Week 13-Sky Sports

by

Another week of NFL, but this is where it starts to get funky.
The Thanksgiving games are always kind of like a blur of happy…like that time between Christmas and New Years, when you can do anything!
Day drink, afternoon drink, lay in your jammies all day.

Unfortunately for us in the UK, we don’t get to celebrate that fattening up event that is Thanksgiving, while our partners are glued to their phones finding Black Friday deals.
We have some NFL hat and jersey deals btw with Fanatics if you’e looking for gifts for your sweetie for the holidays.

Anywho, Sky Sports has released their schedule for this week, which also includes the Thanksgiving games.
Join us Thursday at Belushi’s Camden, where we will be showing all of the NFL games until 1am.

As you might know, if you live in the UK and DON’T have Sky Sports, it can be pretty tricky to watch those games as they will be blocked out. But of course there are ways to get around that.
Redzone is great for 9pm, when there are only 2 games on-as Scott Hanson furiously dives between the two. The blackout doesn’t even matter.

A recent study said that over 60% of NFL fans in the UK get their NFL feed from either Reddit; Facebook, or IPTV. That doesn’t bode well for the the contract is up.

The big game for Sunday is going to be the Ravens vs 49ers. The top D vs the top O.
The Ravens have humbled all but 2 opponents this year, but are now ON FIRE, as they head into the playoff stretch. This is deffo going to be an enjoyable game.

The Raiders vs Chiefs is a great divisional match-up on Sunday evening, with the Raiders starting to build momentum, with the Chiefs struggling to stay afloat.
This should be a high flying affair as well.

Where are you watching the games this Sunday? Join us at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.

Also make sure to join our DraftKings free contests this week, so you can win big.

DraftKings-Week 12 tips

It’s Sunday funday, when you need to frantically set all of your line-ups, chase down any missing pieces in your squad, and if you have to…draft players in.

DraftKings is fun, because it’s daily-so even if you have been sucking in your League this season, you can turn it all around in a fun play contest.
You don’t even need to play for money, there are loads of fun free play contests, including one in our League as well.
Here is our Sunday Funday Weekly Contest. Join now and pay for free each week.

https://www.draftkings.co.uk/draft/contest/81268625

So who do you have in your DraftKings contest this week? Here are some of my top picks to help get your contest sorted.

Ryan Tannehill-QB-TEN-$5300

Ryan Tannehill? Wade…have you lost it? Yes, but that’s not the point. You want to find someone who has value against and easier D, and that’s what old Tannehill has. It’s no secret that the Jags have been playing defensive poo lately, so this should be an easier match-up. Tannehill will hit Derrick Henry in the backfield a lot, which means he could 100 yards just from him. Tannehill hasn’t been playing that badly as of late, and should be of good value to balance out the rest of your squad with a $5300 price tag.

Kareem Hunt-RB-CLE-$5600

Kareem Hunt has been a shell of his former self this season, barely making an impact this season. But that will change this week for a few reasons. They are playing the Dolphins. That’s only one reason, but there are a lot of factors involved in this. The Dolphins will struggle to stop a Browns team that is still smarting from the Myles Garrett incident last week. The Browns are going to want to establish the run to punish the fish, and Hunt looks to play the big role here. The Dolphins will struggle against a power 2 of RBs bang into their line all day. Hunt should factor in at least 1 TD and at $5300, is a steal.

Robbie Anderson-WR-NYJ-$4800

The Raiders & the Jets face off in NY, and the stakes are high for the Jets. They have been able to muster a few wins, and might be able to shake off the mono-rail like performance earlier this season. The Raiders are horrible when it comes to stopping the deep ball, and this is where the Jets should be able to find some momentum. Anderson has got some wheels on him, which means he should be able to find separation to get into the open. At $4800 he is a good deal, just for the amount of yards he will plow through as well. I like him to at least get 1 TD here as the Jets will look to exploit the weak secondary of the Raiders.

Michael Thomas-WR-NO-$9300

Michael Thomas is straight up shattering records this season. He is chucking up the yards and TDs as he continues to have a stellar performance. No one seems to be able to stop him. Given the anemic defense of the Carolina Panthers, he should have another smoking game at home. Once he gets those legs rolling, and uses his height advantage, mere mortals are helpless. He should have a few TDs in this one.

Here are some other dudes you might want to target.

Mike Evans-WR-TB-$7300-Evans looks to have a great game against a Falcons team that can pass rush, but can’t defend deep. Jameis is still putting up big yards, and he should be getting the bulk of the looks.

Joe Mixon-RB-CIN-$5900-The Bengals can’t do anything right, but they can run. In fact, Mixon does most of the work for cats. He should gash some yards in the slot from Driskell as they look to avoid that pass rush.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, which is aptly called NFLinLondon so that you can join in on all the fun.

Wade’s Week 12 Picks

What’s Wade’s top Parlay Tip for Week 3?

Ok folks, I have a triple threat here, which I think will be a winner-winner chicken dinner for your Sunday betting roast. If you like my tips, or they help you out, make sure you follow & subscribe for more tips.

I’m not a betting expert, let’s get this out the gate to begin with. But I do well with NFL. I’m hitting 65% this season which tops most Vegas casino bookies. I’ve averaged 71% in 2018, 67% in 2017 & 70% in 2016. If you don’t believe me we record and post all this crap, so go through the archives.

So let’s bang on with a 3 some of that will treble you a 7.11. Throw £100 on this and you profit £611. Easy peasy. Your money, my goodish advice.

Broncos (3-7) vs -4 Bills (7-3) +38

The Broncos are hurting. Maybe not as much as the Browns, maybe more-but they are hurting. They laid a beatdown on the Vikings only to see it disappear before their foolishness. To have your D swarm, scramble and surround with such ferocity, & then watch the O just do ‘no’, was a sad show.
The Bills are buoyed by Josh Allen’s plucky win over a loser team last week. Make no mistake, this Broncos D is no loser. They are angry. The Bills are at home, then have 4 days to play the rough-riding Cowboys in Dallas.
It’s doubtful the Bills will be fully focused. They have won a few games, but the road ahead is paved with titan teams. Just not the Titans. This might be more a practice game for the Bills, looking at the Thanksgiving roast ahead. Prep your O line for the Broncos, but don’t get hurt enough you’re not ready to beat the Boyz.
Ryan has been unnaturally silence on the Bills success, which has shown his temperance as husband and fan, I respect that, but I also know there is a massive ‘fuck you guys!’ brewing inside & I kind of want to see it.
A Bills fan celebrating is better than a Packers, Cowboys, or Patriots fan any day.
I still see the Broncos winning in this one, the Bills are getting ready for the Cowboy plains showdown.
Broncos Win

-3 Raiders (6-4) vs Jets (3-7)

The Raiders are playing some good Gruden football! There fired up! Yes, the Raiders do posit themselves as the wildest of potential wildcards going into this playoffs, but division winner? That’s a tough ask. So is this game. The Raiders have relied heavily on Josh Jacobs, but their receiving corp is pretty banged up.
The D is banged up, with a secondary looser than a housewife after her third pinot before noon. And just like her they are easy to score on as the night progresses. You end up banging them deep in the back end all night, and yes-I’m talking football. Sort of.  Robbie Anderson could tear up this back end all night long. Oh yeah. But seriously, you might want to add him to your fantasy.

The Jets limited Saquon Barkley to 1 yard last week. 1 yard. So Josh is going to struggle and Carr is going to have to shake and bake against a glowing defence. Sam Darnold is also starting to show the signs of a comatose patient now awake. Maybe it wasn’t mono, maybe it was a genetic implant but the kid is starting to look better. Unlike other QBs of his draft, he displays a real craft for innovation.
I like the Jets here to continue their unrestful behaviour. They are the Raiders of the east coast, and this time the silver and black will be held back.
Jets Win

Seahawks (8-2) vs -1 Eagles (5-5)

Eagles favoured by 1 huh? Huh? Why would that be? The Eagles suck and the Seahawks are totally blaze amaze. Eagles had a 10 point lead on the Patriots last week until a defensive injury set the whole team back. Brady got time, Brady & the D got points. They are playing a fierce level of football now that’s a reflection of the city. Hard, hungry, gritty and an outsider. As a 5-5 team they are gunning for a wildcard spot, they know their division is weak, and like an eagle they are circling. New pieces, new focus, look out. They wild now.

Their counterpart birds the Seahawks are 8-2, but a shaky 8-2. Russell Wilson and the gang seem to be packing horseshoes and hand grenades as they plough though some easy victims on their way to the playoffs. Yeah, they have won some good games, but this one might be different. Tyler Lockett being out is going to limit RW, and Philly shuts down the run like a mutha-trucka. The Seahawks are in a tight spot here, and I don’t like their chances in a cold night in Philadelphia. It’s going to be a rude awakening to the NFC & east coast cold winters. Santa will be here soon Russell, just not tonight.
Eagles Win

So take these 3 bets and you get a 7.11 bet which means this parlay is 7.11 times the value of your bet. Even if you throw £10 down, you will get £71.10, for an overall profit of £61.10.
Take a punt on my parlay, who knows?
