London is not an NFL city. Sure, we are fortunate enough to get 4 amazing games each year, but when it comes to watching and supporting the NFL at venues across the city-you will be hard pressed to find a good venue that is consistent.

Sadly, many of the sports bars (if you can call them that) and pubs shut early on Sunday nights, and even if they do show the NFL it will be without sound and after the footie has finished.

We have struggled to find good venues in the city that offer 1) a true NFL experience 2) good viewing with sound 3) open late 4) close to tubes/transit 5) good food and drink  6) not too expensive 7) truly care about NFL fans.
You would be surprised how tough it is, especially number 7.
Why? Big pub chains want you in, but they don’t really care to offer you a selection of games or listen to the fans.
It’s a work in progress, but it takes time.

Luckily, we have a great venue cracking on for the playoffs in the Long Acre in central London.
Recently refurbished with loads of TVs and amazing sound, it is one of the few places open late and willing to get late licenses.

Which is why we are very happy to be able to show the games this Sunday, with a late license going until the wee hours.
You can settle in and watch both games with sound.

We are charging a nominal amount for tickets to cover the license and security, but you get a great deal as a result.

The bar will be open until 4am, so that you can catch the end of the NFC Championship match.

We will also be showing the Super Bowl here as well.
There are LOADS of venues showing the Super Bowl in London this year, but ask yourself ‘do they ever show the NFL throughout the season?’
If the answer is ‘No’, ask yourself what kind of experience will they be putting on?
Probably one where they take advantage of you, grab your money and don’t offer anything of entertainment or sporting value.
Shame, shame, shame.

Join us for authentic NFL in London fun.

See you Sunday!

 

 

Week 17 Memes

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!

Wildcard Weekend

by

Where are you watching the NFL games this weekend?
Join us in central London as we host some great NFL viewing parties, courtesy of BetRegal.
We will be shacking up with the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden to host some Wildcard NFL parties until the wee hours.

On Saturday night, we will be offering tickets to the event to guarantee entry?
Why?
Well, it’s Saturday night in central London, and we want to ensure that your NFL viewing experience isn’t interrupted by non-NFL fans.
To do that, we need to secure a late license, so that we can also show the Titans vs Patriots game which will end around 4:30am.

Long Acre is offering a welcome beer offer and seat, so that you can make sure that you have a place to watch the games.
Looking for food and a ticket? Then grab one here, so that you and your mates can grab a table.
https://www.designmynight.com//london/bars/leicester-square/the-long-acre/nfl-wildcard-saturday

On Sunday, it will be a first come, first sit.
We will also offer preferential seating to people who want to book a group ahead of time, so that you aren’t waiting out in the cold.

Get in touch via this site if you want to snag a table for you and your crew.

There will also be a BetRegal table for anyone who wants to be on the game.
Just sign up via our BetRegal offer, and you will be given a seat at the table, as well as a welcome beer to thank you for playing.
There will be enhanced betting offers on the day as well.

Look forward to seeing you all this weekend.

 

Wades Late Picks

by

Greetings from Canada, where the games are a reasonable 5 hrs behind the U.K.

As I sit in a WildWings bar, scoffing some of the 101 flavours of chicken wings, I am struck by the crazy 1st game scores. Loads of teams are playing out of their heads, while others are trying to steady theirs.

Upon looking at the scores & spreads I have adjusted some of my 4pm game picks.

-9 Titans vs Texans

This game first came up as a 3 point spread, then rocketed to 9. The Texans are sitting loads of players, so you can see why. 9 points though? That’s just a bit much for my taste given how low these first game scores have been. I can’t see them making it that high. Texans cover.

Redskins vs -13 Cowboys

The Redskins have been like herpes this season, infecting & itching the opposition. The Cowboys need a win, but 13 points against a team who has been getting under the skin of every team? Doubtful. Heck, they might even win. Redskins cover.

-3.5 Eagles vs Giants

Go Daniel go! These two teams have had a wild season with each other, & this game will be the same. But remember the adage that ‘a team that needs to win, rarely does.’ Giants will make this game tough. Giants cover.

Steelers vs -1 Ravens

The Ravens will barely care about this game as they want to stay healthy. The Steelers want to go out with a bang, boom & happy ending. They will be motivated to finish 9-7 for the season & they should. Steelers win.

Make your bets on BetRegal, & see how you do with my picks.

Put down a tenner on these & make a nifty £124.90!

Good luck!

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!

 

Week 16-Saturday

by

The NFL on Saturday? What is this, Christmas?
Presents for everyone!
Week 16 is always a tough week to handicap, because teams play for the playoffs or players play to get traded next season.
After taking a bath in my picks last week, I am hoping to rebound with a solid weekend of NFL savvy.
How many can I get right this week?
Let’s start with our Saturday matches to see where my head is at.

-3 Texans (9-5) vs Buccaneers (7-7) +50.5

The Bucs are bringing back Jameis for 2020, so saddle in fans.
Jameis has continued to put up a buckled of points every week, despite tossing as many INTs and fumbling the ball.
He’s had 2 games in a row with 450+ yards, and he could continue that against a tired, and weakened Texans secondary.
His top 2 receivers will also be a gamete decision, so Perriman could see the ball quite a bit in this game.
The Texans will want a win, but with a Titans rematch in Week 17, they might not be as fully focused.
The Bucs have a solid front D that will force DeShaun into pressure situations to make mistakes.
Tampa is playing to a hometown Christmas crowd, so look for them to deliver a present in the form of a close game.
Texans will irk out the win, but barely.
Bucs COVER

Bills (10-4) vs -6 Patriots (11-4)

The battle of the AFC East, as the plucky Bills have strung together their first 10 game win season since the Doug Flutie years.
Tom Brady has been playing ‘meh’ football thanks to a paltry receiving corp and an offensive line that has seen a lot of new faces.
The Pats D keeps them in games with Gilmore ripping the ball from anyone in sight. John Brown will have a tough matchup here.
Josh Allen will need to move his feet to get rid of the ball, as he will probably see a lot of pressure from that fast Pats D.
Beasley should have a good fantasy game, as he will probably be the X factor that the Patriots ignore.
Edeleman looks sort of injured, so don’t see him having a ripper of a game.
The Patriots will do what they do. Go up early, face a comeback, then rip the guts out of them to close it out.
Patriots WIN

Rams (8-6) vs -6 49ers (11-3)

What are the Rams doing? First they are able to string a few wins together, then they look to implode on themselves. The 49ers are hurting after their losses, seeing their position in the playoffs drop to a lowly Wildcard spot. They need a win here and will have some healthy bodies back to do it.
The 49ers front line will be all over Goff, who’s O line has been patched together with old and new.
Jimmy G should have a great game, feasting on Kittle and letting Mostert gash through whatever is left.
Goff will struggle in this win, unless he is able to master some deep ball, which is an issue for the 49ers in recent weeks.
The Niners need this win. Both teams are desperate to make the playoffs, but San Fran doesn’t want to watch all of that hard work go to waste.
49ers WIN

Make sure you join our DraftKings League to play in our weekly contests. Just because you are out of your fantasy league, doesn’t mean you can’t play weekly.

Bear Fight

by

The Bears laid a beating on the Cowboys on TNF, but it wasn’t just limited to the field.

Thanks to the savvy, sober fans at the game, they were able to pick up this post game melee in the concession area.

Watch as a few Bears fans get the better of a couple of Cowboys fans who are hell bent on a little fist a cuffs.

The Bears fan gets a few shots in, while the Dallas fans are left to struggle to contain their adrenaline. The fight just like the game is pretty much over. And just like the Cowboys, these guys will have to face the video the next day to see the extent of their ass-whopping.

It’s never great to see violence in the stands, or at a game. You look like a drunken idiot who can’t control your emotions. Add to this children as spectators, and this needs to be ended immediately. Fortunately in North America, this doesn’t happen very often.

If you have any fight videos, please send them to us as well. As much as we deplore violence at any NFL event, we do love a scoop-so please send them to us direct so we can ‘WorldStar’ the crap out of your content.

Bear down.

 

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.

We will be offering some great new betting options with our friends at BetRegal, as well as our daily fantasy offerings with DraftKings.

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.
