So who are you choosing for your tea this weekend?
Who will give you the most bang for your buck for the points?

Let’s take a look at some of the dudes I have selection for my Wildcard DraftKings team.

QB

Deshaun Watson ($6400)

Of the 8 QBs playing this weekend, DW is the fastest, most scrambling QB of the bunch. With a bevy of WRs at his disposal, Watson will be looking to torch the Bills secondary. Buffalo has a fast front, so also look for him to dump the ball off, short pass it and of course run the ball. A good deal at $6400.

RB

Alvin Kamara ($7400)

Sure, the Vikings have a fast front D, but they also have to worry about Michael Thomas and Drew Brees. The Vikings will look to stop Kamara, but they may not be able to catch on to his pass options. Kamara will cause havoc in the backfield as he gashes them for yards. A bit pricey, but worth it.

WR

N’Keal Harry ($4100)

The Patriots have used Harry sparingly with good results throughout the season. When it comes to the blustery playoffs, TB12 will be looking at players who can both run and catch for short yardage. Enter N’Keal, who can do both. He won’t be the number one all day, but he will be used in strong situations where they need someone to beast it across the line, or for those redzone toss ups where the big man gets it. A steal at $4100.

TE

Jacob Hollister ($4300)

He was THIS close last week against the 49ers, and there’s a good chance we will see a lot of him this week. He can muscle his way up the middle, and has a big frame that’s hard to take down once he gets going. Hollister is coming up as one of Russell Wilson’s favourite targets, so he should get plenty of action this week given the injuries to the team. A good value TE at $4300,

DEF

Saints ($3000)

I like to look at the biggest point spreads when determining what D to take in DraftKings. For one thing, they will be losing and need to stage a comeback. Desperation yields necessity, and I necessarily think that the Vikings will go into a hole on Sunday. The Vikings like to do deep, so that means the ball will be up in the air a lot against a tough Saints D. For $3000 they have value.

Let’s break down the games and reasoning starting with.

AFC

Bills (10-6) vs -2.5 Texans (10-6) +42.5

The Bills have put together a pretty swell season this year. They outperformed everyone’s expectations, and Josh Allen has settled in nicely-using his legs to blast through weak defences.
The Texans have been plagued by injuries, and the D has struggled with injuries. Their real weapon has been the feisty Deshaun Watson, who humbles the opposition.
For me the real marker here is how they both played the Patriots.
The Texans smothered and deep choked the Pats en route to an easy victory.
The Bills however saw what the Titans will see later, a team in control.
Buffalo just doesn’t have enough tools to keep this one tight enough.
The Texans will be motivated at home, with JJ Watt looking to return to pump up this Texas sized reception.
Texans will just be too much for them.
Texans 24  Bills 20

Titans (9-7) vs -5 Patriots (12-4) +44

‘You lost to Miami’. That sentence will be ringing in the ears of all of the Pats this season.
It won’t sound very nice to them, and will serve as motivation this week.
They dismantled the Bills a few weeks ago, and it’s hard not to see how they won’t get back to that form.
A storm near Henry is looming over Foxboro stadium, and coincidentally it might look like Derek Henry.
Billy B always shuts down at least one piece of the opposition, so who will it be this week?
AJ Brown, Henry or Tannehill?
Weather will be a factor here, so look at taking the over.
When it comes to the final, it’s hard not to imagine the Patriots putting on a clinical operation on the Titans in a long, boring game.
Patriots 23 Titans 14

NFC

Vikings (10-6) vs -8 Saints (13-3) +49.5

Drew Brees at home in a dome. All of these things don’t point to a good result for the Vikings. Add to that the insult of the Diggs catch a few years ago, and you can see how the Saints would be motivated. Brees has been crushing records this season, and the team is riding high on his supply.
The Vikings are welcoming back their soldiers from injury. Cook and Thielen will be back in this game, but how healthy will they be against this tough Saints D?
While I like the Saints to win, I think the spread in this one is too high.
The Vikings have deep ball threat, and Zimmer will be looking to shake up the momentum of the Saints.
The Saints will win, but not by 8.
Saints 31 Vikings 24

-1.5 Seahawks (12-4) vs Eagles (9-7) +45

It beggars the mind that a 12-4 team would be a visitor in the playoffs, but here we are.
The Seahawks have been grounded this season by their running game.
They have been so devastated that they have resorted to Old Skittles, aptly name because his raging body sounds like a bag of Skittles when you shake it.
The Eagles are injured too, but their real injury is a mental one.
They haven’t really beaten anyone of respect this season, and they don’t exude the tools to win a championship.
Then there’s Russell Wilson, aka the Difference-Maker.
Seahawks 26 Eagles 20

Cry Me a Phillip Rivers

by

‘How you doin’ PR?’
That’s right, Phillip Rivers is now a single, swinging man and everybody wants a piece!
Just to clarify, he is happily married-but without a team.
So where could he end up next year?
Loads of teams might be looking to snag this handsome QB, and get them to lead their team, but is he worth it?

The Pros
-He’s an 8 time Pro Bowl nominee
-He had a PR of 105.5 average in 2018
-He was a first round draft pick in 2004
-His career PR of 96.0 is 8th best

The Cons
-He’s 38 years old
-He’s played for 17 seasons
-He has never won a SuperBowl
-He deteriorated hugely in 2019
-He might have had all of his motivation sapped.

So who would want, and who would need a player like Rivers? Here are a few teams that might want to give him a look see.

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts ran outta Luck in 2019, or he ran out of them-causing a huge sinkhole in their future. Jacoby Brissett played well in his absence, but is he the guy you want to structure a team around?
With a crowded floor of losers looking for a QB in the NFL Draft 2020, it might be a leap to expect that they can get anyone good. The Colts have enough weapons leftover from this year, including an underused TY Hilton who would thrive under Rivers. The O Line played fantastically, so he would have time-something that the Chargers couldn’t give him.
More importantly, he would have home fans.
Haven’t had those in a while.

Carolina Panthers

Are we looking at a wham-bam-thank you Cam dynasty in Carolina? With a woeful season in 2019, the Panthers cleaned house in many ways and are looking for someone who can carry the team forward. Sure, Christian McCaffrey carried the team on his back, but image if he ever got hurt? They would be screwed royally.
Rivers was born in Alabama, so it might make sense to return closer to home in an NFC team.
He could be a good fit with the team, and is a born leader that could motivate the team in tough situations.

Chicago Bears

Yes, the Bears have Mitch Trubisky. But Chicago is seeing some of the worst gun violence in recent decades. If random people are getting shot so frequently, imagine what a target someone like Trubisky makes? Rivers wouldn’t be anybody’s back-up, and this is just conjecture-but what an addition he would make for this team! Bears fans are fuming after their D was essentially let down by a lacklustre offence this season, so it would serve them well to get a winner in the pocket just in case.

Denver Broncos

You filthy slut! Going to a division rival? Dirty girl. While PR would be a great alternative to the trash bags that Elway continues to chuck on the field, there is NO WAY that they would trade him to a division rival. It would be an interesting fit though. The Broncos have an emerging running game, and if they drafted a bulked up O Line, he could have time to torch the opposition with ease. No way that Chargers would do this, but it would be an interesting trade to see through. Maybe try it on Madden and see how it goes?

Washington Redskins

Dwayne Haskins is fun to watch. That doesn’t mean he is necessarily good, just fun to watch.
The Redskins played plucky football this season, and they weren’t totally out of every game, even though they were on the ass end of a losing season. They will draft well next year, and just need that missing element to get them up the division. Heck, 4 more wins this season and they could have won the sucker, so it won’t take much to usurp the top dawgs in this filthy pound.

San Angeles Los Chargers

Who are they and where do they play again? Since the team left the sunny fields of San Diego, the ship has sunk faster than the Titanic. Loyal fans were pissed the team was moved, and they took it out by not going to the games. LA fans already had the Raiders and Rams, so why would you want a golden haired stepchild to add to the mix? The Chargers could offer PR another 2 year contract to keep him in til he’s 40. But is he really motivated? Sure, he has 17 kids in school in the area, so he may not want to move. But maybe a mid-life crisis is necessary?

Dolphin’d

by

Hahahahahahhahahaha!
Ok, got that out of the way.

The New England Patriots looked absolutely anemic in their beating by the Dolphins on Sunday night, and raises some big, furry eyebrows as to how their going to progress in the playoffs.

They just needed to win, and they were through to home field advantage in the playoffs.
How hard could it be to beat the Dolphins?
Ryan Fitzpatrick and is his beard?

The Dolphins played off their heads, challenging the Pats at home and making the New England defense look befuddled.
Fitzmagic sprinkled his dust all over the field, hitting targets at will and moving the ball with ease.

The Patriots were expected to be on return form after their handling of the Bills last week, so what happened here?

It’s hard to say really, as Tom Brady actually looked human.
When was the last time you saw TB12 throw a pick six?
Well, he did.

Instead of having a week off, the Patriots have to face off against the Titans next week in a chilly grudge match.
The Titans were able to dismantle the Texans with ease on Sunday.
This was the Texans team who beat the Patriots a few weeks ago, so it doesn’t look good for the Pats heading into a match-up with Henry and Tannehill.

‘Do your job’.
Obviously that wasn’t done.

Join us at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden to watch this late match up on Saturday night.

We will also be offering some great betting options with BetRegal that night.

Join in our DraftKings League where you can also win some great cash and prizes.

See you next weekend.
