Week 2 Preview

by

Week 2 is here as we all move on from the uneven shakes of the opening week.

Wade and Ryan had respectable betting weeks despite some crazy games, and this week they off you some of their big game advice to help you make your betting or fantasy picks in this Week 2 Preview podcast.

The guys offer up their break down on every game, as well as offer some betting tips, game insight and some DFS options.
Make sure you listen to the whole thing to absorb all the nuggets of gold.

Among some of the big games the guys discuss in this episode includes:

Saints (1-0) -3.5 vs Panthers (1-0)  +44.5

New Orleans is still shaking after an epic beat down of the Packers last week, so you wonder if they’re going to be fully honed after an epic upset.
Carolina shook of the ghosts of Week 1’s past to rally past the hapless Jets in a much needed W for the return of C Mc.

Ryan likes the Saints to continue their winning ways here, as he likes Jameis and the boys to get it done on the Panthers.

Wade however thinks that Carolina isn’t done upsetting people, and this home game will propel them to 2-0 with a cheeky upset against the Saints.

Prediction:

Ryan- Saints 27-20
Wade- Panthers 31 Saints 26

Bills (0-1) -3.5 vs Dolphins (1-0)  +42.5

Buffalo got stunned last week like the whole city ate a suicide wing at once. Pittsburgh shut down the blue machine from upstate New York, and made their case for leading the AFC.

Miami got the job done against BB and the Patriots, doing what other teams in the AFC East call ‘God’s work’.

Ryan likes his Bills to regain some ‘justice’ here, with a solid win over the Miami Dolphins, and a chance to get back in the division race.

Wade however likes the Dolphins to continue their September winning ways at home. Hurricane season blows in hard, taking out autumn visitors with abandon. He likes the fish at home to challenge the Bills and their lack of running game.
He thinks the Bills will win, just not cover.

Prediction:

Ryan-Bills 31 Dolphins 24
Wade-Bills 24 Dolphins 23

49ers (1-0) -3 vs Eagles (1-0)  +50

Points a plenty in this game, as both teams are coming off victories at the hands of inferior opponents.

San Fran is once again leaking running backs, in a troubling sign early on in the season. Jimmy G is still holding court, but the Lance of Trey is only a heartbeat away from piercing his long term plans.

Jalen is the man in Philly, and is finally showing that this is his team. With the addition of speedy youngsters, and new D, the Eagles look to fly this year, if they can stay healthy.

Wade is big on the Eagles this week, and Ryan has joined the flock in believing that they can flip the cart on San Fran this week.

Loads of fantasy points in this game, so make your picks carefully!

Prediction:

Ryan-Eagles 27 49ers-25
Wade-Eagles 31 49ers-27

Raiders (1-0) vs Steelers (1-0) -6  +47

The Raiders and Steelers both were able to take their underdog titles to victory in Week 1, in a surprise to many pundits of the NFL.

Las Vegas used their home advantage to shock the Ravens core, giving Carr plenty of chances to spread the love. Key injuries might have gone too far in helping this week however.

Pittsburgh beat the darling Bills last week, and showed the world how tough and ready their D is this season. Can they go 11-0 to start the season again this year?

Ryan is backing the Raiders once again, thinking that the Steeler team that dispatched his Bills so easily will finally face their match. He doesn’t think that the Raiders will win, but just cover.

Wade thinks that the Steelers will roll on, taking advantage of the injury to RB Josh Jacobs, and punishing Carr with their relentless D.

Prediction:

Ryan-Steelers 24 Raiders 21
Wade-Steelers 30 Raiders 23

Make sure you listen to the whole podcast to get all the tips!
Listen, laugh, share, repeat.

Join us Week 2 at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, where we will be showing plenty of games.

Week 1 Review

by

The NFL is officially back, and we can confirm that some beatings were handed out in style on Sunday, as we tip this podcast with our Week 1 Review.

Wade and Ryan both went 10-7 on Week 1, which isn’t bad considering how many upsets were flipped.
Both guys had some solid tips that turned into rocking picks, but also missed some glaring big opportunities on the board. (Hello Texans!)

In this podcast, Wade and Ryan look back at week 1 in the NFL, and how they fared with their betting brains.

Make sure that you join us this Sunday at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street, where we will be showing all the games, as well as running a few DraftKings contests for your chance to win big!
Remember, we are giving away a set of tickets to the Dolphins vs Jaguars at Tottenham in our Week 3 contest, so join away there!

Here are some of the games we look at in this episode.

Eagles vs Falcons

Wade was all over Philly and Hurts, pegging this one as a big upset over the host Falcons.
Ryan figured Matt Ryan would find a way to win this one, although he never did.
The Eagles beat the heck out of Atlanta on Sunday with a solid combination of a dual running game, great new receivers, and an inspired Jalen Hurts.
Philly truly could be special this year.

Steelers vs Bills

To say Ryan was gutted in this result is an understatement.
The Steel curtain of D was all over Buffalo and thwarting Josh Allen’s ability to get going.
Despite being a 5.5 point underdog, Pittsburgh was able to frustrate a home crowd and their chances at going all the way in the AFC.
It did make this conference a whole lot more interesting though.

Cardinals vs Titans

Wade called this game the best DFS opportunity of the week, and boy was he right.
Kyler and co. pounded the hapless Titans D relentlessly, making Tannehill look like a chump in his own house.
Not only was Murray able to spread the ball, but the Arizona D was able to spread Tannehill out with repeated sacks.
Ryan thought his Titans would reign supreme, but now the world is looking at them to get it together if they have any chance in the AFC.

Seahawks vs Colts

Wade was sure that the hometown Colts would be able to buck away the limp Seattle D and establish their running game.
Ryan was chanting ‘Russ! Russ! Russ!’ ahead of this match, confident that RW would be able to rally the troops together.
Ryan got this one right, as the Seahawks actually looked good in this one.

Packers vs Saints

Hahahahahahahaha.

Bears vs Rams

Wade thought his Bears might put up some sort of fight against the LA D, but it wasn’t to be.
Matt Stafford had a career high night, and Justin Fields stayed healthy…so there’s that.
Chicago is going to need to find some resolve to win some of these tough games ahead in a weak ass division.

Ravens vs Raiders

Ryan was sure that the Las Vegas Raiders would roll big dice in their home opener against the Ravens, and boy was he right.
This exciting game was an up and down affair, with the Raiders coming out with an inspired win.

How many of our picks did you take?
What was you pick of the week?

Make sure that you listen in to our upcoming Week 2 podcast, where we make our picks for the Week 2 games.

Here’s a link to the podcast. Listen responsibly.

Week 2 London

by

Week 1 is done and dusted, and what a crazy week that was.

From an insane Bucs demolition of the Cowboys, to the Packers cheesing it up, and the Falcons getting battered…again…it’s nice to have the NFL back.

With another set of games on the way, we wanted to let you know some places in the city to watch Week 2 London.

Old Street

The Sports Bar and Grill Old Street is one of the most amazing sports bars in the city.

With over 40+ TVs, booths with their own TVs, pool tables, and NFL in every corner, you can’t go wrong with the Sports Bar Old Street.

Located directly across from the tube station, this newly renovated pub smells and looks great. (something you don’t get from most sports bars!)

Better still, the SB&G Old Street is open until 12:30am Sunday night, allowing you to watch the second set of games, finish your drinks, and not feel to be rushed out the door.

Our team will be there for Week 2, running a few DraftKings contests if you feel like playing along.
Make sure you’re there for week 3, as we are giving away 2 tickets to Dolphins vs Jaguars to our contest winner.

Best of all, Old Street is one of the biggest rail hubs in the city.
It’s well served by the tube, national rail and stops north and south of the city until midnight.

The pub offers Sky Sports, Redzone and Gamepass.

Clapham

If you’re in south London, why not pop into the Sports Bar & Grill Clapham?

Located right off the high street, this lovely sports bar is full of 30+ TVs, great food, and close to one of the most hopping high streets in London.

The Sports Bar & Grill Clapham is proud to promote the NFL every Sunday, and their hospitable staff will do what they can to make sure that you can watch the game you want, paired with great food and drink.

The SB&G Clapham is open until 11pm, which means that you can watch the first set of games and part of the next set, but sadly they will not show the 9pm games in their entirety.

South London is your next NFL destination, make sure that you get in touch so that you can book  table for Sunday.

https://www.sportsbarandgrill.co.uk/clapham/party-booking

The pub offers Sky Sports, Redzone and Gamepass.

Crouch End

Although there is no tube station in Crouch End, it’s very close to many transport links to central London and beyond.

The Princess Alexandra Pub is a lovely little boozer that has plenty of TVs and great burgers, wings and beer.

Close to Finsbury Park station, as well as Hornsey rail station and the W7 bus, visitors to the Alex can be at Kings Cross station in less than 20 minutes.

The pub is also VERY close to Tottenham Hotspur stadium, which means it’s a great place to party before the games and after.
It’s a 15 minute bus ride on the W3 direct to the stadium, so you can be in the pub in no time after the game.

Let us know if you want us to book you a table at the Princess Alex for a Sunday!

It’s a very celeb neighbourhood, so you never know who might be watching the games with you!

That’s it this week for NFL pubs we can recommend.

Sadly, too many places don’t actually care about NFL fans, and won’t even start the games until AFTER the 4:30pm Premier League game is over.

Other venues might show it one week, then forget the next…or a new manager might just decide to cancel showing it.
One thing you won’t find in the UK, is NFL consistency!

The pubs we listed above, are the best places in London to catch the games.

See you Sunday!

 

Sky Week 2

by

For those of us that live in the UK, there is a tinge of sadness that we don’t get to watch all the NFL games.

To find out which games will be blacked out in England, we point you to the games on Sky Week 2.
Luckily, some of them stink so there are others to watch.

A true NFL fan abroad will invest in Gamepass, which is a way to watch MOST of the NFL games, as well as a whole host of replays, options and other programs.

Sadly, if Sky Sports is showing a game, it will be blacked out on Gamepass, forcing viewers to either fork out money for Sky Sports, watch another game, or just flip on the VPN.

The gang on Sky Sports bust their humps every week to push out of a broadcast from their Osterley studios.
For many viewers, they are a UK institution…for others….well, just read the forums.

TNF

Sky Sports shows TNF, as does Gamepass and Amazon.
To be honest, Amazon offers the bets show here, as the streaming quality and broadcast team are heads and tails above the rest.
With rumours circling that Amazon is planning on buying ALL the NFL rights, it seems logical that they play around with it to get it right first.

49ers vs Eagles

6pm GMT

20 years ago, this would have been one heck of a contest…in 2021…not so much.

Both teams are coming off of wins, but also coming off of a playoff less season.
Everyone is throwing heat at these two franchises early on, forgetting what a steaming pile that they both were only a few months ago.

In week 1, both of thee teams won…beating Detroit and Atlanta…dumpster fire central in terms of franchises.
Now they get to beat up each other…except it won’t go as easy, and as fun to watch as last week.

Sky Sports will be showing this game which looks to be a defensive battle of few points, turnovers and oodles of penalties.
Given this, there should be plenty of commercial breaks, which gives the Sky team a little more face time.

Like a child’s drawing, this looks good on paper, but there’s nothing else really to do with it.

Cowboys vs Chargers

9pm GMT

Dak & the boys head to the coast to take on the fast paced LA Chargers in a half empty stadium, in a game that really isn’t the best of the rest.

After getting humbled by TB12 & the Bucs last week, the Cowboys will be looking to use that extra time to plug some holes that Tommy boy shredded through their back side.

Justin Herbert and the boys will be smarting from a tough Washington game last week, that saw them rip Fitzmagic from the fabric of space, time and shoulder.
Joey Bosa and company are going to make Dak’s life hell for the second week in a row.

If you DO want to watch this game, just an FYI that it is on Sky Sports, and you WON’T be able to access it regularly through Gamepass UK.

Chiefs vs Ravens

1:30am GMT

Who stays up at this unGodly hour?
True NFL fans!

There won’t be too many places that show this game live in London on a Sunday night, and if you go, you might be missing an internal organ or two.
(Central London late at night gets stabby)

This game is also on Sky Sports as well as Gamepass.
You won’t have a delay on Gamepass.

That’s it for the Sky Sports schedule this week for week 2.

Hope you join us this Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street for 40+ TVs of NFL action.

See you Sunday.
