Sky Week 7

by

What a nut bar of a week it was in the NFL, as it had more surprises than a gender reveal at a polygamy cult.
There’s nothing like seeing Aaron Rodgers strip on an imaginary belt only to have Tom Brady yank it off of him throughout the night.
Week 7 is upon us, and Sky has released their schedule of games so you know which games will be blacked out on NFL Gamepass.

Time Change

‘Spring forward, fall back, 2020 is a punch in the nut sack’ as the old farmers expression goes. Clocks in the UK fall back on Sunday am, not that anyone will be awake to see it happen this year.
Those of you planning on watching NFL this weekend, be aware that the games are EARLY. That means they start an hour ahead, so you can stay up later.
It also means football (soccer) will clash with even more games, not that we can go to pubs and watch the games.

TNF

Giants vs Eagles
1:20am

If you stay up late to watch this one, you might have some problems. These two teams, who have a combined 2 wins between them will be duking it out Friday morning to fewer viewers than the stuttering girl on Babestation. At least you want to see her make it to the end of the night, this game-not so much.

Sunday

Steelers vs Titans
5pm 

Warm up that Sunday roast, we have a battle on our hands! The battle of the undefeated kicks off at 5pm, allowing us to see a game when the sun is up. But since the clocks change, we also lose that 5pm sunshine. Carry on 2020! You won’t be able to watch this game on NFL Gamepass (unless you have a VPN). Sadly none of the bars we work with are planning on showing this game…so get the BBQ started and safe distance this bad boy.

49ers vs Patriots
8:25pm

This game looked great at the start of the season, but now both of these teams are adequate at best. The Seahawks vs Cardinals will be on Gamepass if you’re looking for an ‘action game’, but this one should be ok.
Billy B will be looking to stymie Kittle in this match, as Jimmy G climbs out of his hole to see if he can win a big game. This game will finish by midnight, which means you can watch it with the kids who are still on half term.

Monday

Bucs vs Raiders
12:20am 

Midnight is still late, but not too late when 2020 is a perpetual holiday of pain. TB12 and the boys are flocking to Vegas to beat on Carr & the boys. This game might actually be worth staying up for, as Tom & Gronk look to have the band back together again. It finishes before 4am, so you have plenty of time to start your paper route a few hours later.

Tuesday

Bears vs Rams
12:15am

Not too late to be able to catch the Bears visiting LA for this Monday Night/ Tuesday am matchup.
This game should be exciting, as the Rams are somehow favoured in this contest. How many times will Goff get sacked? A few. This game is also available on Channel 5 and Amazon Prime.

DraftKings Tips

by

Are you ready for some fantasy NFL for Week 3? The way that 2020 has been going, fantasy has been a hell of a lot better than reality. I’m here to give you some of my top tips for Sunday in the NFL.

Week 2 was a bit of a shit show, as teams were decimated by injuries to key people. While that doesn’t look good for the overall fantasy outlook, it does mean that some hidden gems could help make your DraftKings line-up this week. Here are some of my top tips to get you through week 3.

QBs

Nick Mullens $5100

Jimmy G and 40% of the 49ers squad is off this week, but it’s ok because they are playing the Giants.
I actually like the Giants to win this game, but that doesn’t matter that much in this pick. Mullens is a noodle armed backup that is surprisingly accurate in short to medium yardage. He won’t have much to throw to, but he will be able to get a few points off that crummy New York D.

Justin Herbert $5900

I really like this kid, he impressed last week and was fortunate enough not to get stabbed on the lung by the team doctor. Herbert is facing a weak Carolina D, and should be able to exploit some big holes & rack up some big points. For $5900 he’s a steal.

RBs

Jonathan Taylor $7000

This rookie has been ripping it up for the Colts, and he should find huge yardage against the garbage bag Jets. He’s well worth the $7k, as he will probably factor in at least 2 scores today.

Dion Lewis $5300

Saquon is gone, and the new guy is still getting use to the system, so look to see Lewis a lot in this game. The 49ers D is still fast enough to get to Jones, so he will need an option to toss the ball off easily.

WRs

TY Hilton $5600

Phillip Rivers and the Colts look to dismantle the Jets, so we should see TY Hilton ripping apart that ravaged secondary. At $5600 he is quite the steal.

Anthony Miller $4900

The Bears will look to exploit the big holes in Atlanta, and the speedy Miller has been a frequent target for Trubisky. This game should have a lot of points, so Miller will probably score a TD in this game.

TEs

Austin Hooper $4400

The Browns will be looking to smack up some points on Washington, and they are notoriously bad at covering the TE position. Look for Hooper to blast his way into the end zone in this game.

Hunter Henry $4800

A little pricier, but Henry will be a big target for Herbert in this game. He is a key player in redbone touches, and should factor heavily in this game.

DEF

Buccaneers $3700

These guys are fast, so when faced with an O line like that of the Broncos with a backup QB, they should factor heavily in getting to the QB. Loads of sacks in this one.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, so that you can play for free and cash every week.

Wade’s Draft

by

Lockdown, shock down, WTF is going to happen to this season? Thankfully the NFL Draft is here to save us with entertainment, sports & hope.

As an NFL fan I have been blissfully unaware of many of the top NCAA prospects heading into this draft. Sure, I know some of the top 30, but after that it’s as hazy as what day it is.

Heading into this draft though, it looks like Joe ‘Exotic’ Tiger King is off to Cincy in the easiest call of the night.

Chase Young is the best player here, so the Redskins will snap him up to lead their pressure corp.

Detroit is 3rd, but I think Miami might be nervous about their choice & could make a desperate move to get their man…Justin Herbert.

NY Giants hit 4th, & need the best OT to protect their QB & Saquon’s pathways. Jeff Okuduh is their pick.

Detroit uses their Miami trade to take their CB pick Jeff Okuduh from Ohio State& a further round pick for good measure.

LA Chargers test Tyrod by taking Tua, & signalling their change to a running QB. Is he worth the risk? Time will tell.

Who do you have? Are you watching the draft? Follow us & stay in touch. Stay safe & sane.

DraftKings Picks

by

Conference championships, only 4 teams, so who do you pick?
Obviously there is a lot of value to be had on the top picks, but DFS is also about finding value in the other WRs, RBs and Flexs in the bunch.

Wade McElwain makes his Conference Championship picks on DraftKings, to make your life easier.
Here are some of the top picks he likes his week.

QB

Patrick Mahomes-$7700

Dude came back from a 27 point deficit to chuck down 51 points. He could have score close to 70 if he didn’t take his foot off the gas. It’s hard to see anyway that Mahomes ISN’T the best QB stats wise this weekend.
Even if they lose (big leap) Mahomes will still put up 40 points and 300 yards.
He is at home with a wealth of talent to throw to.
He is the best QB this weekend bar none.

RB

Tevin Coleman $5700

The 49ers have several RBs at their disposal, and will have plenty of opportunities to use them in the Redzone, and to gash the Packers throughout the night. It’s a wealth of guys to choose from, but Coleman is one of those guys who can really blast it through for the score. He should get at least 1 TD Sunday.

Aaron Jones $6700

AJ is the Packers running game. While he was kept to just 38 yards the last time these 2 played, he should be able to get more Sunday, since he is their only solution. Jones should have a 120yd night, with at least 1 TD.

WR

Sammy Watkins $4600

There are so many weapons at Mahomes disposal, how do you pick just one? Watkins is one of those guys who seems to score in pressure situations. This veteran is a solid choice when it comes to the Redzone, as well as finding separation from defenders in the game. Watkins is a good value for someone who might get you an extra 8 points.

AJ Brown $5200

Brown has been a beast for the Titans this year, so it was a bit surprising to see him only go for $5200. He should have a good game, despite the fact that the Chiefs should smother him in coverage. They will need to go deep if they fall behind, and he is the one that they will target the most.

TE

Travis Kelce $7100

Kelce is THE TE to fear this Sunday. The Titans don’t cover TE’s that well, so he should be able to gash the Titans for loads of yards and a few TDs. Sure, $7100 is pretty high, but when you know how many score he should get (3?) then you know that he will pay off in points.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, and play in the numerous contests we have on for Sunday.

Good luck, and see you at Long Acre tonight!
