SuperBowl Germany

by

Wo siehst du das superbowl deutschland?
The NFL is HUGE in Germany, and we love interacting and engaging with our German fans every time that they come over to the UK.

We are planning some German events in 2020, so we wanted to hit the ground running first and find out where the best places to watch the NFL are in Germany.
So we have to ask….
Where do our German friends go to watch the game?

Games are generally 5 hours ahead of America, which means that German NFL fans don’t get to watch the games for at least 6 hours late.
Traditional bars aren’t usually open that late on a Sunday (are they?), so casinos and pop-ups must be the place to go.

If any of our German fans want to share where they celebrate the NFL, we will share it with everyone!

We have seen listings for some venues showing the SuperBowl on Feb 2nd, but do you have any venues where you can watch it every week?

Look forward to hearing from all of you!

NFL Player Trivia

by

How much do you know about the NFL?
Would you consider yourself a genius of the gridiron, or a straight up novice?
What is your QB IQ really like?

We have created a fun quiz for you to test your knowledge of NFL Players.
You need to be able to correctly identify the players in the quiz to get full points.
Can you get 25/25?

Some of these pictures are pretty tricky, so you will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the players of old to be able to successfully get perfect on this quiz.
Answers for the quiz are at the bottom of this page.

Here are some of the top players we think of when we think of NFL GOATS.

Jim Brown

Jim Brown was an unstoppable beast. Not only did he crush everyone he ran into during the late 50s and 60s, he was also a badass mofo. Brown was intimidating on the field, as his running power was so strong, NFL weaklings of the era struggled to contain him.
Brown would be nightmare for the League this days, as he was always vocal about the calamity of events that were happening around him.
Whether it was segregation, the Vietnam War, or economic disparity-Brown always had an opinion.
Heck of an athlete and not a bad actor as well!

Walter Payton

‘Sweetness’ was not only one of the toughest, most fluid runners in the NFL, he was also a remarkably humble man as well. Payton was an iconic Bear, who was nearly unstoppable on the field. Despite the fact that he could easily rush a 100 yard game every week, he didn’t trash talk, didn’t gloat, didn’t rub success in others faces. A truly class act.

Joe Montana

Could there be a more iconic QB that Montana? He won so many awards, that many are now named after him. One of the most solid QBs in the SuperBowl, he was nearly perfect in several big games, and was a terror in the fourth quarter. If you have never watched any of his games, go back and watch them!

Barry Sanders

Another RB who could be considered the ‘classiest’ guy in the NFL. Sanders played with a quiet intensity that was terrifying. He could easily gash oppositions for tonnes of yards, yet he too has one of the most humble players on the planet. He retired before than he really had to, and when Barry talked, the world listened. Always tough to try to make a career in Detroit, but he never turned his back on the city, and gave them everything he had.

Make sure you come and join us for our SuperBowl Party at Long Acre Sun Feb 2nd.
We will have a quiz prior to the big game.

Good luck on the quiz.

Now here are the answers:

  1. Mean Joe Greene
  2. Jim Brown
  3. Reggie White
  4. Roger Staubach
  5. Ed Reed
  6. Junior Seau
  7. Merlin Olsen
  8. Lawrence Taylor
  9. Rickey Jackson
  10. Anthony Munoz
  11. Curly Lambeau
  12. Larry Csonka
  13. Steve Largent
  14. Fred Taylor
  15. Jerry Rice
  16. Lyle Alzado
  17. Warren Moon
  18. Barry Sanders
  19. Joe Namath
  20. Shannon Sharpe
  21. Bruce Smith
  22. Johnny Unitas
  23. Len Dawson
  24. Fran Tarkenton
  25. Darrell Green

 

Sunday Picks

by

And then there were 4.
2 from the AFC, 2 from the NFC in the final battle to determine who goes to the Super Bowl.
We have been here every year since the NFL began, but Sunday is particularly sweet because there are no New England Patriots playing in this one.
It seems…nice.

So who wins the two games tonight?
Wade & Ryan break down their thoughts on the game, and make their predictions on who wins the games on Sunday.

Make sure you visit BetRegal to bet on the games, and play in our DraftKings Leagues to make your DFS picks.

Titans (11-7) vs -7 Chiefs (13-4) +53

The Titans have finally made it to the AFC final. Through some plucky plays, and the legs of Henry,  the Titans finally have a shot at the big game. Or do they?
Do they have a chance against these Chiefs who came back from a pounding to thrash the Texans?
Maybe.
The Chiefs can be scored on, which was evident last week.
The real question is can the Titans compete in a game when they go down by a few scores?
Then they have to rely on Tannehill, which won’t go well.
Both Wade & Ryan have the Chiefs downing the Titans comfortably and moving on to the SuperBowl.

Packers (14-3) vs -7.5 49ers (14-3) + 45

When these two teams met in Week 12, it was rather ugly. The Niners beat up on the Pack 38-7, and chased Aaron Rodgers all over the field.
Could the same happen again this week? Maybe.
But you can see how the Packers would have learned from that game, and applied some other routes to get Adams open.
Bosa will have his hands full of Bulaga, which should give Rodgers some more time.
Jimmy G had a stellar game last week, but doubtful if he will replicate that after the Packers D’s performance last Sunday.
The Packers should be able to keep it close, but both Wade & Ryan have the 49ers nudging out the game for a victory.

Both guys see the Super Bowl being made up from the Chiefs and 49ers.

Join us tonight at Long Acre where we will be watching the AFC contest. Bar closes after the game.

See you tonight!

 

 

Ryans Picks

by

Our man Ryan Cull is still smarting from his Bills being eliminated last weekend.
Will the sting of neglect still carry forward with him this weekend?
Time will tell, but more importantly his picks will.

We have included Ryans picks against the spread so that you can make your own picks based on Ryan’s expert NFL knowledge.
Will you take his advice?

Vikings vs -7 49ers

Ryan isn’t totally sold that the 49ers can put up the big boy points versus the Vikings. Minnesota has dusted off the ice and seems to be playing competitive football.
Ryan thinks that the 49ers will win, but that they won’t cover the full spread.
49ers 24 Vikings 21

Titans vs -9.5 Ravens

The Titans continue to impress as they knock off some of the top teams in the league, but can they knock off the top team? Ryan says ‘no’, but he does believe that this game will be closer than most think. He also picks Derek Henry to have a stellar game in the face of the D.
Ravens 30 Titans 23

Texans vs -9.5 Chiefs

The Texans are a team that Ryan hates right now. After dusting his Bills in the second half last week, he is looking for redemption in the form of a Chiefs beating. He thinks this will happen, with Kansas City easily covering the spread.
Chiefs 30 Texans 17

Seahawks vs -4 Packers

Ryan isn’t totally sold on the Packers either. Who have they beaten really, and have they done it impressively, or in need. The Seahawks are growing in confidence, but will too many injuries stop this party before it starts? Ryan wanted to take the Seahawks but just couldn’t do it. He does like them to cover though.
Packers 27 Seahawks 24

Make sure you check out our BetRegal offer to get going on you betting this weekend.

We also have some DraftKings contests on, and grab some gear from Fanatics! You might need some hats and jerseys for the playoffs.

See you this weekend at Long Acre in Covent Garden.

The Bills are out, and Ryan is sad.
But that doesn’t mean the season is over! There’s a whole lot of NFL left to play.

DraftKings has another wicked weekend ahead of games. Join our League that you can play for yourself.

To summarise some of our thoughts on the Wildcard Weekend in the NFL.

Bills vs Texans

Way to blow it Buffalo, your second half collapsed quicker than a homemade horse costume.
The Texans were good, but not great in disposing of a fast starting Bills team. Texans are in for a humbling vs the Chiefs this weekend.

Titans vs Patriots

Are the Patriots finally dead, or was it another off year? The Titans ran all over the Pats, and their vaunted D could barely stop the fast moving Henry. The Titans have to face the Ravens now, so enjoy your playoffs while they lasted.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles were finally showed the door to their place in the league this season. Wentz was hurt early, but it wouldn’t have mattered against the Seahawks team that is gaining confidence as it rises. Wade likes them a lot next Sunday.

Make sure you subscribe to our podcast, as well as share it on social media if you like it.
See you Sunday.

 

 

Week 17 Memes

by

And just like that, the season is over. Holy crap that went quickly! We barely had a chance to get to love/ loathe our teams this season.

So now, there are 12 hopeful teams heading into the playoffs, with the Eagles being the most hopeful of all.

The only thing that really seems to make this NFL season more bearable is memes.
That’s right, we have curated some of the funniest memes from the deepest/ darkest web for your pleasure, and compiled them into a post to tickle your ribs.

Crack on in and enjoy!

Wade’s Week 17 Picks

by


Are you still fat and drunk from the holidays? Then buckle in for Week 17 of the NFL, which can be as exciting/ boring/ unpredictable as a family Christmas dinner.
There are a few games that really matter in the playoff race, and some that are a fart in the wind to cap out the week.

For some of the teams that have already secured a playoff spot, they are more concerned with resting their good players, and thus the games become incredibly difficult to handicap.
Also, teams will be watching the scores of other games, and will adjust the beatdown facto they lay on the other teams-or lay-off.
This adds a wacky nugget element to sports betting.
To help you out, I have made some of my predictions to help out your betting options.

Make sure you check out our BetRegal offer. Just deposit £10 and spend it on a bet, and you get ANOTHER free £10 bet to make on another offer.

We have our DraftKings League set up as well, so pop on over and set up your team for today.

Wildcard Saturday is just around the corner, and we will be showing ALL of the NFL Playoffs at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden. For £7 you get entry and a welcome beer.

Ok, let’s take a look at some of the big games this Sunday.

-13 Saints (12-3) vs Panthers (5-10) +46

Christian McCaffrey must be tired. He has been carrying this team on his back/ legs and ego this season, and it has been a very disappointing one. What will happen next season with Cam Newton, and can they fade out this season with some dignity?
The Saints are fired up. They have 12 wins under their belt, but it’s the 3 losses that are the scary ones. They have shown some inconsistent play during some of these games, and that’s not the blueprint you want to take into these playoff games.
The Panthers won’t be motivated at home, but the crowd will be treated to a high-scoring affair.
Alvin Kamara looks to have a beast of a game, so factor him into your fantasy line-up.
The Saints are looking at home field advantage, so they will be ready to run up the score to get it that way.
Saints win big. 

Dolphins (4-11) vs -15.5 Patriots (12-3) +44.5

‘At least we’re not the Bengals!’
The Dolphins had a pretty miserable season, but at least they were able to not fully trash bag the season, and walk out with 4 wins.
Ryan Fitzpatrick brought his magic to many of these games, and although they won’t get the first draft pick, they will be able to slowly start rebuilding the team.
This is a tough game, because the Patriots need a win, but they don’t need a beating of the fish.
As long as they win, they’re in-but they will be watching the Chiefs score to determine how far that beating goes.
Look for Brady to roll up some big scores early on, then let off the gas after the first half, once they know what the playoff implications are.
I can see Fitzy going out with a bang in the second half, unless he gets demolished by the Pats D.
Dolphins cover. 

-13 Packers (12-3) vs Lions (3-11-1)

The Lions have had a worse season than lions being kept in an Eastern European circus.
Too many injuries, and a disappointing tough schedule have kept them in the NFC north basement.
The Packers are sitting pretty, but they need to win to secure a home field position.
Again, they will look to put up a big score, then start to coast, but unlike the Dolphins, the Lions don’t have any assets to allow them to keep this game close.
Packers win big.

LA Chargers (5-10) vs -9 Chiefs (11-4)

The Chiefs are in the playoffs, but how far are they in? Just the tip, or the full shaft?
Kansas will also be keeping an eye on the Patriots game to see how their future holds.
In the crazy chance that the Dolphins actually beat the Patriots, KC can secure home field advantage, and make the season a lot tougher for anyone willing to visit the midwest.
The Chargers have a solid front D, so look for them to chase Patrick Mahomes all over the field.
LA is one of those teams who won’t let up in this game. It’s their final season in the old stadium, so it’s a new start and new home going forward.
There will probably be more hot dog vendors in the stand than there will be Chargers fans.
Chargers cover.

I will be outlining what some of the good parlay pick options are this week, so make sure you head over to BetRegal and take me up on my predictions.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Do you have any memes that you like to create? Send ’em our way and we can insert them into the site.

Playoff Picture

by

How about that Week 16 huh?
A few big teams crapped the bed in the penultimate weekend of the NFL, and it really, really hurt.
(talking to you Cowboys)

There are a few teams that still have a chance (The Raiders?!?)-but we are starting to see some of the playoff picture emerge.

The Patriots and the Ravens have taken a choke hold on the AFC, with the Bills, Chiefs, Titans and Texans pushing for those Wildcard spots.

The Packers & 49ers have beaten all comers to take the NFC post positions, while the Vikings, Saints, Seahawks and Eagles all looking for those Wildcard spots.

Want to watch the Wildcard games? Join us at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden so that you can watch all the games until 5am.

Enjoy your holidays and see you for Week 17 and the Playoffs.
