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

Los Angeles Chargers (+3.0) @ Cincinnati Bengals

New York Giants (+4.0) @ Miami Dolphins

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of Major League Baseball and the National Football League.

Major League Baseball has released the names of individuals debuting for the first time on the Hall of Fame ballot. Some notable first time names include Tim Lincecum, Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder and Jimmy Rollins. While those players are eligible for the first time there are gigantic names eligible for the last time. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Curt Schilling will be on the ballot once more and then no longer. Bonds and Clemens have been withheld from the hall due to their involvement in baseballs fabled Steroid Era. Schilling, a multiple time World Series Champion, has been under fire for his political beliefs. Will this be the year Bonds, Clemens and Shilling finally get inducted into immortality? Kyle & Ju-Ju give their 10 names they would give votes toward.

Our next segment we preview NFL Week 12 and give our predictions for the following games:

Minnesota Vikings (+3) @ San Francisco 49ers

Cleveland Browns (+3.5) @ Baltimore Ravens

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-3) @ Indianapolis Colts

Tennessee Titans (+7) @ New England Patriots

Los Angeles Rams (-1) @ Green Bay Packers

We close out the show by speculating on the offseason quarterback market. Will Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr and others find new homes in 2022? Who are some teams that should be in the hunt? Can the New York Giants figure things out and should they clear house of Joe Judge and David Gettleman?

Enjoy!
