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.

Week 10 Preview

by

Week 10 is already upon us! Geez-this season has just blown by.
Not blown by if you’re a Dolphins, Bengals or Browns fan…but some some-just blown by.

So who wins the big games in Week 10 of the NFL?
Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull are here to break down some of the big games in this podcast.
Make sure you subscribe and listen every week so that you don’t miss out.

Some of the games that they talk about this week include:

The Battle of New York

This would have been epic, in say another time or dimension, but this game is looking like it’s going to be a ‘boo-fest’ of displeasure.
The Giants have been beaten up worse that gravity and posture could ever humble a Giant, while the Jets look like they are being flown by JFK Jr.
This game will stink really bad.
Wade & Ryan discuss how.

Bills due in Brown-Town

The Browns are favoured by 2.5 points in this game, which might seem a bit insane-until you realise that the Bills have barely played anyone this season of value.
The Browns will be hungry and at home, and Baker Mayfield better show some signs of life-or this whole team that they assembled won’t be worth it.
Wade and Ryan both think the Bills are due a loss here.

Soldier On

The Bears host the Lions on the eve of Remembrance Day, and Soldier Field will be feeling pretty dang patriotic.
Can Mitch Trubisky put together a capital effort here against the Lions.
Given that they usually play Detroit well at home, this is a MUST win game for Mitch.
The crowd will be loud, and the further Mitch falls behind, the more the crowd will want his head.
Wade & Ryan both think the Bears can pull this off though.

Tennessee Hoedown

Patrick Mahomes is back! He rotated that knee back into place and he is ready to take on the Titans at home. Matt Moore put in a good performance, but after the Pats lost last week-the Chiefs have to feel motivated that they aren’t out of this.
Ryan Tannehill will be chased, poked and prodded and will face a tough day from this improving Chiefs D.
Mahomes should have a big day, and the Titans will fall.

Week 9 Preview

by

Week 9, which means the final London game between the Houston Texans & Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wade McElwain & Callum Squires break down all the NFL games for week 9.
They have a lot of games that they think the same, and a few surprising ones where Callum is left shaking his head.
Wade is averaging 9 wins per week, so probably good to listen to him.

Some of the games they look at this week include.

Redskins (1-7) vs Bills -9.5 (5-2) +36.5

Both Wade & Calum think this line is way too high. The Bills are coming off a blowout against the Eagles, and the Skins are playing plucky football. Sure, the Bills will probably win, but 9.5 points is too much given how tired they might be after the drubbing last week.
Take the Redskins to cover.

Bears (3-4) vs Eagles -5 (4-4) +44

Don’t get Wade started on the Bears. As a fan he is vehement in his disdain of Trubisky, and the Nagy system. The Bears are continuing to slide, and the D won’t have it. The Eagles blew out the Bills & have some momentum, but can they keep it up this week? The Bears play better away, as the boos aren’t so hurtful. 5 points is pretty high in this one.
Bears to cover.

Texans -1.5 (5-3) vs Jaguars (4-4)

Minshew mania is in London to kick off Movember, but can the Jags use home field advantage to keep the feisty Deshaun Watson at bay?
Callum likes the Texans to spread it around and trouble the Jags, handing them another loss.
Wade likes the Jags to use home field, a power running game, and a tired Texans team that is seeing injuries mount.

DraftKings Advice

by

I started playing daily fantasy football after I won my league for the first time in its 17 year existence. I was the Chicago Cubs of my league, mocked by other teams, prone to unbelievable collapses but on one Christmas Eve, I did the impossible. I won my league for the first time. Best. Christmas. Ever.

I thought to myself, “I know a lot about football, I watch all the fantasy shows, listen to all the podcasts. Easy money!” It didn’t take long for me to realise that even though I may know a lot about football, I don’t know enough to beat a computer algorithm. When I realised I was going against Skynet I changed my strategies and it’s worked out. It’s not big money, but it makes Sunday more bearable when each week you watch your chance of winning another league championship disappear. Here are a few tips from a guy who won’t win you a lot of money, but can win you tiny amounts at a time.

Double Ups

These are my favourite kind of tournaments. Basically, all you have to do is finish in the top half everyone. You bet $10, you win $10. This was actually how I played online poker back in the day when that was popular. Member poker? Anyway, if you think you are an average player with a few good instincts, then these are your tournaments. Don’t be stupid, do a bit of research online and you should double your money a majority of the time. Unless you suck. 

$3 Mega Tournament

Think about this tournament in the way you would think about a lottery ticket. You could hit the big one, but the chances are very slim, but if you did, it wouldn’t be because of luck. It would be because of your big, beautiful brain. Assume you’re going to lose this every time and when you win anything it feels nice, and it’s still because of you!

Do Your Research

There are so many websites that offer DFS help, tips by people that are way better then you at fantasy. (Yes, I know you won your league, shut up already) Use these resources. If a bunch of people tell you not to play Todd Gurley, and you play Todd Gurley because you’re a Rams fan, then gambling isn’t for you. Watch YouTube videos as well. The internet has all the answers, you just need to sift your way through the shit to get to the diamonds! 

And the last tip which always comes into play once a week – Go with your gut!
