The Great Wahl readers have had the chance to see my masculine side with NCAAF picks and more recently my sensitive side with a blurb on speed dating. But a side yet to be displayed to Wahl’s loyal readers is the critical, cynical and generally crabby side of BJones. Perhaps age, perhaps a [...]

It’s been less than 36 hours since the 2009-2010 NFL Season ended and I’m already going into withdrawal. So, I have to get my fix by putting together a quick preview for next year. It’s never too early.
Sportsbook.com has futures for next year’s Championship Games and Super Bowl. That’s enough for me to put together [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted my full weekly NFL preview column on here. But it’s the Super Bowl, so I figure I might as well go out of the football season with one last big push. I have some recap stuff to get to once the season is completely over, and I will [...]

BJones, The Great Wahl’s College Football Senior Writer, asked me to put together a quick commentary about last night’s Pro Bowl experiment…so here we go.
For the unfamiliar, the Pro Bowl is usually played in Hawaii the week after the Super Bowl. This year, it was played in Miami, the site of this year’s Super Bowl, [...]

I can’t leave this just to the Facebook community to see this. I have to throw it out to the Great Wahl masses. It’s quite an incriminating picture. I hope it doesn’t cost either one of them their fancy lawyer gigs next fall.
Wernick is already on the Wahl of Fame. Maybe he should be the [...]

So, last weekend didn’t go so well…
Outside of the Packers losing ‘the most entertaining game of any sport in recent memory’ in a heartbreaking manner because we couldn’t pressure Kurt Warner, I managed to go 0-4 in my ‘Spread ‘Em’ column for Wildcard Weekend.
I’m pretty sure I said “It’s never smart to want to [...]

I’ve been traveling the past few weeks, so I haven’t had the opportunity to put together my weekly NFL picks column. However, I can’t resist any longer now that the playoffs are upon us. Only 11 NFL games remain in the 2009 season. Let’s see if I can pull a winning record against the spread [...]

The last few weeks, I haven’t really been inspired to do the Spread ‘Em column. My football energies have been focused on the great run the Packers are making, and I’ve neglected paying attention to all the other teams, so my picks have been suffering.
However, the Packers can wrap up a playoff spot this weekend, [...]

Busy this morning with the photo contest below, so I’m running up against the clock for my picks. Games start in like 5 minutes. For the record, I like:
NEW ORLEANS (-10.5) at Atlanta Falcons
Detroit Lions (+14) at BALTIMORE RAVENS
GREEN BAY PACKERS (-4) at Chicago Bears
CINCINNATI BENGALS (+7) at Minnesota Vikings
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (+4) at Dallas [...]

It feels like I’ve gone 4-3 every week for quite some time now, but that’s not actually the case. However, last week was, again, a mixed bag. My Thanksgiving thoughts mostly included being thankful for being above water on my fake betting:
Last Week: Against the Spread: 4-3; Straight Up: 5-2
Season: Against the Spread: 39-30-1 [...]
