Week 4 Crit

by

We’ve got more NFL action in London, but first, we offer up our Week 4 Crit podcast, where the guys look back on all the Week 4 games.

The link to the podcast is at the bottom of this thread, because we have some exciting local news first.

Bills & Jaguars in London

With the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars also in town, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer you up some fun things to do this week.

The weather looks like we well and truly fucked planetary warm, which is good for football, as fans will bask in new normal temperatures in north London.

Getting to the stadium will be way easier, thanks to the tube lines calling off their strike, and trains should be moving better than last week.

The Rugby World Cup will be dominating the screens this week, so if you’re looking to catch some college football, it might be best catching a stream at home, or using a UK betting app so that you can catch the feed on your device (Bet 365).

If you’re looking to up your Sunday Funday action, why not take a cruise with the fun folks at Tailgreeter, who are hosting a funtastic Sunday morning of fun with their Thames River Cruise.

Boarding and offloading at Festival Pier on the banks of the mighty Thames, guests will be treated to a four hour cruise that would make Gilligan and the gang jealous.

Not only do fans get to sight see across London by river for 4 hours, there will be games, free swag, a bbq buffet, 3 free drinks, and an EXTRA free drink when you use promo code NFLLONDON.

Best of all, the Tailgreeter gang is going to drop you off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in time for gametime between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Tailgreeter Thames River Cruise goes from 9am to 1pm, giving you enough sea legs of sauce to get you to your seats in time for the 2:30pm kickoff.
There are no loos on the bus, so please plan your bladder’s accordingly.

If you want to get tickets for this Thames River Cruise of NFL adventure, just click on the link here to get tickets.
Don’t forget promo code NFLLONDON to snag yourself a beverage on us. You deserve it.

Among some other things that you might want to consider this weekend is comedy! London has loads of fantastic comedy clubs and acts that you might want to check out.

Post covid, many comedy clubs across the UK have been struggling, as have the comics. This has brought on a huge new boom of great comedy however, so make sure that you check out some gigs if you want to take a break from some of the NFL hullabaloo.

Among some of the shows we would recommend:

  • UK funnyman Peter Kay is playing the O2 Saturday & is a great diplomat of British comedy
  • Ricky Gervais is playing Friday at Wembley if you like that kind of comedy
  • US Latino superstar Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias plays the O2 on Friday
  • The hilarious Paul Chowdhry performs his solo show at the Leicester Square Theatre all weekend
  • The Comedy Store packs big hilarity with Ian Stone; Marcel Lucont; & more all weekend
  • Micky Flanagan performs at the Lyric Theatre-with Harry Styles & James Cordon in this week

Week 4 Crit

What a week it was to show the separation in tiers between good teams, great teams, and just terrible teams. (looking at you Bears!)

Ryan and Wade meander through the games and look at what and who were the difference makers.

Ryan actually blushes on the podcast when talking about the Bills beatdown of the Dolphins on Sunday, so make sure that you at least catch that moment.

TNF- Bears (0-4) vs -6 WASH (2-2) +45

The guys also preview the slovenly TNF matchup between the winless Bears, and the WASH team that almost took out the Eagles.

It’s a big spread here, but the guys both like the WASH team to win, but the Bears cover.

Listen to the whole thing, and rub it all over you like you’re about to hop in the smoker.

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

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.
