Week 15 Picks

by

Week 15 is here like a December blizzard, are you ready for some football?
I am always hesitant to bet big on the final weeks of the season, because of how some teams will play above their ability to push for the playoffs.
Add to this some teams just don’t want to go out with a whimper, and you have a recipe for unpredictability.
But let’s take a stab at some of the games this week.

-6 Eagles (6-7) vs Redskins (3-10) +40.5

The Eagles are hurting. They have been so riddled by injuries, they have guys playing roles that they wouldn’t normally do.
The Redskins on the other hand are having some fun. They know that they suck, but they refuse to go out like a limp biscuit.
Do the Eagles actually believe that they really have a playoff chance here?
I like the Redskins the go deep on the Eagles, just like the Giants did.
The home town crowd are really going to go wild, and the Redskins are going to give themselves a Christmas miracle.

Bears (7-6) vs -4.5 Packers (10-3)

Are the Packers really a 10-3 team? Sure, they have beaten some losers, but not by much.
They have lost that zip of second half dominance and just seem to be coasting when they build up a bit of a lead.
The Bears on the other hand have started to find a rhythm now.
Trubisky looks like he can finally see the field, and it looks like Nagy has given him permission to be able to use his legs again.
This will be a different result than it was in Week 1, as the fierce Packers D seems to have settled down a bit.
Aaron Rodgers will still be the difference, but a 4.5pt spread seems a tad high here.

-9.5 Patriots (10-3) vs Bengals (1-12)

Will there be any surprises in this game, or did the Pats video everything they need to know. This is obviously going to be a point of contention here.
The Bengals are the worst team in the league, but with Andy Dalton back, do they have a little chance?
Maybe.
This is a pretty high spread this late in the season.
The Patriots don’t have a lot of offensive weapons, so I don’t see a lot of points in snowy Cincinnati.
Patriots will win, but look for the Bengals to cover this one.

Texans (8-5) vs -3 Titans (8-5)

One of these teams will be on to the playoffs, the other will be licking their wounds.
The Texans have had some great wins, but some brutal losses to losers.
The Titans are now finding their grove, pushing further into the playoffs with some great plays by Henry and Tannehill.
Playing at home will give them an advantage here, and with Fuller a gametime decision, the Texans don’t have as many weapons at their disposal as they would like.
I like the Titans to cover this spread and move on to glory.

-6 Seahawks (10-3) vs Panthers (5-8)

What in the Russell Wilson is going on with the Seahawks? They were coasting with some solid victories, but then got absolutely handled by the Rams.
Are they for real, or do they have too many problems as injuries take their toll?
The Panthers have been a real embarrassment this year. Kyle Allen has led them down the loser path, and McCaffrey has been dragging the team on their back.
They do play well at home though, and a good holiday showing will be something important for the Carolina crowd.
Panthers should be able to cover, as the Seahawks will be focused on next week.

Jaguars (4-9) vs -6.5 Raiders

It’s the final game at the LA Colosseum, and the Raiders will want to put on a home show.
If Josh Jacobs can get his wheels going, there will be trouble.
The Jags meanwhile have given up.
They are officially out of it, their D sucks, and the only real threat they have is Fournette-who may not even feel up to it.
The Raiders will look for a big win here, as they say farewell to the fans and off to Vegas.
This will be one last party.

Week 15 Preview

by

It’s Week 15 already folks, so how have you done so far this season in your NFL picks?
Are you still in your fantasy league?
Well sit back, listen, and enjoy as Wade & Ryan break down their picks for Week 15, in their last podcast of the decade together.
(they will be back together in the new year!)

In this podcast, the boys go over all of their predictions for this wild week in the NFL.

Some of the games they look at include:

-9.5 Patriots (10-3) vs Bengals (1-12)

Is Tom Brady done? Will he get traded to the Dolphins? Will he reveal he was the villain the whole time? Relax, it’s the Bengals. The Patriots are in a good position to kick the crap out of the cats and get themselves ready. It’s like people forgot what the Pats are like in the post-season. Are they ready to run the table? Get ready.

Bears (7-6) vs -4.5 Packers (10-3)

Finally Mitch Trubisky is starting to play like a starter, but is it too late? Aaron Rodgers has slugged together some wins, but not very convincing ones. With Hicks back in the pass rush, Jones is going to run into some tight spaces. Pack might irk out a win, but the Bears will keep it close.

Texans (8-5) vs -3 Titans (8-5)

Houston we have a problem. That problem is inconsistency. They can beat the Patriots one week, then get hammered by the Broncos the next. The Titans on the other hand are starting to find a nice little groove. Will Tannehill explode on this D? All signs point to likely.

Make sure you listen to the podcast and take note of our picks.
This is the final podcast with Wade & Ryan for the season. Wade will have new guests next week.

Week 15-Sky Games

by

It’s Week 15 folks, so forget your families and holiday shopping to focus on the most important thing in your life right now…the NFL.

Sky Sports has released its Week 15 schedule so that you can watch the big games. and there are some great ones on tap this weekend.

The 6pm (UK time) game features a divisional match-up between the Texans and the Titans.
The Titans have been rolling under Tannehill lately, and their punishing running game has really made it difficult for several teams around the league.

The Texans are still smarting from that Week 14 beat down by the Broncos, and will be looking to grab some kind of momentum against this staunch Titans team. Will they be able to continue their playoff hopes, or will the Titans grab the early lead in the march to 2020?

The 9pm game features the LA Rams vs Dallas Cowboys, not the greatest game in the world-but two teams in desperate need of a win. Can the Rams finally right their ship, or is it too little too late?

The late game will feature the Bills and Steelers in a must win situation for both, with Buffalo really hoping that they might be able to steal a lead from the Patriots.

Pop by the Princess Alex in Crouch End to watch all of the games.

See you Sunday!

 

Week 14 Results

by

Week 14 is almost done and dusted (does the Eagles vs Giants game really count?)
How many did you get correct?

Week 14 can always be a bit tricky to predict, with teams on the edge playing for their lives, which is what we saw this week.

Here are some of the interesting results from Week 14.

Redskins 15-Packers-20

Yes, the Packers did move forward in their playoff quest, but this was by no means a simple game for them. Despite being 13 point faves in this game, the Packers struggled to stave off the feisty Redskins. Haskins moved the ball around well, exposing problems in the Packers secondary.
Aaron Rodgers had some good passes, but it wasn’t a very convincing win for a team in a tough division. You barely beat the Redskins. How are you going to fare against some of the other top teams?

Dolphins-21 Jets-22

Poor Jets, they are fighting for wins, and when they get them-they are ugly. Fitz was anything but Magic, as the Fins relied not their kicker to get the job done-hitting 7 field goals to keep them in the game. This was an ugly 5.5 point spread for the Jets, so it was good to see that they weren’t able to cover this. Yeah, they won-but it was against the Dolphins and you barely won.

Broncos-39 Texans-24

Houston, we have a problem. The Texans aren’t playing very consistent football, and Drew Lock and co. really stunned the Texans in their pursuit of an AFC division. The Broncos struck quickly, moving the ball with ease, and gashing the Texans D with long balls and big runs. Where is JJ Watt when you need him? The scoreline isn’t as close as it could’ve been, as the Broncos could have whooped more points on them.

49ers-48 Saints-46

Holy macaroni what a game. This was as back and forth as a teeter-totter, as both teams were firing on each others D’s. It doesn’t bode well for having a tight D, when both your teams combine for a total of 94 points in offence. Jimmy G looked good, and Kittle is a beats when his big legs get moving. The Saints fall a little further back, making it a tough contest for anyone who faces them going forward.

Chiefs-23 Patriots-16

The Patriots lose? What is happening? Did they not pay off the refs? Well…about that. The refs actually had some blown calls on the Patriots that went through. What? They got screwed too? TB12 was in angry mode, as his team struggled against a Chiefs team that was all over him. 40 total points is surprising, but not as surprising as the Pats losing at home in December. They are now out of first place, and will have to fight for a wildcard spot if they continue this record. Could the Bills beat them in a few weeks?

Chargers-45 Jaguars-10

Where has this Phillip Rivers been? How can they finally start chucking up this amount of points this late in the season? The Jags played like garbage, and Minshew is going to need some moustache oil if he wants to get his team lubed up again. Too little too late for the Chargers, as they limp out of this season into a dark future of a team without a fanbase. The Jags have watched their vaunted D disappear, just as their offence has done. They need a lot of work!

Heading into Week 15 and things are starting to get desperate.

Week 13 Picks

by

Wade-W13-picks

It’s Week 13, and things are heating up post Thanksgiving turkey games!
Who do have in this week’s games?
There are a lot of crapola games, and some key matches that have Super Bowl implications.
Obviously the 49ers vs Ravens will be the big game of the week, and the Patriots vs Texans is the key AFC game.
But how can you make money this week off the NFL?
By taking my picks, that’s how silly!

Weather. One of the big things to watch this week are any games that are played on the East coast that are outside. There is a nasty ThanksG storm rolling across the shoreline, and with flights being cancelled-expect that this also applies to footballs that are thrown. Expect snow, heavy winds, and frigid turf. Running will be the way to go, but ball control will be even more important.
On Sunday’s like this, GO FOR THE UNDER!
Choose the Under on any games on the east coast this week with these ket home teams: NY Giants; Ravens; Steelers. The Bengals, Panthers & Dolphins could also see some gusts and cold conditions.

Here are some of the key games I think are good for parlays to punch your ticket to some NFL wins. I’m still hitting a wicked 66% of picks correct against the spread heading into these games, putting me ahead of most Vegas sports book makers and pundits. You can check all my scores each week with our picks and by listening to our podcasts.

Take these bets to BetRegal, and also look at our DraftKings League.

-2.5 Bucs (4-7) vs Jags (4-7)

The line on this game has changed a few times. I snagged it on a early ticket at -1 Jags, which was a steal. The Bucs are now 2.5 pt faves and rightly so. So long as Jameis can shuttle the ball without dropping it, TB should be able to bust the ball deep into the cats end. The Jags have seen their D drop in talent dramatically, and are a shell of their former selves. Nick Foles better do something at home, or he will soon be looking for another job. Bucs should easily be able to handle their Florida brother cousin lovers.
Bucs WIN

Titans (6-5) vs -1 Colts (6-5)

The line on this one was originally 2.5 for the Colts, but has changed due to injuries and the heat of the Titans. Yes, they have won a few straight and Tannehill is pumping it like a champ, but this is a divisional bugaboo. The Colts have owned the Titans at home, and this should continue Sunday. Brissett and the boyz need to get that ball moving fast and deep into the Titans secondary. The have the defense to limit Henry, & if they put the pressure on Tannehill the Titans will make mistakes.
Colts WIN

-2 Browns(5-6)  vs Steelers (6-5)

The helmet game is back again! Tensions will be simmering after massive mantras for calm in this divisional slugfest. The Browns are beaming after the win a few weeks ago, while Mason Rudolph will be a mere witness in this contest. It’s the Steelers at home, so they should be more focused and driven to deliver with Duck at the helm. The Steelers are gutted by injuries so they will have to see what they can bandage in this one. I like them to chase Baker and for them to make mistakes. The weather is going to be horrible, so home field is a good bet.
Steelers WIN

The weather is going to make betting tough this week, so it’s a good week for home teams and favourites.

Good luck this week!
