Luckily ‘The Draw Play’ has come up with all of the NFL logos reimagined if they were under Corona lockdown. Anything about sports…humour and the NFL, we’re in.
Have a look, a laugh, and stay safe!

The world is going to hell and a hand basket. Still don’t know what that expression fully means, but if there were any hand baskets left on the shelves, I would happily hoard them.
As we all face a global lockdown, the NFL has been pumping at a fevered pace. Trades galore have been shuttling through social media and it can be pretty hard to keep up with what really has been happening.
The one thing that has happened is that Tom Brady is no longer a Patriot.
It’s hard to fully digest that information with what is happening in the world, especially the idea of TB12 moving to Florida & the NFC.
Sure, it makes sense for the oldest guy to retire in Florida-that’s what everybody does.
Now Tom is a member of the Tampa Bucs, and it sends a shockwave of change across the whole league.
The dominance of the Patriots has come to an end…or has it?
Will Belichick give up that easily? Or will he lick his wounds, soft out on the season to draft a QB in 2021?
Brady to the NFC brings with it a whole host of new rivalries. Brees suddenly has to face Tom twice a year at least, and the Bucs have enough speedy receivers for Tom to under throw.
Then there’s the whole Jameis Winston situation, who must be looking at self-isolation as more of a pity party than anything. Will he end up on the Chargers, or will they look to take Cam or Dalton?
There are still many ‘what-if’s in this situation, and too many possibilities to count at this moment.
They best way to deal with this new situation?
Madden.
Trade Tommy to the Bucs, and settle in for a full season.
What are the chances he makes the Super Bowl this year?
How much do you know about the SuperBowl?
Are you an NFL genius who can master this tough quiz?
Let’s see what you can do!
It’s time for our SuperBowl Quiz!!
The quiz has 40 tough questions, so you will need a pen and paper to get you through it.
It’s broken down into 2 rounds of 20 questions each.
Each round will have numerous picture and ordering questions, so make sure you pay attention.
You may even want to pause the video during some questions so that you can take in the visuals.
When we ask you to put questions in ‘order’, that means we want you to start with the earliest, and then end with the most recent. First to last if you will.
How many can you get right out of 40 questions?
We will be posting the answers to the quiz this week, so get started and see how many of them you can answer.
Make sure you share it with your friends as well. Who can get the highest score?
The offseason is SOOO boring! Luckily Wade & Ryan are here to inject some humour and insight into the the doldrums that is March.
What are you doing to kill the time in the offseason? Have you been playing Retro Bowl? You should. It’s fun.
Some of the other things the guys talk about in this podcast.
Yes, it’s scary-but chances are you won’t die from it (unless you’re over 80.)
The guys talk about the potential for other sporting events facing the corona chop, and how it might affect the NFL.
Will the International Games be safe? Will the virus have disappeared by then?
AE signs for a 4 year deal effectively tossing Melvin Gordon to the curb. What other bold moves will the Chargers do to keep their fans happy?
There are claims of Dak being offered $105 million smacker-roos, but is that too much for a guy who has not been that effective playoff wise? Will the Cowboys blow their wad on him and make the team weaker as a result.
It’s our regular feature ‘where will Tommy go’? The hype train is ready to pull into the station, where will with wheel of TB12 land?
Listen, laugh, love, repeat. This is the podcast you wash your hands too.
Where are you going for the SuperBowl? Are you watching at home? With friends? Or hitting the town to paint the town red, white & blue?

We will also be doing loads of fun bets with our friends at BetRegal as well.
See you SuperBowl sunday!
And then there were 4. Where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
Why not join us at Long Acre in central London to watch all the games until the wee hours.
Most places in London will NOT show these games, as it is a Sunday night.
Long Acre will be blasting the games across all the TVs with sound.
Head down to Central London so you can watch all the games.
See you Sunday.
And then there were 4.
2 from the AFC, 2 from the NFC in the final battle to determine who goes to the Super Bowl.
We have been here every year since the NFL began, but Sunday is particularly sweet because there are no New England Patriots playing in this one.
It seems…nice.
So who wins the two games tonight?
Wade & Ryan break down their thoughts on the game, and make their predictions on who wins the games on Sunday.
Make sure you visit BetRegal to bet on the games, and play in our DraftKings Leagues to make your DFS picks.
The Titans have finally made it to the AFC final. Through some plucky plays, and the legs of Henry, the Titans finally have a shot at the big game. Or do they?
Do they have a chance against these Chiefs who came back from a pounding to thrash the Texans?
Maybe.
The Chiefs can be scored on, which was evident last week.
The real question is can the Titans compete in a game when they go down by a few scores?
Then they have to rely on Tannehill, which won’t go well.
Both Wade & Ryan have the Chiefs downing the Titans comfortably and moving on to the SuperBowl.
When these two teams met in Week 12, it was rather ugly. The Niners beat up on the Pack 38-7, and chased Aaron Rodgers all over the field.
Could the same happen again this week? Maybe.
But you can see how the Packers would have learned from that game, and applied some other routes to get Adams open.
Bosa will have his hands full of Bulaga, which should give Rodgers some more time.
Jimmy G had a stellar game last week, but doubtful if he will replicate that after the Packers D’s performance last Sunday.
The Packers should be able to keep it close, but both Wade & Ryan have the 49ers nudging out the game for a victory.
Both guys see the Super Bowl being made up from the Chiefs and 49ers.
Join us tonight at Long Acre where we will be watching the AFC contest. Bar closes after the game.
See you tonight!
It’s time for the NFL Wildcard games, where are you watching them?
Join us at the lovely Long Acre pub in Covent Garden to catch all the games on Wildcard Sunday.
The pub is free entry, but we do recommend getting in touch with us if you have a group, as tables will disappear quickly.
The pub will show both games.
See you Sunday
Do you even DFS bro?
I do, and I have created a DraftKings line-up for Wildcard Weekend so that you don’t have to!
Make sure you join our DraftKings League so that you can play against us every week and win cash and fame.

So who are you choosing for your tea this weekend?
Who will give you the most bang for your buck for the points?
Let’s take a look at some of the dudes I have selection for my Wildcard DraftKings team.
Of the 8 QBs playing this weekend, DW is the fastest, most scrambling QB of the bunch. With a bevy of WRs at his disposal, Watson will be looking to torch the Bills secondary. Buffalo has a fast front, so also look for him to dump the ball off, short pass it and of course run the ball. A good deal at $6400.
Sure, the Vikings have a fast front D, but they also have to worry about Michael Thomas and Drew Brees. The Vikings will look to stop Kamara, but they may not be able to catch on to his pass options. Kamara will cause havoc in the backfield as he gashes them for yards. A bit pricey, but worth it.
The Patriots have used Harry sparingly with good results throughout the season. When it comes to the blustery playoffs, TB12 will be looking at players who can both run and catch for short yardage. Enter N’Keal, who can do both. He won’t be the number one all day, but he will be used in strong situations where they need someone to beast it across the line, or for those redzone toss ups where the big man gets it. A steal at $4100.
He was THIS close last week against the 49ers, and there’s a good chance we will see a lot of him this week. He can muscle his way up the middle, and has a big frame that’s hard to take down once he gets going. Hollister is coming up as one of Russell Wilson’s favourite targets, so he should get plenty of action this week given the injuries to the team. A good value TE at $4300,
I like to look at the biggest point spreads when determining what D to take in DraftKings. For one thing, they will be losing and need to stage a comeback. Desperation yields necessity, and I necessarily think that the Vikings will go into a hole on Sunday. The Vikings like to do deep, so that means the ball will be up in the air a lot against a tough Saints D. For $3000 they have value.
Join our DraftKings League and start playing right away. You can play for FREE or win CASH in weekly contests. Wade & Ryan give their tips as to who to go with every week.
Also take Wade’s bets this weekend with BetRegal. The odds are 14:1 on his picks, so you can win big this weekend.
Come see us at Long Acre Pub in Covent Garden to watch all the games. Open late on Saturday.
See you soon!
