Let’s break down the games and reasoning starting with.

AFC

Bills (10-6) vs -2.5 Texans (10-6) +42.5

The Bills have put together a pretty swell season this year. They outperformed everyone’s expectations, and Josh Allen has settled in nicely-using his legs to blast through weak defences.
The Texans have been plagued by injuries, and the D has struggled with injuries. Their real weapon has been the feisty Deshaun Watson, who humbles the opposition.
For me the real marker here is how they both played the Patriots.
The Texans smothered and deep choked the Pats en route to an easy victory.
The Bills however saw what the Titans will see later, a team in control.
Buffalo just doesn’t have enough tools to keep this one tight enough.
The Texans will be motivated at home, with JJ Watt looking to return to pump up this Texas sized reception.
Texans will just be too much for them.
Texans 24  Bills 20

Titans (9-7) vs -5 Patriots (12-4) +44

‘You lost to Miami’. That sentence will be ringing in the ears of all of the Pats this season.
It won’t sound very nice to them, and will serve as motivation this week.
They dismantled the Bills a few weeks ago, and it’s hard not to see how they won’t get back to that form.
A storm near Henry is looming over Foxboro stadium, and coincidentally it might look like Derek Henry.
Billy B always shuts down at least one piece of the opposition, so who will it be this week?
AJ Brown, Henry or Tannehill?
Weather will be a factor here, so look at taking the over.
When it comes to the final, it’s hard not to imagine the Patriots putting on a clinical operation on the Titans in a long, boring game.
Patriots 23 Titans 14

NFC

Vikings (10-6) vs -8 Saints (13-3) +49.5

Drew Brees at home in a dome. All of these things don’t point to a good result for the Vikings. Add to that the insult of the Diggs catch a few years ago, and you can see how the Saints would be motivated. Brees has been crushing records this season, and the team is riding high on his supply.
The Vikings are welcoming back their soldiers from injury. Cook and Thielen will be back in this game, but how healthy will they be against this tough Saints D?
While I like the Saints to win, I think the spread in this one is too high.
The Vikings have deep ball threat, and Zimmer will be looking to shake up the momentum of the Saints.
The Saints will win, but not by 8.
Saints 31 Vikings 24

-1.5 Seahawks (12-4) vs Eagles (9-7) +45

It beggars the mind that a 12-4 team would be a visitor in the playoffs, but here we are.
The Seahawks have been grounded this season by their running game.
They have been so devastated that they have resorted to Old Skittles, aptly name because his raging body sounds like a bag of Skittles when you shake it.
The Eagles are injured too, but their real injury is a mental one.
They haven’t really beaten anyone of respect this season, and they don’t exude the tools to win a championship.
Then there’s Russell Wilson, aka the Difference-Maker.
Seahawks 26 Eagles 20

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!

 

Playoff Picture

by

What a wild, and wacky week of the NFL!
We learned a lot of things from the Week 13 games, and it nicely sets up the action for the playoffs.
Only a few games left, and everyone of them counts.

There were a few epic matches in Week 13 that will affect the whole playoff scenario.
They include:

Bills vs Cowboys

The Cowboys were the real turkeys here, taking a beating from the Bills. Despite losing 2 games, the Cowboys move further up the playoff rankings thanks to the ineptitude of all of their division. The Bills continue to truck along, and make themselves a very unwelcome candidate to face in the Wildcard Games.

Titans vs Colts

Ryan Tannehill is for real! All hail our new GOAT! Ok, maybe he’s not that good-but he does a good job with that offence. Derek Henry is having a great year as well, thanks to that solid O-Line. The Colts are in freewill now, and it won’t be easy with another tough week ahead.
The Titans are another team you don’t want to face in round 1.

49ers vs Ravens

Well they slowed down Lamar…a bit. The 49ers lost a tough one to the Ravens in a wild weather weekend. It was a good, if not muted game-that saw how to beat both teams. They both move on in the playoffs, with the Ravens now in top spot in the AFC.

Eagles vs Dolphins

The Dolphins and Fitzmagic put the boot to the wingless Eagles, and that looks like their season. To lose to the Dolphins of 2019 is pretty damn embarrassing. And there has been a lot of shame going around this season. The Eagles pretty much handed it to the Cowboys.

Patriots vs Texans

So, Tom Brady is human after all. The Texans put the noose on the Patriots, and didn’t let go. With no offensive weapons at his disposal, Brady is going to struggle this season to go anywhere. The Texans have taken some big losses, but this win was HUGE in the tough AFC.

The playoff windows will change each week, with the NFC a hotbed of action.

Who will make the cut next week?

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.
