Ryan’s Midseason Awards

Here are his nominations for the half-way awards.
An awards season for being almost there.

NFL in London Mid Season Awards

MVP – Christian McCaffrey

No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.

LVP – Baker Mayfield

The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.

Rookie of the Year – Josh Jacobs

Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!

Fantasy Player of the Year – Lamar Jackson

We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.

Other Awards

Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew

First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons

Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.

Take on Ryan in the $100,000 DraftKings contest.

TNF-Chargers v Raiders

by

-1 LA Chargers (4-5) vs LA Raiders (4-4) +48.5

It’s another ruckus night of TNF, as the battle of LA hits the late night NFL session.
Who wins in this battle of the middle of the road teams?

The Chargers are coming off a surprising beatdown of the Green Bay Packers, which had everyone in the NFC North fist-pumping the sky over the humbling of Aaron Rodgers.
They executed a punishing run offence that the Packers struggled to contain.
Melvin Gordon FINALLY had a good game, and Philip Rivers and his anemic O-Line didn’t look as horrible as they normally do.

The Raiders laid a nice little beating on the Lions last week, and were able to sustain a great running game to stifle the feisty cats.
Matt Stafford was impressive in this defeat, and continues to impress even if his team depresses.

The Chargers joy will be short-lived, as the Raiders are actually quite good against the run.
Rivers will once again struggle to connect, but should be able to find a few deep ball burns on the Raiders.
Josh Jacobs will be the key here, gashing the Chargers at will, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to hit 200 yards.

I have the Raiders to stymie the Chargers and get a home win…well technically it’s home to both teams, but doubtful that any Chargers fans will show up.

RAIDERS WIN

Week 9 Picks

by

Our man Wade McElwain continues his thunderous week of picks hitting a sweet 10-4 last week and punching his record for the past 6 weeks to 67-23!!!
Are you kidding me 67-23 in 6 weeks of NFL picks?
74% success rate!!
Why are you not following his advice to win big?

Wade breaks down his week 9 picks, with some keen attention to parlays that might be valuable.

Let’s take a look at the big game between the Texans & Jags.

-1.5 Texans (5-3) vs Jaguars (4-4) +47

The banged up Texans are favoured on a Jacksonville home field. While London home field might sound outrageous, the Jags have been coming here for years, and can settle in quickly.
Losing JJ Watt is going to hurt the Texans, who will struggle to contain Leonard Fournette, who looks to have a stellar game.
Deshaun Watson will find targets, but he will back-foot loads of passes due to the pass rush.
I like the Jags here to irk out a home win in the rain.
Jacksonville WIN.

Bears (3-4) vs -5 Eagles (4-4) +42.5

The Bears are hurting. The offensive line sucks, & Trubisky is (rightly) taking the blame for playing like a college QB. He should never have been signed, but here we are. Chase isn’t an option, so find a way to make this check look down the field, check his receivers, and improvise. Run dang it. If we break you, fine. Run the ball kid.
Eagles are running high and will taunt after knocking the Bears out of the playoffs last year.
Bears COVER

Redskins (1-7) vs -10 Bills (5-2) +37

The Bills are 10 point favourites? You kidding me? When have the Bills ever lived up to that hype? Sure, they should easily beat the Redskins, but not by 10.
Washington is starting to get some juice, and a trip up to stank-NY might be what they need to get McLaurin the ball a butt-load of times.
Washington can keep pace as long as Case can keep spreading the ball. The Bills D will force the ball, so they need to stay focused.
Redskins COVER

-1 (5-2) Colts vs Steelers (3-4) +43.5

The Colts struggled a win last week and their 5-2 record might be a bit deceiving. They had an early bye, but haven’t seemed to find that winning formula yet. Will they be able to put together a power team of scoring & solid D?
Not in this game.
Pittsburgh has been crap. It’s like a family going through a divorce, dad lost his job, and mom discovered meth.
But they’re at home, on the field that Heinz built. Beans baby.
Pittsburgh needs to hold onto the ball and move it around the field. Their D has been fast, just negate the run & TE.
Steelers COVER

We have a new functionality coming out with BetRegal, so we hope to be able to offer you bespoke betting options soon.

Texans/ Jags Afterparty

by

Where you going after the game?
The Jags vs Texans game ends around 6pm, so fans will want to get out as quick as possible.
Unfortunately, at Wembley that won’t happen.
90,000 fans are leaving that stadium all hell-bent on getting out & getting home through every orifice of the stadium.

Instead of heading back to the crushing disappointment of Leicester Square, or the dead zones of Soho…join us at a sweet-ass pub in Crouch End?

This North London boozer has loads of TVs, great food, cold beer and is open until 1am.

Best of all, it’s only a 30 minute Uber from the stadium.

Come on down to the Princess Alexandra, and have a great NFL’ing time!
