some really, really good teams in the NFL this season. Six teams remained undefeated after this weekend. Which of the six are going to be there come January when the playoffs start?

Which undefeateds are for real? Keep reading to find out!

NFL Sundays with SBJ: Do you know what they call him?

If you have been paying attention, the Sportsbook Jesus has been building you a nice little vacation wad of cash the past few weeks. Last week, he nailed it, going 6-1 (in case you missed it, take a look at his new weekly recap feature right here). Who does he have in this week’s prime time matchups for you? Take a look in your weekly NFL Sundays with SBJ.

Giants or 49ers? Steelers or Chargers? SBJ has you covered.

The NFL rundown with SBJ: What the heck is a rundown?

Wow. That’s all I can say is wow. If you rolled with my NFL guru’s picks last week, you may actually be on vacation right now. The Sportsbook Jesus absolutely crushed it and hopefully built you a nice little bank moving forward. 

This week, we started a new installment. Instead of… well, I will just let him explain it to you. Without further ado, I give you the SBJ NFL Rundown.

Batted ball-gate in today’s random thoughts

What Bill Belichick is to cheating the NFL, Pete Carroll is to getting away with the worst calls ever. I remember the Tuesday after the infamous Fail Mary I wrote on Facebook that I may never be able to watch football again. I had seen bad calls in football, but none at the very end of the game that so severely influenced the outcome. Then came K.J. Wright.
