Frey's NFL Picks Week 4: I'm a Little Peaved


Unscheduled Rant #1

Why is it that week in and week out, we have to watch Devonte Booker run straight into the collective backsides of his own linemen every time he touches the ball?  Booker’s professional highlight reel is like one great big buttfumble gif on autoplay.

Vance Joseph loves the tenacity

The coaching staff's insistence on giving this guy carries, coupled with their repeated praise is an insult to doctors, women, and monkeys.

Even more infuriating is watching Garrett Bolles fold quicker than Superman on laundry day whenever he’s paired against pass-rushers with skill greater than an accounting major from UTEP.

I have it on good authority that the draft room sounded like this when Denver picked him:

OK guys.  This is our first pick of this draft so let’s make sure we get it right and ensure that this Bolles character checks all the boxes <shuffles through some papers>

Scored 9 or less on the Wonderlic test for a position requiring high intellect and football acumen?  Check.

Never played the position until College and then only for a couple years?  Check.

Most penalized player in College Football?  Check.

Hot-head resistant to coaching?  Check.

Rated far behind guys like Ramczyk, Robinson, and Lamp who are still on the board?  Check.

Can’t go wrong here boys.  Pull the trigger…..

Not only is he an obvious bust as a first round pick, but he is a total liability to the team.

We can all see it with these clowns.  So why can’t our coaches? 

They are either inept or they are the puppets of people who are inept.

I’ll keep pulling for Denver, but I’ll be shocked if we finish better than 7-9.


Let’s make some picks before I get grumpy:


Cincinnati Bengals (+5 ½) @ Atlanta Falcons

I figured that it’s been four weeks since the opening kickoff so I might as well screw myself by picking the Bengals.

You’re welcome Atlanta.  


New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars (-7 ½)

The sports lover in me wants to think that a talented young player like Sam Darnold will take up the mantle of expectation, hoist his team upon his shoulders, and redeem himself after a poor performance.

The part of me that isn’t a dunderhead knows that “Buttfumble Jr.” is playing a pissed off Jags team on the road.



Jacksonville rolls here.  It might be 12 to 3, but they roll nonetheless.


Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots (-6 ½)

For the last 3 years, the Patriots look like they are cooked by week 4.  All across the country, the righteous lift their hands to the Gods of the Gridiron and offer thanks that the evil among us is finally exorcised.



Then they win like 11 straight and play in the Super Bowl again.

I truly believe that the Patriots are finally thast “sinking ship” for which we have all longed for so many moons.  

That having been said, Miami sucks.

Take the Pats to win and cover.


Philadelphia Eagles @ Tennessee Titans (+3 ½)

If I understand correctly, the Super Bowl champion Eagles are taking a 90 minute plane ride to play a team that can’t decide upon an injured Marcus Mariota or a crappy Blaine Gabbert to lead them to a 15th consecutive season of mediocrity.

The aforementioned champions are still sporting an excellent defense, and now with their starting QB back in the lineup, are only favored by slightly more than a field goal.

If this isn’t a trap I don’t know what is.



I’m taking the Titans and the points.

Week 2:  3-1

2018 Record: 9-3
Trap Game Record: 3-0
