Week 12-Sky

by

It’s Week 12 already! Are you ready for some football?

Sky Sports usually chooses some good’ish games to play, but they are hampered by fans across the UK who want to see their team.
There are loads of games on, but these ones look pretty good.

TNF

It’s Colts vs Texans at 1:20am Friday morning, which means a whopping 6 people will be watching this match. It should be a good game, and Wade & Ryan will preview it on the next podcast for the Week 11 review.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles are coming down from an emotional loss, where they HAD the Patriots, but squandered it away. It didn’t help that they took a bunch of injuries when they were leading 10-0.
Will they be motivated enough here to take down the high flying hawks?
It’s the battle of the birds!

Cowboys vs Patriots

‘Dem boys have been playing well, but well enough to take down Tom and Billy B? Pretty doubtful with the Patriots coming off a bye. They should be fired up at Foxboro to be able to hold them off.
This game goes late, so hope you get your rest for Monday.

Packers vs 49ers

This game would have been HUGE a few decades ago, but it should be an interesting proposition for a late Sunday game. Will the 49ers get enough guys back from injury? How will Aaron Rodgers hold up against this fast and furious game. This game starts at 1:20am, so be prepared to take Monday off!

See ya Sunday.

 

Ryan’s Late picks

by

Our own Ryan Cull makes his top picks for the 9pm (4pm) games so you don’t have to.
Is Ryan right? Generally no. But who knows this week? He made these sober so that’s a good start.

Cardinals vs -10 49ers

This is a big spread for a hurt team. Kyler Murray is a plucky sucker, so downing him 10 points will only inspire him. Big prediction here Ryan thinks the Cardinals will actually WIN! Yep, exclusive here. Bet your kids gender transition fund.

-4 Patriots vs Eagles

Brady & Billy are back from the break & ready to crumble lives. The Eagles might be that victim, but they too are motivated. Ryan likes the rested Pats to kick the birds.

Bengals vs -10.5 Raiders

Jon Gruden has his team playing competitive football. His squad is focused & playoff hopeful. 10 & a half points is a pretty big spread. Bengals should cover that embarrassing line.

Bears vs -6.5 Rams

The Bears & Trubisky are sucking hard, & they aren’t even establishing the run. Will that change this game? Jared Goff is also slumping, so this could be the battle of the suck. Bears to cover.

Week 11 Picks

by

If you wanna make money in the NFL, then you have to parlay.
Find some nice, juicy games that will pay off-put’em together and make some beautiful betting music.
Of course, it’s hard to find the right tips from a legitimate tipster.
Luckily, I have had a good season of 63% correct in against the spread betting.
I was as high as 71% a few weeks ago, but you know-stuff happens.
Let’s take a look at my record thus far:

Wade’s NFL Weekly Record

Week 1/ 5-11
Week 2/ 8-8
Week 3/ 13-3
Week 4/ 11-4
Week 5/ 11-4
Week 6/ 11-4
Week 7/ 10-4
Week 8/ 11-4
Week 9/ 4-9
Week 10/ 9-4

Record: 93-55

As you can see, Week 1 and Week 9 were a punch in the dick, but you’re going to have those once in a while.

Here are some of my top picks for Week 11.
You might want to add some of these bad boys into a tasty little parlay to increase the amount you can win.
I generally pick games that are upsets, or games where the spread is just way to dang high.

-6 Saints (7-2) vs Bucs (3-6) +50

The Bucs have been playing some ugly football. Jameis Winston had issues holding onto the ball, as well as some Mr. Magoo-like vision in the earlier part of the season, but seems to have settled down a bit as of late.
The Saints were humming, then the Falcons came to town and made them look like chumps.
Was that a one-off, or did the Falcons expose their weakness?
This line is too high for the Bucs at home. They put up a ton of points, and their D line should have no problem swamping up Kamara.
Saints should win, but the Bucs will cover the spread.
Bucs COVER. 

Falcons (2-7) vs -4.5 Panthers (5-4) +49.5

Atlanta is coming off a hot win over New Orleans last week, and are all smiles like a dude coming out clean after an STD test. Matt Ryan has put up some good stats, but the wins have been as elusive as his offensive line.
Christian McCaffrey is holding the Panthers together, but he is only one man with an inept QB.
The Falcons are feeling juicy, they will probably lose-but will keep it closer than you think.
Falcons COVER.

Texans (6-3) vs -4 Ravens (7-2) +51.5

Where were you when the Ravens beat the Patriots 2 weeks ago? What were you wearing? How did it feel?
The Ravens gave everyone some warm fuzzies when they were able to humble Tom Brady and the Patriots on a late Sunday evening.
They whooped the Bengals last week and now they face Deshaun Watson.
Will the Texans D be able to contain Lamar Jackson?
More importantly-will the Ravens be able to shut down Deshaun Watson?
Doubtful. Love the Texans here after a week off of having loads of time to watch Ravens games.
This will be a tight, fun game-but the Texans should prevail.
Texans WIN.

Jaguars (4-5) vs -3 Colts (5-4) +43.5

Big Dick Nick is swinging! Lock up your wives and tight ends.
Will Nick make a big enough difference in this game against Jacoby Brissett?
This is a hard one (pun intended), as Foles is kind of unproven despite looking good for a bit in Week 1.
The Colts still have a great O-line and defense, so it will be tough for Nick to get a rhythm going.
He will need to reply on Leonard Fournette to get some real action here.
This game SHOULD be a low scoring, close game.
The Colts seem to screw-up these division games
Jags COVER

-3.5 Patriots (8-1) vs  Eagles (5-4) +45.5

Is this really a retribution game if the Patriots don’t care & think that it is?
Philly will be looking to capitalise on the Pats loss against the Ravens, but obviously don’t have the tools to do so.
It will be interesting to see how their D chases Tom, as he loves to munch blitzes-so they will need to stagger rush.
The Eagles have Jay Ajayi back, which will make British broadcasters happy-but he has been off a bit, so doubtful he is in any form.
The Eagles will need to get a run going vs this crazy Pats D who has had a week off.
Billy B is deadly with a week off, so it’s hard to see the Eagles doing any damage to the champs here.
Eagles should keep it close though.
Eagles COVER.

Bears (4-5) vs -6.5 Rams (5-4)

Woe is Bears. With some key injuries affecting their D, as well as Kyle Long disappearing from the O-line, the Bears have struggled to get on form from last season.
Not as badly as the Rams, but bad.
I have gone on at length that Jared Goff looks ‘shell-shocked’ from the Super Bowl loss last year, and he doesn’t show any signs of getting better this season.
His O-line is a shambles, and their running game is not what it use to be.
The Bears need to establish the run, and chase the heck out of Goff to get some pick sixes.
Bears COVER.

Sunday Funday

by

Week 11 is here already!
Holy crap this season has smoked by quicker than you can imagine.

So where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
If you have never been to London before and are expecting an NFL experience like back in North America, you are going to need to temper down your expectations.

London is NOT a 24 hours city, sports bars generally close by 11, and the casinos are a great place to pay £8 for a pint and get no sound.
Or worse have your pockets picked.

It’s always nice when you can sort a traditional British pub that has NFL & is open late.

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End is not central London, but it’s close enough to it that you can watch all the games and still be able to shoot back into town.

You can get to the pub either via Finsbury Park station or Hornsey or Harringay train stations.
Alexandra Palace is right up the hill as well.

There are 3 massive TVs, plus the largest projector in North London.
It’s a great place to watch the games as well as enjoy some wings, burgers, and tasty cold beers.

So join us this Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
See you Sunday.

Oh Myles!

by

Myles Garrett is an idiot. Of course, you all know this by know after seeing that wild TNF game on Thursday Night Football.
He has been suspended for the rest of the season, and it’s considered ‘indefinite’, which could mean forever.
Luckily, no criminal charges were filed, as he could easily have faced a prison sentence for his reckless behaviour.

The Game

TNF on Nov 14th, 2019 was not a very important game with two teams barely able to muster a playoff run this season, but it was an emotional one.
It’s no secret that these two teams HATE each other.
Whether it’s the divisional rivalry, a lingering resentment amongst blue collar cities, or the fact that every time that they play each other-they get amped up.
This was a down and out dirty game.
With JuJu taking a blatant helmet to helmet hit, and after the play trash-talking increasing, it was evident that something was going to happen.
Violence was on the menu.

The Refs

What did the refs do?
In a season where refs have been on everyone like glue, you would have thought that they might have anticipated that this was going in a bad direction.
After the hit on JuJu’s head, did they take a moment to address the players and coaches and say ‘he guys, it’s time to tone this down.’
They didn’t.
This could have been avoided, and the refs should heed some of the blame in allowing this to go this far.

The Result

Myles Garrett apologised profusely after the incident, but as we know-that is just not enough.
When you watch the replay and see the intensity in his eyes, there was only one colour.
Red.
A red eyed intensity to bash the crap out of Mason Rudolph and everyone who got in his way.
No matter what he says after the incident, he was the one who pushed harder and harder throughout the game.
Did Rudolph kick him in the balls and try to rip off his helmet?
Hard to tell.
But he’s the QB. He is afforded a degree of protection, and if the refs did see something, then they should have nipped that in the bud asap.
Myles is going to need to disappear this season.
Just shut up, don’t be like Burfect, and accept your punishment.
If they decide you should NEVER play in the NFL again.
Accept that too.
Time to grow up son.

NFL Fights

by

Fight! Fight! Fight!
The refs are tough in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean they can stop all of the testosterone flooding onto the field every Sunday.
Fighting has continued in the NFL, and there ain’t nothing wrong with that!

Not sure if this video will get us flagged, but we thought we would share a nice little compilation of NFL fights that have happened up until week 10 in the NFL.

Again-these rights belong to the NFL-so this could get taken down-but what a shit show!

What would happen if we allowed some fighting in the NFL like the NHL?
If the NFL allowed 2 dudes to helmet off and batter each other for a few minutes until one capitulates?
Bring it on.

Who do you think the toughest guys in the NFL are?
Aaron Donald is a beast, Kahlil Mack could mess you up, and JJ Watt could crush you with a smile.
Not the same in the ring though.

Greg Hardy made the transition to MMA, so it only seems a matter of time before other players start doing it as well.

 

 

Best RB Quiz

by

NFL RB QUiZ

Can you name some of the best running backs in the NFL?
Are you able to smell out the ‘Sweetness‘, taste the ‘Juice‘, or will you be sucking up ‘Diesel‘?
Get 20/20 or get run over by the ‘Bus‘.

The answers to the quiz are at the end of video.

Walter Payton

Who would be my top running back of all time?
Not much time to think on this one.
It would have to be Walter Payton.
Sure, he’s a Chicago Bear, I have a bias to them, & he was one of my all time heroes growing up.
He’s still the best.
Walter was called sweetness not only for his fancy moves on the field, but of his charisma, charm and integrity off the field.

Emmitt Smith

I also grew up hating Emmitt Smith.
Only because my friend John Prpic was a Cowboys fan, and I loud bulwark during the heyday of Troy & the boys.
He was darn good though.
‘Catch 22’ could cut through a defence like Christmas paper and not leave any blood.
That Cowboys team was a solid one.

John Riggins

Diesel was crazy. I remember watching him in the 80s’ with my dad, & he was enthralled with how fierce Riggins was. Riggins played like he was on meth & enjoyed it. He beat up other teams, gashed yards & enjoyed it. Later on, he also delved into media, which was equally awesome to watch him try to act, and not like it was on a substance.
No personalities like that these days.

Bo Jackson

Everybody knows Bo.
Bo blew up my childhood more than when I created mustard gas when I was 10.
Watching him dominate in 2 sports was a revelation of potential.
Bo knew and did it all.
He was black Santa, that killed it in every sport.
When I’m drunk I don’t call my exes, I watch old video of Bo Jackson running up the wall to catch a baseball.

OJ Simpson

Say what you will about OJ, murdering his wife, being a dick, fathering a Kardashian..he actually played football. And like, good.
Juice gave Buffalo hope to a town that was only known for massacring, frying & marinating chickens for their non-flight ability.
That’s a lot of hope.

Jim Brown

Jim Brown was a bad ass-mofo.
Not only could NO ONE stop him on the field, he was cool off the field as well.
Brown beat up other teams with his punishing assault on their D line, putting the fear of injury in many a man who needed a smoke during the turnovers.
Number 32 was also a great actor and mentor as well as an inspiration to African American artists & athletes.

How many can you get right on this tough quiz?

I would be truly impressed if you could get 20/20 on the first go.

 

 

Wade’s Week 10 Parlays

by

Parlay-alay! It’s time to make some money in Week 10 of the NFL!
I’ve put together my top parlay list for Week 10 in the NFL so that you can make some money.

The one above is a great little earner.
The Browns to upset the Bills at home, the Cardinals to beat the spread in a high scoring Bucs game, Steelers D to win again, and the Chiefs to Mahomes away the Titans.

Here are some of my picks

Bills @ Browns (-2.5)

The Browns deserve to win here. They are feeling low, and a home win is what Mayfield needs to charge up the engines. The Bills are cruising at 6-2, and so they might want to experiment with this offence of theirs to gear up for a playoff run.
BROWNS WIN 24-20

Cardinals @ Bucs (-4.5)

Will Jameis be able to hold onto the ball & throw for 300 yards? Maybe. But the Cards are playing renegade football these days & Murray can run. This will be a big points game, but the Bucs turnover the ball too much & tank in the 4th.
CARDINALS WIN 27-23

Rams (-3.5) @ Steelers

The Steelers are like a broken toy that seems to be putting itself together. They are not entirely out in this division, and their D is holding them in some of these games. Injuries have been smarting, but so has the Rams O line. Goff hates being chased & often makes mistakes. He will be chased & picked in this one.
STEELERS WIN 28-26

Chiefs (-6) @ Titans

Mahomes is back! Hide your end zones! Patty is looking to bitch slap this Titans D & if they can get their running game pumping, they can surely start cooking to the finish line. Their D is solid, and that spells trouble for Ryan & his O line. Tannehill is going to be looking for a hill, because there will be nothing in front of him.
CHIEFS WIN 33-20

Ryan’s Midseason Awards

by

Ryan Cull is a comedian, writer, husband & Buffalo Bills fan.
All of these things are hard to be
Here are his nominations for the half-way awards.
An awards season for being almost there.

NFL in London Mid Season Awards

MVP – Christian McCaffrey

No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.

LVP – Baker Mayfield

The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.

Rookie of the Year – Josh Jacobs

Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!

Fantasy Player of the Year – Lamar Jackson

We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.

Other Awards

Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew

First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons

Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.

Week 9 Review

by

The Week 9 Review is here as Wade & Ryan look at all the week 9 games.

Wade took a beating going 4-8-1 and punching his stats in the gunt. Ryan was away so his picks don’t really count.

The Jaguars hosted the Texans, & it might have well been a cuckolding party as Houston ran a train on the femininity of Jacksonville.
Minshew needs to shave, & wait for the trade bus.

The Bears took another beating as Mitch Trubisky looks like Mr. Magoo when it comes to passing. His QB IQ has to be on the lowest scale of passers. Yeah, turn off the tvs-it won’t hurt as much.

Packers vs Chargers. So were the Pack-a-hella-hung after their Sat night in the city of herpes?
They looked more sluggish than a child asked to do chores. A delightful beating on the pack.

Listen to the podcast & you will find out why the ship-show goes to butnutts.
