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

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.

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.
