Week 13 DraftKings

by

Are you ready for some football? We’re in the December home stretch of games, as we look at some Week 13 Draftkings picks.
If you haven’t yet joined our DraftKings League, make sure you look for NFL in London, where we play free and paid contests.
It’s free to play, and you can meet some new friends/ enemies every week.

Each week another player hoists the chalice of fantasy points, with Dalvin Cook being one of the big points getters every week. In week 12 Tyreek Hill exploded for 57.9 fantasy points, as he shredded the field for big games. Will Fuller also had a great week with 35.1 points, then tested positive for PID’s, and is gone for the rest of the season. If you had him in Fantasy (like I did), you would be extremely pissed off.

Here are some value picks to look at for Week 13 in the NFL.

QBs

Derek Carr $5800

Remember the adage for NFL Fantasy 2020? Take anyone who is playing the Jets. This week that honour belongs to Derek Carr. Carr is atrocious last week, as the Atlanta Falcons literally took a dump on the Raiders in a vicious beating. Carr will be out for blood this week against the Jets, & with Josh Jacobs out, this could put all the pressure on Carr to connect downfield.

Ryan Fitzpatrick $6000

Tua is a game time decision, so you might want to hold the finger on this one. Brian Flores would be an idiot to start Tua if he is anywhere near injured. I don’t even like the fact that they started him at all this season, as he should have been allowed to cook under Fitzmagic until he was ready. He should have plenty of time against a weakened Bengals D, connecting with Gesicki and Parker all day long .

RBs

Dalvin Cook $9500

It’s Cook versus the Jaguars, and it doesn’t look good for the cats. Jacksonville’s front D has gotten better in the past few weeks, allowing Mike Glennon to attempt to keep the team in the game. While the Vikings might suck in the secondary, all you have to do is give the ball to this guy and watch the points roll in. Yes, he is the priciest for the week, so you might want to consider your options before blowing your load on Cook. That came out wrong.

Giovani Bernard $5200

Joe Mixon is out, which once again heaps the pressure on Bernard to perform. He’s actually done not bad, considering the team is a shell of themselves after losing Joe Burrow. They’ll need Bernard to try to find some holes in that Miami D, which he should do.

WRs

Michael Pittman Jr. $4900

The Colts took a dick-punch last week, and you wonder how long it took them to heal after that tough loss. Pittman has fast become Phillip Rivers go to guy, and he should find some big holes in a weakened Texans squad. Houston is in trouble after being caught in the performance enhancing drugs scandal, and it will show this Sunday.

Jakobi Meyers $5500

The Patriots won last weekend! But Cam Newton had to apologise after it was apparent he had nothing to really do with the win. This should be Cam’s last year in New England, but Meyers should be there a long time after he’s gone. He’s got great hands, and an impressive yards after the catch to boot. Belichick will lean on him often on Sunday in a fast Chargers defence.

Tyler Boyd $4700

Boyd is the best player on a shit team, so you would figure he should see the ball. Allen will have no one to really throw to against the Dolphins, so look for Boyd to find any hole possible. Miami will open up some holes in their D for Boyd to find room, he should be able to get you some solid points for less than $5k.

TEs

Mike Gesicki $5500

A favourite target on the Dolphins squad, Gesicki always seems to find the end zone when you need him. He is quickly emerging as the go-to target for both Tua and Fitzmagic, filling a role greatly needed on this team. He continues to chunk in points, averaging 8.7 fppg.

Robert Tonyan $3700

An even better value is Tonyan, who will be looked at often by Aaron Rodgers. Boasting an impressive 12.5 fppg, Tonyan is used often in the redzone and slot slants. He is a big guy, with big hands and likes to lower the shoulders. He should be looked at often in week 13.

DEF

Colts $3000

Despite a vicious beating last week at the hands of the Titans, the Colts will look to rebound in week 13. For one thing, they don’t have to face Derek Henry once again. Luckily the Texans don’t pose much of a threat after losing loads of players to drugs last week. Houston has a poor O line, so Deshaun Watson could be in for a hell of a day.

Baby Murray

by

Baby Yoda might be the hottest, cutest Christmas toy, but have you heard of Baby Murray?
This decorative, darling figure is the perfect gift for the NFL fan in your household.

Standing just under 6 feet tall, this beaming figure is sure to be the envy of your friends this holiday season.
Just put a ball in front of him, say ‘hike’, and watch Baby Murray do his thing.

Baby Murray is programmed for hours of fun! Tap on his head, and he will perform a series of spin moves to juke his way out of any defence. Double tap and watch his little arm fire a rocket of a pass downfield. And for pure joy, triple tap his helmet and he’ll perfectly execute a Hail-Murray pass, a heave-ho chuck to the end zone where (hopefully) Hopkins will be waiting arms outstretched to make the score.

Order now, and we’ll through in some Groaning Bills Fans, who will made audible screams as the game falls apart in one play.

Baby Murray is a limited time offer, so make sure you get yours exclusively from NFL in London, just one payment of £999.00.

(figure may just be a Cameo message of Kyler Murray laughing at you for believing this was real)

Sky Week 11

by

Ugh, what a tough ride week 10 was in the NFL. Not only were there some massive upsets, but the injury train continued to pick up more players to change the outlook of the season.
The Steelers are undefeated, the Ravens are struggling, and the Bears are a truly awful winning team.
Thankfully week 11 is now here, and the folks at Sky Sports have released their NFL schedule.

TNF

Cardinals vs Seahawks
1:20am Friday

What a game to kick off the week, as two 6-3 teams battle it out on a rainy Seattle Thursday night. The Seahawks have allowed points a plenty in the past few weeks, and something looks wrong with Russell Wilson, can they find their fire again to start cooking?
Kyler Murray is having fun, and it shows. The kid is hustling up the field, chucking bombs, and winning last second games in heroics.
This will be a great match, but most if us in the UK will have to enjoy it in the morning with coffee.

SUNDAY

Titans vs Ravens
6:00pm Sunday

An AFC battle for the ages, as two teams struggling to get a grips on their season face off to see who will be one of the contenders for the title.
Tennessee has been having troubles lately, as teams focus on Henry, they make Tannehill scramble and it hasn’t been going well. The Titans o-line is leaky, and their d is struggling to contain big plays.
The Ravens took a tough punch to the chin from the Patriots in week 10, highlighting the buckets of problems they have scoring. Lamar is not playing with his same intensity and he needs to get out of the funk.

Packers vs Colts
9:25pm Sunday

Aaron vs Philip in a Sunday night fight. This will be a big contest to see who has the mojo into the inal stretch of the regular season.
Green Bay was in tough against the Jaguars last week, as the Jacksonville D heaped all sorts of pressure on Rodgers .
The Colts have found their winning ways again, with an improved D, and Nyheim Hines taking over for Taylor in the running scheme.
This will be a great night in the dome to close out your Sunday.

Chiefs vs Raiders
1:25am Monday

The last of the Sunday night on Sky games brings us this epic AFC game. The last time these two teams played this season, the Raiders thumped the Chiefs and we all know how Mahomes deals with grudges.
Kansas City is healthier than the last game, with loads of holes plugged not to mention a well deserved bye week last week.
The Raiders are winning, but not consistent. They beat themselves more than other teams at times, and will need their A-game if they want to hold off the champs.

MNF

Rams vs Bucs
1:20am Tuesday

The Rams might be 6-3, but they sure don’t play like it. Just like Tampa, they are prone to inconsistent play and focus.
Goff is not shaping into the QB everyone talked about. He looks uneasy and sluggish at times, and the running game has yet to fully develop.
TB12 has loads of weapons at his disposal, so why is he struggling to use them. AB has flashes and Mike Evans hasn’t been seen this season, Tommy needs to get some routes in order so that he can feed these guys on big plays.

Sadly we still don’t have any live events planned yet due to this sucky virus.
It looks like the Super Bowl is also in doubt, but we will let you know.

Sky Week 10

by

Well that was a bit of a sucky week 9 wasn’t it? From upsets, to blow-outs, from injuries, to way more injuries. The 2020 season sure knows how to build excitement!

That excitement continues in week 10, as Sky has released their TV schedule for all of those in Britain who watch the games on telly.
An FYI for those who don’t know, but these games will be blacked out on UK Gamepass, but can be accessible if your Gamepass isn’t set to the UK.
Here are all the games that they are showing this week.

TNF

Colts vs Titans
1:20am GMT (Friday)

‘Turgid Night Football’ is usually what happens in the wee hours for us Brits, waking up to see we missed an actual turd of a game. Luckily this week brings us an AFC bonanza, as two top teams crash it out early Friday morning.
The Colts lost a massive game to the Ravens last week after a late game collapse, while the Titans irked one against the lowly Bears.
This should be a great game, even if you only watch it the next day.

SUNDAY

Bucs vs Panthers
6:00 GMT

It’s TB12 vs TBw, as Tom Brady looks to avenge his savage beating at the hands of the Saints in Week 9. Teddy B will be looking to lead his Panthers in a divisional upset of the Bucs and Antonio Brown.
Tom Brady will be angry in this one, as it is always cute to see his angry face.
This game will either be close, or a nasty blow out.

Bills vs Cardinals 
9:25 GMT

Once again the Bills are on Sky, pissing off thousands of Buffalo fans who can’t watch their team if they don’t have Sky. Please don’t contact us about this, we have nothing to do with the scheduling at Sky.
Both of these teams played in Week 9 on Sky, which is lazy programming to bring them back the next week.
This isn’t even the best 9pm game, so not sure why Sky continues to anger fans.

Ravens vs Patriots
1:20am GMT (Monday)

This game would have been great a year ago, but Tommy is gone, and Cam is a shell of his former self. The Ravens need to keep winning to stay on pace with Pittsburgh, while the Patriots need to win to avoid being traded to a rub and tug by Robert Kraft.
Not to many people will stay up for this one, but who knows with lockdown.
This game is also available on Gamepass.

MNF

Vikings vs Bears
1:20am GMT (Tuesday)

If you hate Tuesdays, then stay up late and watch this nugget of an NFC North matchup. The Bears have been in a Foles-free-fall as of late, while the Vikings can only rely on Dalvin Cook to score.
The Bears should have a chance if they can take advantage of the paltry secondary that Minnesota plays. Not worth staying up for, but good to watch when you’re making the kids breakfast the next day.

TNF Packers vs 49ers

by

America is on life support this week, as it flatlines from its most recent election. Biden, Trump, Kanye? It’s anyone’s guess, but the real eyes should be on the Bay area this week, as the 49ers host Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on Thursday night.
Sure, American polling stations might be burning, but the real burn will be the anger in Rodgers eyes as he attempts to avenge a week 8 loss.

49ers

The 49ers are a total mess after week 8. Not only have they lost Jimmy G, George Kittle, Wilson Jr, and Mostert, they also lost lost Nick Bosa and Dee Ford on the D.
If you’re on San Fran’s practice squad, there’s a pretty good chance you’re playing on Thursday night.
This really could be the end for the 49ers this season in their competitive division. Losing the next few games will definitely push them beyond repair, as some of their top guys will be gone for the season.
As much as we all would love to see Nick Mullens pull a season saver out of his ass, he’ll need to be able to throw accurately over 8 yards, which has eluded him thus far in the season.
San Francisco is on its way to being the NY Jets of the NFC, they just don’t know it yet.

Packers

The Packers got stuffed last Sunday at Lambeau thanks to Dalvin Cook. They had no answer for him as he romped for 4 touchdowns and 200+ yards. Cook was a fantasy hero, and thankfully I had him on my squad, as well as choosing the Packers not to cover.
Aaron Rodgers is a beast after a loss, going 31-15 against the spread in the week following one.
Green Bay is also hit by the injury/ Covid bug, as it looks like all of their running backs could be out. Rodgers is going to have to toss the ball on Thursday, which shouldn’t be a problem against the 49ers secondary which is down & dusted as well.
No one will be able to smother Davante Adams, which should lead to a stellar game for him.

Prediction

The 49ers are far too hobbled to cause problems for anyone this season going forward. They went from a ‘chasing the playoffs year’, to ‘shut up and rebuild year’ in one single week.
Aaron Rodgers will be looking to avenge his Sunday loss, and the poor 49ers will pay the price.
Rodgers is a California boy, and he should feel right at home in this game.
