The Slumpbuster

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL.

We kick off the pod by diving into Kyle's most recent NBA Power Rankings. Currently the Washington Wizards sit as the third seed in the Eastern Conference but 12th in our rankings. Are the Wizards underrated and why the exclusion from the Top-10? #Wizards

Speaking of rankings, the latest College Football Playoff rankings were released as such 1. George, 2. Michigan, 3. Alabama and 4. Cincinnati. The possibility of Cincinnati getting bumped for a potential Big-12 Champion Oklahoma State Cowboys looms as does Alabama making it with two losses. Michigan got the big victory against a rival but are they bound for an upset against Iowa? What will the final CFP poll look like on Bowl Selection Sunday?

Aside from the rankings, college football had massive change at the head coaching position for two institutional powers. Lincoln Riley shocked the world Sunday when he announced he would be leaving to Southern California. Riley will get a decade long deal to be the coach at USC and looks to bring the program back to national relevance again for the first time since Pete Carroll left. Brian Kelly made a splash as well leaving the Fighting Irish and heading to LSU. LSU is merely two years removed from a national championship but experienced a falling out with Ed Ogeron. Can Kelly excel in the South Eastern Conference? #CollegeFootball

Following our discussion on college football we give our NFL Week 13 preview for the below games:

Los Angeles Chargers (+3.0) @ Cincinnati Bengals

New York Giants (+4.0) @ Miami Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens (-4.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Denver Broncos (+9.5) @ Kansas City Chiefs

New England Patriots (+2.5) @ Buffalo Bills

The NBA trade deadline was very active and provided resolutions in two of the leagues most captivating stories. Ben Simmons & James Harden traded home teams when the Nets & 76ers made a deal.

Who won this deal of Eastern Conference powers? (16:59) #JamesHarden #BenSimmons

It's once again time to Bust the Slump and enjoy another episode of the Slumpbuster podcast! Joining us this week is hip hop recording artist Anthony Jaramillo aka Bigger Than Goliath. Anthony & Ju-Ju talk some of the biggest stories in rap, the NBA and the NFL. #DennisSchroder

When Dennis Schroder entered NBA Free Agency, he had envisioned a different outcome. Schroder signed a one-year $5.9M contract to play with the Boston Celtics in the 2021-2022 NBA season. This follows turning down a reported $84M contract to stay in Los Angeles and play with the Lakers. Schroder finished second in 6th man of the year voting back in 2019 with Oklahoma City. Can he provide that same spark to a Celtics lineup that was eliminated in the first round this past season? #BostonCeltics

We continue our NFL division breakdown series with the AFC South in this episode. The Jacksonville Jaguars made some big splash additions with Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence but what will their final record be come seasons end? The Houston Texans are still dealing with the Deshaun Watson situation, can they overcome the adversity in the locker room to surprise NFL fans? Indianapolis will start the year without their starting quarterback Carson Wentz, can the Colts deep roster sustain them in Wentz absence? The Titans won the division last year but didn't settle, picking up future hall of fame wide receiver Julio Jones. Can the Titans repeat as champions behind their potent offense? #NFL

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL.

With a wealth of head coaching vacancies in the NFL, the rumor mill is starting to churn. Jim Harbaugh just came off his most successful season with Michigan. Harbaugh's Wolverines finished only lost two games in 2021 and made their first ever college football playoff. While Harbaugh has cemented his name in the head coaching spot in Ann Arbor for years to come, could a deep pocketed NFL team lure him back to the pros? Las Vegas has put their name out there as a potential landing spot but would this make sense for the Raiders and Harbaugh? #Raiders (2:00)

Antonio Brown has proven to be his own worst enemy since the end of the 2018 regular season. Brown since leaving the Steelers has had cups of coffee with the Patriots, Raiders and finally seemed to find a home in Tampa. Unfortunately, following a recent suspension things blew up for Brown and the Buccaneers. While trailing, Brown disrobed and stormed off the field. The fallout of this recent drama places Brown's career in jeopardy moving forward as he burns another bridge. #AntonioBrown (20:00)

Ju-Ju dropped his most recent power rankings on the Slumpbuster instagram account but Kyle is not convinced of the Titans ranking. Are the Titans overrated or underrated as we enter the NFL's final week? (52:00)

Before we close, the guys give their preview and predictions for the following five NFL games:

New Orleans Saints -4.5 @ Atlanta Falcons (52:00)

San Francisco 49ers +4.5 @ Los Angeles Rams (1:16:00)

Dallas Cowboys -5.0 @ Philadelphia Eagles (1:32:00)

Seattle Seahawks +6.5 @ Arizona Cardinals (1:42:00)

Los Angels Chargers -3.0 @ Las Vegas Raiders (1:56:00)
