MNF-Pats v Jets

by

It’s MNF mofos, and the Patriots look to silly-slap the NY Jets.
Will they win?
Yes-according to our pundit Wade McElwain.

He predicts the Patriots to beat the Jets, but barely in a hotly contested home match.
The Jets are coming off an emotional and needed home win, and host their division rivals who are spotted 10 points in this.
Tom Brady and his wicked D will bring mayhem to New Jersey, but will prove to be too much for the Jets.

The Jets will come out swinging, the Patriots & Billy B will look to shut down Sam Darnold and his passing options.
If the Jets can slot to Bell, they should get enough points to stay in this.

Take the Jets to cover, 10 points is too much for a Monday night contest.

Week 7-BBQ Picks

by

It’s Sunday Funday.
Who do you have for your NFL bets?

Our man Wade McElwain makes his Week 7 picks as he BBQ’s an NFL feast.
What’s on his menu?

Beef Brisket

Jacoby Brisettt is Wade’s brisket, who is hungry to feast on the Texans.
They might be fresh off an emotional win, but the Colts are fresh off a bye week, & being at home.
Colts slice up a close win.

Chicken

Jared Goff had some great stats. close games, but no wins lately. His O-Line is as bad as the Falcons, who host the Rams on Sunday. Atlanta can’t stop the rush, and it’s going to be bad for them this Sunday.
Look for them to eat the white meat.
Rams win big.

Chicken Wings

The Bears host the Saints, who have shaken and baked some wins without Drew Brees. The Bears last played in London, where fatigue and the Raiders hit them hard. Kahlil Mack will rip Teddy Bridgewater apart like a basket of wings.
Dip them in sauce, make it hot, the Bears will punish at Soldier Field.
Bears win.

Week 7-Draftkings

by

Welcome to injury week, where teams struggle to fulfil their line-ups with a rag-tag collection of bodies who don’t break when they bend.
Numerous teams are struggling with injuries, so what does that mean for your DFS team?
Value.

One thing to keep in mind when putting together your DraftKings team is who are the Dolphins playing? And the Redskins. And the Falcons.
Imagine a security guard with narcolepsy, who just lets in everyone.
Those are those teams.
The more they score, the better you do.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some value in the games.

Matt Stafford (QB)-$5200
Stafford and his pissed-off Lions are hosted the Vikings in the dome on Sunday.
While the Vikings are riding a short high after 2 wins, are they ready for a Lions team looking for justice?
The Vikings are good against the run, but Stafford will have time thanks to his O-line to open up some space.
TJ Hockenson will be a likely and deserved target.
Stafford is posting an average of 19.4FPPG, and after the late loss to the Packers in Lambeau, the Lions will be looking for heads….and touchdowns

Allen Lazard (WR)-$3000
The Packers WR corp is like a broken toy box. Should you bother trying to put them back together, or just use some new toys? That’s what they will be doing this week, with Adams, Allison and Valdes-Scantling all injured.
So who will Aaron Rodgers hit? The speedster that is Allen Lazard.
At $3000, he is great value for the price, and sure to justify his value.

Devin Singletary (RB)-$5400
Buffalo’s speedy rookie is back from injury, and looking for space against the lowly Dolphins.
The weather looks good in wing-town, which means a nice bright future for Singletary.
Look for Josh Allen to use him in many forms in this game.
A steal at $5400.

Latavius Murray (RB)-$5100
Alvin Kamara is out, so what will Teddy Bridgewater bring to the table to face the mighty Bears D? They’ll lean on veteran RB Latavius Murray to try to open up the lanes and take the pressure off from the D. While it looks to be a low scoring game-Murray will take the brunt of the work, and potentially the bulk of the points.

Other players to consider include:

  • DJ Chark Jr (JAX)-$6000
  • DK Metcalf (SEA)-$4800
  • Matt Breida (SF)-$5300
  • Jake Kumerow (GB)-$3600
  • Phillip Rivers (LAC)-$5500

Blowing out Kids

by

‘They’re just kids.’
That’s the rallying cry of any youth sports game that gets out of end.
Too often we hear about belligerent parents who get heavy-handed in sporting events, or even start getting into fist fights in the stands with each other.

But what about a coach who runs up the score in youth football?
Kyle Williams is a coach for an under 7 team in Philadelphia.
His team went up by 30 points, in a league where that’s not considered ‘fair’ and teams get penalised for it.

So coach Williams did what any good coach would do, he benched his starters-and put in his 5 year olds. Yep, those pissy pants 5 year olds.
Sadly one of those 5 year olds can ball, and was able to run the ball back for a TD.
That put the team up 36-0, and coach Williams in the dog house with the league.
He now faces a $500 fine for running up the score.
$500?
He’s going to need to sell their Christmas presents to pay off that debt.

Lions vs Packers

by

Who likes garbage?
Nobody except NFL referees, as they tossed garbage around the field in the name of penalties.

This was an atrocious day for refereeing in the NFL and they should either be shamed, blamed, benched or fired.
Having ref’d a few high school games in my day, even I would walk off the field if I was dinged for a ‘too many men on the field’ call.

The Detroit Lions feel robbed, and rightly so.
The officiating in the NFL is getting worse, how does this happen?
How do we have more scrutiny on the game and in their ears, and they continue to make horrible and dishonest calls.

Either they’re too dumb, or they’re on the take.
When you’re making $200,000 a year, your eyes and your ears should be on form for the game, but not these guys.

Someone needs to start a ledger of which refs continually screw up, and then trash them.

It’s really starting to ruin the game, and someone has to do something.

Now the Packers are 5-1. Way to go refs!
