After Game-Enfield

by

After Game-Enfield is our look at what to do in the neighbouring Enfield, just a scoot from the game. Those of you attending the London games might be wondering, what’s going on once my game is finished at 6pm?
Well, we have some options for you in this post, as we look at things to do around Enfield.
Wait, where?

Location

A little north-west of the stadium sits the community of Enfield, an up and coming little nugget of party on the tip of London.

Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Tottenham stadium, the town of Enfield has a thriving nightlife and sports bars for anyone who is looking to head on the town after one of the Sunday contests.

Here are a few places to look at to watch the games afterwards.
And don’t worry, they are all VERY close to the stadium, even quicker in a taxi.

O’Neills Enfield

You can always trust an O’Neills to deliver standard quality across all of its locations.
The Enfield location is popular with youngsters in the area, and boasts loads of TV showing sport on Sundays.

If you want to hit the O’Neills in Enfield after the game, find more details here.

The Cricketers

The Cricketers is another Enfield Sports bar that will have NFL showing on Sky Sports after the game.

Located near the centre of Enfield town, the Cricketers has a storied history in the area, and is beloved by locals for affordable pints, and a lovely garden to nip into for a smoke.

If you’re looking for NFL and cheap beers, this is a place to look at.

The Taps Bar

Another sports bar showing NFL on Sunday is The Taps Irish Bar in Enfield that is centrally located, and bound to have a fun, lively atmosphere.

There are also plenty of kebab shops and a McD’s a football’s throw away, meaning you can soak up the sadness if your team losses on a Sunday.

Find them on Twitter/ X here

The Three Wishes-Winchmore Hill

A gem of an Irish pub located on Green Lanes in Winchmore Hill, this recently renovated pub has over 15 TVs with Sky Sports and more.

Sundays are traditional Irish ones with live music during the afternoon, and some of the cheapest pints in North London.

Conveniently located near Palmers Green/ Winchmore Hill and Wood Green.

The Stag

Looking for a late night bar AND a hotel, then check out the Stag in Enfield.

This cosy hotel also has a sought after bar, and garden which host live music, quiz and sport.

Make sure that you book ahead early, as it does tend to fill up quickly.

The Salisbury Arms-Winchmore Hill

Located near Winchmore Hill train station is the massive Salisbury Arms, which boasts a patio that holds over 200 and has plenty of TVs for outdoor sports action.

Sunday roasts and Sky Sports are on tap at this traditional British pub, which has just been renovated, and has loads of TVs to catch the games and RedZone on.

Management are happy to accommodate big groups, please do contact ahead though.

The Wonder

A bit outside Enfield proper, this is more of a country pub that has plenty of space and TVs to catch the games.

A traditional Sunday pub, The Wonder is a lively place for locals to meet, and centrally located enough for any groups looking to meet up prior to or after the game.

Find out more about The Wonder here.

Other areas

Other neighbourhoods close to Enfield and Tottenham Stadium in the area that you might want to consider are Winchmore Hill, Palmers Green, and Wood Green.

Finsbury Park is also a more lively area for night life, and some sports bars, as well as being conveniently located on the Victoria and Piccadilly Lines, making transit to the stadium quite easy by bus.

Always good to call ahead to some of these pubs too if you have a large group.
Given that it isn’t central London, many of these pub landlords will be happy to throw on the games for you in a prime spot.
It will also help them prepare for staff, if 200 of you decide to descend  on them for a night of NFL fun!

That’s it for our After Game-Enfield preview for you, hope you found it useful.

 

Week 2 Picks

by

Another one done and dusted, but it all starts up again, as the boys deliver their Week 2 Picks Podcast.

So many crazy storylines settling down from week 1!
Aaron Rodgers might never play again.
The Ravens are already injured up the wazoo!
And the Bengals lost badly.

What kind of picks do Ryan and Wade have lined up for their Week 1 Picks?
You can find out all about it, by clicking on the podcast right here.

If you want to play along and bet, make sure you join our NFL in London DraftKings group as well, and you can win money every week!

Week 2 Picks

There are loads of intriguing games lined up for Week 2 in the NFL, but we’ve selected a few of the games that we think could have top betting value.
Why choose some loser games that no one wants to be on?
Here are some of the intriguing games that the boys look at for their Week 2 Picks.

-1 Packers (1-0) vs Falcons (1-0)  +40.5

Green Bay led a Week 1 smackdown of the stunned Bears, opening up a second half hole of 28 mistake points that allowed the Packers to easily dominate a Chicago team with horrible defence.
With a few key players missing, will Jordan Love and the Pack be able to lead another dominant performance.
The Falcons got the W, but there are still loads of questions around Ridder being able to spread the ball around. Bijan had a fantastic rookie performance in Week 1, but now he faces a stunt Green Bay D that shut down the Bears all day.
Ryan likes the Packers to continue their winning ways, with a strong performance over the Falcons. He’s not betting the birds again.
Wade likes the Falcons for the upset here, as he thinks that the offence of Atlanta has a few choice more weapons. Has nothing to do with the fact he’s a Bears fan.
Ryan-Packers 23 Falcons 17
Wade-Falcons 24 Packers 20

-1.5 Colts (0-1)  vs Texans (0-1)  +40

What a trash bag fest this game is, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some points and cash to be made.
The Colts are lacking the running power of Jonathan Taylor, but had a nice surprising performance from Anthony Richardson, who ended up getting injured late in the game.
The Ravens were held in check by the Houston D, until Lamar does what he does and opened the game up. Still, there was a lot of promise in that game, when many thought they would get destroyed.
Ryan likes the Colts here to hold off Houston, and expects a bad game, and a sloppy win.
Wade thinks that it will be sweaty down in Texas, but that humidity will help them and their D throttle the Colts for the upset.
Ryan-Colts 21 Texans 17
Wade-Texans 18 Colts 14

Bears (0-1) vs -2.5 Bucs (1-0)  +42

The Chicago Bears were an absolute joke in Week 1, and it looked like they hadn’t even had a preseason with the lacklustre job put in by the squad.
The D was bad, Fields looked lost, there was no running game, and Chase Claypool can suck a duck.
Baker Mayfield and the pissed off Tampa wide receivers were able to channel their focus to slip apart the Vikings last week, to give them some motivation in the NFC South.
Still loads of questions across the team, but they showed dominant and integrated form to make the Vikings look stupid.
Ryan likes the Bucs and Baker to keep it winning on the strength of their D. Tampa Bay beat the stuffing out of Chicago last year, so what’s to say that they won’t do it again.
Wade is calling for a Bears upset here, believing that all signs point to an upset. Eberflus is back on D calling, and the Bucs just aren’t that good.
Ryan-Bucs 24 Bears 20
Wade-Bears 24 Bucs 20
Those are just some of our Week 2 picks, make sure that you listen to the whole podcast to get the full value of Wade and Ryan’s insight.
Remember the World Rugby Cup is on this weekend too, and all games on Sunday conflict with NFL.
In case you choose to go to a bar, and they don’t show it
Enjoy Week 2 everyone, thanks for listening.

Sunday Funday

If you’re new to the whole ‘daily fantasy NFL’, then the best place to start is with one of our FREE contests, like the Sunday Funday that rolls over every week.

The great thing about free contests like this is that not only do you get a general feel for how fantasy and scheduling your lineups work, you don’t have to pay a damn thing, ’cause it’s free.

Free contests like this are also great because they give you a chance to practise with line-ups, as well as test them for some of the big money contests that happen to be floating around.

If you want to jump onto the Sunday Funday Free Contest, here’s the link for you to get involved!

Buck a Chuck

If you want to try out contests, but you’re not too keen on losing money, then why not try out Buck a Chuck contests?

It’s only a dollar (or 70p) and worth it if you want to feel the rush of winning your first NFL Fantasy contest.

This one runs weekly as well, and has plenty of opportunities for you to get in the game.

Three Dolla Holla

If you want to up the game a little bit more, you can join in on our Three Dolla Holla contest, which is $3, and gives you plenty of options to win some cash during those NFL Sundays.

Search around in our League, and you’ll get invited to this Bad Boy every weekend.

Are you ready for some football?

Betting Sites

We often get asked, which are the best NFL betting sites in the UK?

To be honest, they are all quite horrible, as no one company seems to care, nor invest in any knowledge around the gaming.

We have seen some truly horrendous NFL options out there in the betting world, with Bet365 offering parlay game odds for a single game, but not allowing players to create their own parlays.
To William Hill’s dire NFL options to the laughable ability of the Paddy Power app.

Sometimes the best option is to find the bets you like on a US betting site, then head into a local betting shop, and see if one of the kids behind the counters will have some time to input the data for you.

Any UK betting companies, make sure you up your game!

 

NFC South-West Peek

by

It’s only days before the season starts, so the boys crammed the rest of it into this NFC South-West Peek, with a look at how the teams fare in their respective divisions.

Ryan and Wade break down the two divisions, so that you don’t have to!
You’ve got a busy week ahead, when will you have time to break down divisions?

To listen to the whole lovely podcast, make sure that you click the link here to get all the goods.

The guys also wax on about the latest news, Fantasy and more in this one, including:

Fantasy

Have you finally got your fantasy team(s) sorted, or were you one of those weirdos who did their Fantasy Draft in July, making your team a whole big mess for 2023?
We get that you’re excited, just wait until they do squad cut-downs, ok?
Wade and Ryan look at some of their best picks for their teams, as well as rant about the necessity of having a great commissioner when things go wrong.

Hold Outs

The season is merely hours away for some teams, and yet they still haven’t solved some of their biggest player issues.
The Kansas City Chiefs and Chris Jones seem no closer to an agreement, as Jones has doubled down on his desire to sit out until Week 8, taking on a whole smack-load of fines in the process.
With the Chiefs facing the plucky Detroit Lions on opening Thursday, it will be interesting to see how the team dynamic reacts to Jones being out.
Will KC still have that fire that won them a Super Bowl, or will the locker room suffer from his absence?
Same goes for ‘Mr Black and White’ Joey Bosa, whose demonstrative effect on the 49ers D can be seen in his dominant stats.
Without Bosa, the Niners struggle to get those breakthrough moments, as O lines don’t have to worry about double teaming him.
Add Panthers defensive player Brian Burns, and there is a trio if big D masters who can easily be playmakers of destiny for 2023.
Will they get paid?

Kupp’d

Remember when we talked about hosting your NFL Fantasy Draft too early, and grabbing some players that might not be so good when the season starts?
Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is going to see a specialist this week, as his nagging hamstring has been causing more problems for him, affecting his ability to line up in Week 1.
More bad news for the Los Angeles Rams who seem like a broken box of toys since their Super Bowl win a few years ago.
If the Rams want any chance of getting ahead this season, they may just want to look at stripping the team for parts, and seeing what value they can get.

NFC North Peek

by

The 2023 NFL season is just around the corner, as the boys take an NFC North Peek.

Yes, Wade is biased as a Bears fan, but as you can see, he doesn’t have them romping all over this division.

How do the guys all see it playing out?

All you have to do is have a listen right here:

Among some of the other things the guys talk about in this podcast, are all the latest stuff as well.

NFL News

Chief Problems

The reigning champs are looking to repeat, but all isn’t well in the wigwam of Chiefs Kingdom.
Hold-out Chris Jones is willing to last out until Week 8, but that hasn’t stopped Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce from begging Jones to return to the fold.
Will the Chiefs have enough wide receivers ready to top the speed heavy AFC?
Ryan and Wade discuss this in detail in the podcast.

Evan Off

Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans is looking to get the word on whether the Bucs are going to bring him back after the final year of a 5 year, $81 millions contract.
Mike Evans is a constant 1000 yard gainer, so if Tampa doesn’t pick him up, it will be interesting who he could be paired with in a team looking to bust a nut into the playoffs.

Season Betting Tips

With the 2023 season about to begin, we all look at some of the cool betting options available as a savvy bettor.
It’s always worth throwing a few quid as to the ‘what ifs’ of the season, so we have a few in the podcast to consider.

Fewest Points Scored

Let’s bottom feed first, as we take a look at who could be the worst of the bunch when it comes to scoring the LEAST amount of points in the 2023 NFL season.
The obvious pick is to go with the Cardinals, but they could also just make it the James Connor game, and find ways to outlast their ‘doomed to be last’ moniker.
How about them Colts though? Starting a rookie QB can have its long term downsides, and Jim Irsay has already taken a toxic tone when it comes to how he sees his players. ‘Unless you’re a whale trapped, then I can’t help you. ‘
At +1100, Indy offers a good option as to being the floating turd left in the bowl.

Rushing Leader

Could Josh Jacobs repeat the title for rushing, or is it time to get your Chubb on?
Let’s take a look at some of the rushing options for 2023.
Derrick Henry pops up right away as a guy who might be emboldened with the arrival of D Hop, to make it their year in the AFC South bucket. With massive disrespect shown their way in the form of the Jaguars, Henry, Tanny, and D Hop could make for massive gains.
Bijan Robinson is a tasty option at +1200 to gain the most rushing yards, but can you really trust a rookie this year? With RBs seeing their stock falling, there is no way some of the old guard are going out to a young punk, but who knows? Gotta stay healthy!
Tony Pollard looks a ripe option at +1800 to take the rushing title, after shedding that Zeke weight that was hanging around his gains.
Pollard has the real chance to lead a Dallas squad that is loaded with talent, and with eyes on the Eagles in a dogfight of a division.
Those are just some of the bets we look at in the podcast, make sure that you listen to NFC North Peek, and make your own decisions.
Good luck in your fantasy drafts, and bring on the 2023 season!
