Week 6 Tips

by

It’s the final London game of 2021, as the Jacksonville Jaguars play host to the Miami Dolphins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

While many bemoan this lack lustre battle of Florida, it should be noted that this is an NFL game…in London. So quit your moaning and just enjoy the fact the no longer have COVID, but we have a game.

Wade and Ryan are stoked for the all the NFL games on tap this Sunday, and have compiled their Week 6 Tips for your betting knowledge.

Wade has been on fire with his tips lately, while Ryan’s tips involve the Buffalo Bills for the most part.

So what are the big games that the guys are looking at for this Sunday?

-3.5 Dolphins (1-4) vs Jaguars (0-5)  +45.5

‘Florida Men fight it out across the pond’ would be the headline that tees up this London game at Tottenham stadium.

Both Florida teams have struggled this season, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get better for either team.

The Dolphins welcome back Tua, as he fights for his own job after a rather disappointing start after the Fitzmagic years.
Despite being down every wide receiver, Tua is fit to play, and lead his Dolphins against an ever struggling Jacksonville squad.

The Jaguars just can’t figure it out.
Every season they make new plans and directions for the future, but somehow can’t put concept to action.
Urban Meyer has been a distraction this season, and it’s hard to see if he will keep his job if the Jags bottle this one in London.

Ryan is big on the Jags here to steady the ship and get their first win of the season. He likes Trevor Lawrence to have an impressive game in the victory.

Wade thinks that the return of Tua will be too much for the Jags, as he and Mike Gesicki look to have a big game.
James Robinson might offer some running studness for the Jags, but that’s about that.

Ryan-Jaguars 28 Dolphins 24
Wade-Dolphins 23 Jaguars 18

LA Chargers (4-1) vs Ravens (4-1)  -3  +50.5

Justin Herbert has been a dream boat this season, leading his team into tough matches and coming out firing at every opportunity. They have beat big teams, and prove that they are up there as contenders down the line.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have had some downright ugly wins, but who cares…they’re wins.
Jackson is playing on another level, and he shows he is just as much of a threat running as he is peppering the ball down field.

Ryan believes that Lamar can fly, and that he will be flying all over the Chargers D on Sunday in dramatic fashion. He thinks that LA will run out of steam, allowing the Ravens to hold on for a home W.

Wade is big on the D, and thinks that the Chargers D will play the stagnating factor here. They kept it close with the Cowboys, and they should be able to do the same here.

Ryan-Ravens 33 Chargers 30
Wade-Chargers 28 Ravens 26

Cardinals (5-0) vs Browns (3-2) -2.5  +50

The Cardinals have a perfect record, yet they are underdogs heading into the dawg pound on Sunday. Could it be that the sharps know something that we don’t know?

The Browns are great at home, and their D and O line have kept them in some games that could have gotten out of hand.
Baker Mayfield was better last week, but his inconsistencies and field of vision don’t seem to be getting any better.
Nick Chubb is out this week, and OBJ is bitching that he isn’t getting enough touches.

Arizona has been on fire thus far, holding the distinction of being the only undefeated team in the NFL right now.
Sure, their secondary lets in loads of points, and Kyler still makes some rookie’ish mistakes, but they have so many tools at their disposal.

Ryan thinks that Kyler and the boys run out of gas here, with the Browns finally stepping up to be a force in the AFC North. He likes Cleveland in a close one.

Wade likes the big red machine to keep winning. The Browns have plenty of injuries as well as locker room chaos to distract them on Sunday. The weather is going to be crap, so look for loads of runs.

Ryan-Browns 24-Cardinals 20
Wade-Cardinals 30 Browns 28

Week 5 Review

by

What a tough week it was in the NFL!
Especially for the Giants, 49ers, and Jon Gruden!

Wade and Ryan look back at the week that was in our Week 5 Review podcast.

London Game

What a game in London!

A gorgeous, sunny day gave way to an excellent day of football at Tottenham Stadium.

The Falcons were able to squeeze a win over Zach Wilson and the struggling Jets, but that didn’t really matter to many UK fans.

It was also about getting out to enjoy a beautiful day, with new friends, and a heck of a lot of energy in a shiny new stadium.

We have amazing nights after, hosting all the fans at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, Clapham, and the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.

Ready to do it all again this week?

Gruden

You should always be careful what you say on emails, especially if they are work emails.

Jon Gruden found this out the hard way this week, when an investigation into the Washington Football Team yielded some hefty words from the trash-talking Gruden.

The 90s’ might be done and dusted, but some of the language and nuance remains.

Gruden will most likely be the tip of the iceberg, with many more in the league likely to face justice for their naughty words.

This Week

Are you going to the bug game this week?
What about after the game?

Head to the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham or Old Street on Sunday, which will be hosting wicked after parties.

See you Sunday!

 

Week 4 Review

by

What an exciting week in the NFL, made even better for UK fans as we host a London game for week 5.

Wade and Ryan are here to look back on the week that was in the NFL for week 4, in a fun and peppy podcast called the Week 4 Review.

Ryan went a respectable 7-9 in his week 4 picks, while Wade busted out an impressive 12-4 record to scoop a few pools over the weekend.

Among some of the trends and issues that the guys talk about in this one.

London Game

It’s the Falcons versus the Jets (wee!) at Tottenham in the first of the NFL games in London.

While it’s a truly beautiful stadium, the area around White Hart Lane leaves much to be desired. There’s really not much of a reason to leave anyway, with all of the bars and restaurants you can find within the stadium walls.

The NFL Store in the stadium will be happy to take your money in exchange for the jerseys of your NFL dreams.
Don’t worry about bringing a bag for all that swag, they will have legit ones available you can carry into the stadium.

Visitors to London are in for a treat, just don’t wander around too much to lose that lustre.

Also, Ted Lasso isn’t a real person, so stop asking us.

Petrol Crisis

Britain is still missing fuel, causing line ups, punch ups and neighbourhood headaches.

If you’re planning on driving to the game, be aware that fuel might be non existent, and parking could provide an added nightmare to your journey.

The Overground rolls into White Hart Lane every 15 minutes, which will give you plenty of time to plan your stadium day.

Winners

Among some of the winning teams that Wade and Ryan gush about in this episode includes:

Chiefs

Finally a win, but at what cost? Kansas City is struggling this year as they slump further down the division walls. Can they maintain this momentum to thwart the Bills in week 5?

Cowboys

If you smell something creeping up in your garden check that it might be ‘dem boyz. Dallas has put together a winning team, let’s see how long that they can stay healthy.

Cardinals

The best team in the NFL? They have certainly shown why that they might be considered. Of course it’s only week 4, so let’s hold our horses.

Losers

Lions

Detroit could be the worst team in all of football, with no direction fo where they are going. The Lions have had their mane and tail chopped, it’s hard to see where they find the motivation.

Texans

Stop, just stop. That’s all their defence has left to say.

Titans

Insults meet injuries as this team can no longer rely on Henry for the winning scores. Tannehill is struggling behind a weak line and their D can barely contain themselves.

Week 5 Parties

Don’t forget we’re throwing big parties this weekend at the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham, Old Street and the Princess Alexandra.

Clapham will be showing the Fury vs Wilder fight Sat night, while Old Street will be open until 4am with NFL action wall to wall.

Welcome to London!

 

 

Week 1 Tips

by

Sunday Funday is finally here, which means it’s time to get NFL serious, as we give you our Week 1 Tips.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull exhaust themselves every week breaking down every game, using enhanced super computers, tapping into dark crystals, and channeling dark energy from NFL players of old.

Week 1 is always a bag of cats as you have no idea what happens when everything gets loose, and it’s time to take the field.  It’s hard to predict how the offseason went, how new players have fit into the system, and who is hiding their injuries.

That being said, here are our top picks for the week.

Ryan

Texans (+4) -Houston, we have a problem…Ryan is betting on you for week 1. He thinks that Urban Myer and his group of kids is going to struggle against a nameless Texans squad.

Bengals (+3)-Ryan is Burrowing his bets on Joe in this tough match against the Vikings. With Zimmer being a mess at play calling, he is sure that Cincinnati kids will be able to rally together to overthrow the Minnesota menaces.

NY Giants (+3)-Who the heck would back Daniel Jones in his first game of the season? Ryan would! He loves Saquon and the boys to stuff if down the throat of Fangio and his fanboys in a low scoring affair.

Saints (+4) The Saints might not come marching in, but they will put up a homestead against the ready to rumble Packers. Despite a hurricane rocking the Saints away from home, they will be full Jameis’d for this affair, and Kamara will add to the woes of Green Bay. He doesn’t see the Saints winning, but covering-yes.

Raiders (+4) Late night NFL fans will be watching this Monday night contest with bleary eyes, as it doesn’t start here until the wee hours of the morn. Ryan is big on the bad boy Raiders to grab a win from the flightless Ravens at home.

If you’re smart enough to follow Ryan’s lead, you could rip home a lovely profit of, on a £10 bet.
Betting a tenner will win you £317.27 using Ryan’s tips above.
You ready to get lucky?

Wade

Despite besting Ryan in betting against the spread for the past few years, Wade is always cautious heading into week 1.
He does have some games that he has an inkling he thinks will go all wrong.
These include:

Cardinals (+3)-Tiny Kyler and his Cardinal Babies struggled last season to find their footing, but they should be fully planted for this contest. This will be a DFS bonanza, as both teams trade long balls all day long. The Titans traditionally start slow, and this game will demonstrate that.

Colts (+3)-Carson Wentz is back, said no one trying to intimidate another person ever. The Colts were a dominant team last season led by a ridiculous O line and fast D. There’s no reason that doesn’t change for week 1 as they battle a weak Seahawks D. Look for a home town celebration.

Eagles (+3)-Philly wasn’t so special last year as they struggled with a rotation at QB. By the time Jalen Hurts took over, there was a bit too much pressure for the youngster to succeed.
With a whole new support squad, this team can score, which is what they will do against the Falcons.

Dolphins (+3)-Mac Jones has the football, everyone be afraid! Bill Belichick has spent some time building his new squad out of clay, but that doesn’t mean that they will hold up to the toughness of the NFL. It’s one thing to do well in preseason. Miami starts the season strong, and Flores will have some mind games ready for little Mac.

Bengals (+3) -Not to win, but to cover. The Bengals can score if Joe Burrow has his head (and body) in the game. Minnesota is weak in back D, which should give the Bengals plenty of chances to torch them deep. A close game for sure.

Taking Wade’s picks, with a £10 wager will win you £310.66, a nice chunk of pocket change to start your Monday.

Come join us Week 3 at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street to get a chance to WIN a set of tickets to the Miami Dolphins vs Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Stadium.

Have a great Sunday!

 

Draft Review

by

The 2021 NFL Draft is now done and dusted…on with the season!

Ok, so the season is still a summer away, but at least we have this to distract us until then.
Wade & Ryan look at the whole dang draft, (ok-the good bits) in our 2021 Draft Review podcast.

After a year of crappy Covid, it was nice to reach some level or normalcy once again.
Yes, fans were masked and distanced…but they could boo Roger Goodell again!
Say what you will about RG, but his playfulness with the fans on his likeability is refreshing.
He seems to even relish in it year on year.
Keep it up Rog, we need a heel these days.

(but we’ll get to Aaron Rodgers soon)

In terms of winners of the 2021 NFL Draft, the guys will look at all the teams, but also focus on what teams did to enhance their whole squad.
Our 2021 NFL Draft Review winners are:

  1. Chicago Bears

    The Bears came out on top of a draft? Is this some feverish dream? In some sort of odd Tetris scenario, Justin Fields fell to the Bears in an opportunity.
    While the Broncos could have grabbed Fields, they allowed the Bears to move up to swap with the Giants and snag this Ohio State great.
    Add to this a solid OT, and the Bears were able to make something out of nothing.
    Now…what will they do with it.

  2. Miami Dolphins

    Too gets his Waddle, as well as a whole host of talent. Miami is looking to add to a surprising 2020 team by adding more depth in D and the offensive weapons.
    The Dolphins got sweet heat for that pre-Draft trade with the 49ers and Eagles.
    Miami made enough moves to make the AFC East interesting…now it’s only up to Tua.

  3. Cleveland Browns

    The Browns have added more danger to their 2021 squad in their vision for a shot at the AFC title this year. With 8 picks, Cleveland immediately spent 5 of those on D, all of whom could feasibly start this year.
    Where Cleveland really shone was some offensive line steals early on.
    James Hudson will give Baker plenty of protection…and time.

  4. NY Jets

    Will the Jets squander all of their picks only to end up back here in a few years? Sadly, it’s possible. The Jets have the control and responsibility of a crack-head when it comes to their draft picks.
    They make them, break them, then line up again at the trough complaining that they ‘didn’t get a good one.’
    Even a petulant child should only be given so many toys.
    With Adam Gase managing a local Wendy’s, it should give the Jets plenty of inspiration.

  5. LA Chargers

    Are you ready for some support Justin Herbert? The Chargers made some great moves to not only protect Herbert, but to also give him a bit of mustard on D.
    LAC fizzled out on injuries as the season drew on, so it’s good that they found some fresh meat to give Herbert some time downfield.
    With Lynn out, the Chargers could make a hefty push for the AFC playoffs this season.

Have a laugh and a listen to this weeks 2021 Draft Review podcast. Please feel free to share, care and listen in your underwear.

The NFL schedule is released on May 12th, so we should have a better idea of who is coming to London this season.
