8 weeks are in the books in the NFL. That means this is SBJ’s first official midterms as NFL odds guru with Wayniac Nation. 30-21 in his free picks for you thus far, not too shabby. Since SBJ is the self-proclaimed professor of his Sunday classes, how would The Wayniac – a former teacher myself — grade SBJ’s midterm performance? Being a mere one win behind the oddsmakers in Vegas, I would give him an A-. We don’t want him to get complacent. Keep thickening those wallets, SBJ, my readers need holiday presents by the time the end of the semester rolls around.
Our very own SBJ is back, providing full disclosure on where he went right and where he went wrong with last week’s primetime picks. Sit back and get prepared for tomorrow’s lesson.
If you are anything like myself, your entire fantasy football season may seem like it fell off of a cliff. Two weeks ago, I was the number one team in my league with the best record, most points and the scary backfield of Matt Forte and Arian Foster. Now, I am currently heading into this Sunday with Giovani Bernard and Charles Sims as my current backfield. If you didn’t laugh out loud after reading that sentence the first time, go ahead and do it now.
It may look bleak as fantasy starters like Forte, Foster, Steve Smith, Keenan Allen and Le’Veon Bell have hit the IR. But there are pieces out there that can save your season. I’ll spare you the obvious pick up DeAngelo Williams “advice”, and get to some guys that may be on the waiver wire or easily obtainable through trade.
The past two weeks in the NFL have seen a rash of injuries to some of football’s biggest stars. Le’Veon Bell is done for the year, and Matt Forte is out for extended periods of time. Now, Keenan Allen looks like he will be out for the season.
Two big Achilles burst over the past two weeks, and with them, possibly the careers of two of the more exciting players over the past few years.
SBJ is back and he is pretty excited with the menu for this week’s primetime games. Take your weekly Sunday ride with him and see if it pays off… through seven weeks it certainly has.
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.
How did Sportsbook Jesus do last week? Remember a few week’s back when The Wayniac out-Wayniaced himself in fantasy football? No? Well, I will let SBJ explain in this week’s rundown.
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.
