Ryan’s Late picks

by

Our own Ryan Cull makes his top picks for the 9pm (4pm) games so you don’t have to.
Is Ryan right? Generally no. But who knows this week? He made these sober so that’s a good start.

Cardinals vs -10 49ers

This is a big spread for a hurt team. Kyler Murray is a plucky sucker, so downing him 10 points will only inspire him. Big prediction here Ryan thinks the Cardinals will actually WIN! Yep, exclusive here. Bet your kids gender transition fund.

-4 Patriots vs Eagles

Brady & Billy are back from the break & ready to crumble lives. The Eagles might be that victim, but they too are motivated. Ryan likes the rested Pats to kick the birds.

Bengals vs -10.5 Raiders

Jon Gruden has his team playing competitive football. His squad is focused & playoff hopeful. 10 & a half points is a pretty big spread. Bengals should cover that embarrassing line.

Bears vs -6.5 Rams

The Bears & Trubisky are sucking hard, & they aren’t even establishing the run. Will that change this game? Jared Goff is also slumping, so this could be the battle of the suck. Bears to cover.

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.

Sunday Funday

by

Week 11 is here already!
Holy crap this season has smoked by quicker than you can imagine.

So where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
If you have never been to London before and are expecting an NFL experience like back in North America, you are going to need to temper down your expectations.

London is NOT a 24 hours city, sports bars generally close by 11, and the casinos are a great place to pay £8 for a pint and get no sound.
Or worse have your pockets picked.

It’s always nice when you can sort a traditional British pub that has NFL & is open late.

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End is not central London, but it’s close enough to it that you can watch all the games and still be able to shoot back into town.

You can get to the pub either via Finsbury Park station or Hornsey or Harringay train stations.
Alexandra Palace is right up the hill as well.

There are 3 massive TVs, plus the largest projector in North London.
It’s a great place to watch the games as well as enjoy some wings, burgers, and tasty cold beers.

So join us this Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
See you Sunday.

Oh Myles!

by

Myles Garrett is an idiot. Of course, you all know this by know after seeing that wild TNF game on Thursday Night Football.
He has been suspended for the rest of the season, and it’s considered ‘indefinite’, which could mean forever.
Luckily, no criminal charges were filed, as he could easily have faced a prison sentence for his reckless behaviour.

The Game

TNF on Nov 14th, 2019 was not a very important game with two teams barely able to muster a playoff run this season, but it was an emotional one.
It’s no secret that these two teams HATE each other.
Whether it’s the divisional rivalry, a lingering resentment amongst blue collar cities, or the fact that every time that they play each other-they get amped up.
This was a down and out dirty game.
With JuJu taking a blatant helmet to helmet hit, and after the play trash-talking increasing, it was evident that something was going to happen.
Violence was on the menu.

The Refs

What did the refs do?
In a season where refs have been on everyone like glue, you would have thought that they might have anticipated that this was going in a bad direction.
After the hit on JuJu’s head, did they take a moment to address the players and coaches and say ‘he guys, it’s time to tone this down.’
They didn’t.
This could have been avoided, and the refs should heed some of the blame in allowing this to go this far.

The Result

Myles Garrett apologised profusely after the incident, but as we know-that is just not enough.
When you watch the replay and see the intensity in his eyes, there was only one colour.
Red.
A red eyed intensity to bash the crap out of Mason Rudolph and everyone who got in his way.
No matter what he says after the incident, he was the one who pushed harder and harder throughout the game.
Did Rudolph kick him in the balls and try to rip off his helmet?
Hard to tell.
But he’s the QB. He is afforded a degree of protection, and if the refs did see something, then they should have nipped that in the bud asap.
Myles is going to need to disappear this season.
Just shut up, don’t be like Burfect, and accept your punishment.
If they decide you should NEVER play in the NFL again.
Accept that too.
Time to grow up son.

Wade’s Week 10 Parlays

by

Parlay-alay! It’s time to make some money in Week 10 of the NFL!
I’ve put together my top parlay list for Week 10 in the NFL so that you can make some money.

The one above is a great little earner.
The Browns to upset the Bills at home, the Cardinals to beat the spread in a high scoring Bucs game, Steelers D to win again, and the Chiefs to Mahomes away the Titans.

Here are some of my picks

Bills @ Browns (-2.5)

The Browns deserve to win here. They are feeling low, and a home win is what Mayfield needs to charge up the engines. The Bills are cruising at 6-2, and so they might want to experiment with this offence of theirs to gear up for a playoff run.
BROWNS WIN 24-20

Cardinals @ Bucs (-4.5)

Will Jameis be able to hold onto the ball & throw for 300 yards? Maybe. But the Cards are playing renegade football these days & Murray can run. This will be a big points game, but the Bucs turnover the ball too much & tank in the 4th.
CARDINALS WIN 27-23

Rams (-3.5) @ Steelers

The Steelers are like a broken toy that seems to be putting itself together. They are not entirely out in this division, and their D is holding them in some of these games. Injuries have been smarting, but so has the Rams O line. Goff hates being chased & often makes mistakes. He will be chased & picked in this one.
STEELERS WIN 28-26

Chiefs (-6) @ Titans

Mahomes is back! Hide your end zones! Patty is looking to bitch slap this Titans D & if they can get their running game pumping, they can surely start cooking to the finish line. Their D is solid, and that spells trouble for Ryan & his O line. Tannehill is going to be looking for a hill, because there will be nothing in front of him.
CHIEFS WIN 33-20

Wade’s Week 10

by

Week 10 is here, and I make my top picks for Week 10 in the NFL.

Last week was a dick-punch for me.
Sure, there were a few games that got away from me, but there were also some that were just a toss because of stupid mistakes made by stupid players.
I ended up going 4-8-1, which severely hurt the 74% high I was riding on previous to this.

Let’s hope I can rebound in Week 10, which has some truly stinker games in it.

Some of my top games to look at:

-6 Chiefs (5-3) vs Titans (4-4) +48

All hail Mahomes! That’s right, he screwed his knee back on and is ready to battle the Ryan Tannehill and the rest of the Tennessee team.
Matt Moore played great in his absence, and the D really came together for them when they needed it.
The Chiefs are pushing for that second home field spot, so they will be punishing teams like they did at the start of last season.
Look for this one to get out of hand.
Chiefs win big.

Falcons (1-7) vs -13.5 Saints (7-1) +44.5

Drew Brees is also back, and has had another week to rest and prepare for their division rivals.
Matt Ryan is also back after a week of watching his team lose AGAIN, so I wonder how motivated he will be?
13.5 points is a pretty big ask in this one, even with New Orleans playing at home.
Will they really want to crush the Falcons into dust, or do what they did last season and experiment?
Look for them to move the ball around, and you might even see Taysom Hill in there just for fun.
Kamara will still have a beast of a game.
Saints win-Falcons cover.

Cardinals (3-5-1) vs -4.5 Buccaneers (2-6) +52

Hmmm, the Bucs are favoured by 4.5 points exactly now? This seems a big spread give how Jameis loves to drop the ball. Sure, they can put up a lot of points, but they also make a lot of mistakes.
Kyler Murray is growing in confidence, and I could see him having a fun game here.
He will spread the ball around and run against this defense who will start seeing ghosts.
Cardinals WIN.

Dolphins (1-7) vs -10.5 Colts (5-3) +44

The Dolphins aren’t even trying anymore, and it shows soooo baddd. Why do the fans even bother going out to support them? The Colts have the aged Brian Hoyer in today, which makes me wonder what he can do? He had a great game last week in support, and this veteran could have another big game.
I am tempted to take him in the DraftKings pool, as he is very cheap-but he could also suck the big one for no points.
It is Miami though, and while they might suck, you can never really count them out.

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.

Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich

by

Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich is one of the hottest things in America right now.
Some might say that it’s hotter than Tom Brady.
Might say that, not for sure.

It was only a few weeks ago that Day Prescott was in the huddle, extolling the virtues of Wendy’s spicy chicken nuggets, so we know that NFL players are chicken obsessed.
https://www.12up.com/posts/video-dak-prescott-talking-about-wendy-s-spicy-nuggets-in-cowboys-huddle-is-hilarious-01dnjhjjsj42

So people will do ANYTHING to get their hands on these greasy, bird burgers.
How far does anything go?

Well take a look at this video and watch as this lady totals the side of her Mercedes trying to sneak into the drive thru.
Karma is certainly a bitch, and it looks like this lady might be as well.
What the heck was she thinking?
You can see her trying to angle her car in front of another car that was RIGHTFULLY in the drive-thru line.
She then proceeds to scrape her car against the metal bollard as she tries in vain once again to get to the line to get a chicken sandwich.

The best is the girl casually eating her sandwich while watching in silence as this moron destroys her car.
I wonder what she says to her partner when she gets home?
‘I was side-swiped, and they drove away!’
Uh huh.
Until he goes on YouTube.

Ryan’s Midseason Awards

by

Ryan Cull is a comedian, writer, husband & Buffalo Bills fan.
All of these things are hard to be
Here are his nominations for the half-way awards.
An awards season for being almost there.

NFL in London Mid Season Awards

MVP – Christian McCaffrey

No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.

LVP – Baker Mayfield

The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.

Rookie of the Year – Josh Jacobs

Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!

Fantasy Player of the Year – Lamar Jackson

We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.

Other Awards

Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew

First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons

Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.
