*This is the ONLY contest to win the tickets.

Maybe you would like to party with us before and after the game in London as well?
Totally do able!

The Party

Join us this Sunday as we host a DraftKings party live at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street.

The bar is open until 12:30am, which gives us plenty of time to figure out who won the whole shebang.

Our team will have a live DraftKings board hooked up to show all the players and results, so that you can watch as you climb up the ranks with every brilliant DFS move.

Reservations are recommended for this one, as we expect to have a busy night of great NFL games, cold beer and hot wings.

Make sure that you enter your lineup prior to the 6pm cut off so that you don’t miss out on all the action.

Come say hi to the team and you could win some fantastic DraftKings prizes as well.

The Contest

We have made the Florida Panhandle a $5 contest to keep it interesting.

With only a $5 entry and less than 250 players in the contest, the odds are pretty good that you have a shot at going to watch the Floridians fight it out in October, to win those NFL tickets.

It is a classic DK contest, featuring the 13 earliest games on Sunday September 26th 2021.

If you haven’t already joined our DraftKings League, you can do so here.

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.

Want to book a table?
Just click here and you’re ready to roll.

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.

 

 

Welcome to Clapham

by

Clap hands everyone as we celebrate the return of the NFL to leafy Clapham in south London.
We’re proud to be working with the Sports Bar and Grill down there, as we extend a hearty Welcome to Clapham.

For those of you unfamiliar with London, Clapham is in the south part of the city, located just within Lambeth.
Traditionally, the only way to get there was via the Northern Line (tube), but with new rail lines popping up every year, Clapham has more ways to fit you in.

Sports Bar & Grill

Located conveniently near Clapham Common Tube station, the Sports Bar and Grill is a beautifully updated Sports Bar right in the heart of south London.

Very close to the green pastures of the Common, as well as the lovely high street, the Sports Bar and Grill is the definition of a community pub.

NFL Sunday nights are a new thing for this location, and they are keen to work with fans to ensure that you can get to watch all the games that you’re looking for.
The bar will offer Sky Sports NFL games, as well as Redzone, and a selection of featured games, so that you can have the game you want, delivered right to your table.

Wings, burgers and cold beers await you as this fresh and vibrant location.

NFL fans won’t have to wait for the Premier League to finish, as the NFL will be set up on dedicated TVs and an area just for NFL fans to gather.

Unlike the Old Street location, Clapham will ONLY show the early games on Sunday (6pm), as the bar closes at 11pm GMT.
They will be looking to add special event nights, and late night pop ups throughout the season so that fans can get stuck in for a great night in.

Here’s the website for more information and bookings:

https://www.sportsbarandgrill.co.uk/clapham

Bookings

We encourage all NFL fans planning on attending at the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Booking ahead guarantees you a table, and can even allow us to screen your game at a table just for you and your friends.
Your own game, at your own table.
This is a whole new NFL in London.

London Games

For any of you staying in south London during the 2021 London games, make sure you consider the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham as your pre and post party location.
Direct trains can get you north to the stadium in under an hour, and after the game you can avoid the traffic by grabbing a fast train south.

Book now for the London games, and we can set you and your group up with an unforgettable night!

If you would like a custom NFL night at the Sports Bar & Grill, get in touch!

We can help you plan the best NFL viewing nights for you and your friends.

See you Sunday!

 

Early SuperBowl Picks

by

The 2021-2022 NFL season has yet to begin, but the excitement and anticipation is palpable.
COVID is starting to put itself in the rearview mirror, and all eyes are on the big prize as to who will hoist the Lombardy Trophy next.
To kick off the speculation and potential big bets, we have made some of our Early SuperBowl Picks.

Making early Super Bowl predictions can either make you look like a genius, or a flipping fool, but if you don’t take a chance on the wager, you’ll never know.

Betting

One would think that the big betting companies would have oodles of options and betting possibilities for wagering on who will be in the big game in February 2022…no dice.
Despite NFL fans wanting to start spending their cash, and testing their luck, there aren’t any betting sites where you can input two teams, and find out what the odds of those two teams meeting in LA next year.
Instead, if you want to make a bet on this, you’ll just have to find a friend who is willing to take the odds you give them.
Get it together betting industry!!!

SuperBowl LVI

The big game takes place on Sunday February 13th at the punchy Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles hasn’t hosted a Superbowl since 1973, so this will be a truly glam slam thank you ma’am kind of affair.
Teams who host the SuperBowl have the motivation to make it to the big game and thrive under the spotlight of the home fans, just like the Bucs were able to bask under last year.

Tampa Bay Bucs vs Kansas City Chiefs

Repeat! Repeat!
Despite the overwhelming odds of an unlikely return to the Bowl of the Bucs and Chiefs, both teams are heavily favoured to return to the big game at the end of the season.
The Chiefs (+500) and Bucs (+950) are poised for big things this year again, but will they both have the mustard to be able to make it to the big show after an extra week of regular games.
Injuries were the reigning star of the 2020 season, so it figures that this will have a massive affect on the closing records of both teams.
The Bucs are geared and steered towards a repeat, while the Chiefs will be hungry to avenge the beating that they took in front of the world.
Our odds on this: +2300

Buffalo Bills vs Green Bay Packers

Josh Allen and the Bills are the soft faves of many NFL fans around the world.
Their plucky play, snowy disposition and insane fans make Sundays even more Fundays.
The Bills mafia have put their team at +1200 to make it to Cali in February, which is respectable given their top 4 placing last season.
The Packers (+1200) have one last shot before the franchise goes into hibernation in 2022.
Aaron Rodgers has made it no secret that this is his last year in GB, and the team better do something to make him happy.
There is an even better chance that the soft egos in Lambeau implode before they actually make it to the playoffs, but some fans are wishing and hoping that A-A-Ron can help the fans answer all of their questions ‘Jeopardy-Style’.
Our odds on this one: +3800

Indianapolis Colts vs San Francisco 49ers

The Colts  have Good King Wentz-CilAss  straight trippin’ this year, as Indy fans try to recover from a trip down Philip Rivers last season.
Indianapolis (+2900) has been popping up on computer models in great frequency as of late, due to an impressive D, O-line, and solid running play from Jonathan Taylor.
If the computer says ‘yes’ to them being good this season, why not take a punt on them.
San Francisco (+1400) is another nugget that the computers have been pinging for a post season run.
Whether it’s Jimmy G, or Trey Lance the 49ers are post season faves thanks to a ridiculous defence and solid coaching.
The 49ers have been injury plagued for the past few years, so maybe this is the year where they are able to be healthy enough to make a run.
Indy vs San Fran? Could be a good game.
Our odds on this: +5500

Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns

It’s the battle of the working class, as the Brownies look for a chance to make the playoffs, and the Bears hope to be able to win a playoff game.
Chicago (+6000) is on the low, low end of the playoff spectrum, thanks to iffy play over the past few seasons of Mitch Trubisky.
Pace and Nagy bought the farm with Justin Fields, so all hope will rest on the young Buckeyes phenom.
The NFC North is a tough division, but a post season run is not impossible.
Cleveland (+2000) has been putting all the pieces together over the past few seasons, but have yet to get close to solving the puzzle.
The Browns have a serious chance of pushing through their division and potentially taking advantage of injuries from teams like the Chiefs and Bills.
Sure, this is a fan hopeful game, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a far gone conclusion.
Our odds on this game: +9300

LA Chargers vs LA Rams

The Battle for Los Angeles sounds like some sort of post apocalyptic nightmare, or a great title for the upcoming Super Bowl.
The Chargers (+3000) got a hefty dollop of Herbert last year, and NFL fans were treated to a fantasy stud that has all the makings of a quality, career QB.
Despite horrible coaching and injury gaps a plenty, the Chargers looked quite respectable in his debut.
LA Rams (+1300) on the other hand were missing one key piece in their puzzle, that being former Lion tamer Matthew Stafford.
Aaron Donald is a beast of a freak, and should return to causing panic and mayhem on O lines.
With Cam Akers out for the season with injury (don’t draft him) the Rams will need to get a running back if they have any hope of making the post season, but luckily we’re early in in the season.
An LA vs LA Super Bowl in LA?
Damn, that would be one heck of a game!
Our odds on this game: (+4500)

We will be throwing wicked Super Bowl parties this year, so hopefully you can join us for the big game.
