Welcome to London NFL!
We couldn’t be happier to have you, as the Atlanta Falcons and NY Jets touch down in the capital for a Sunday Funday match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Who’s going to win? What else is there to do in London? Who wins all the games Sunday?
All these questions answered and are, in this punchy podcast we call the Week 5 Preview.
London Game
The Jets and Falcons will face off at 2:30pm GMT (that’s 6:30am in California!), in an epic showdown at Tottenham stadium in north London.
Make sure that you double check all the rules, travel schedule and that you have your tickets before going!
If you show up with no vaccinations, carrying a garbage bag of your stuff, chances are you’re not going to have the best day.
Remember there are other people who also want to watch the game, so think about those people around you as well!

Jets (1-3) vs Falcons (2-2) +46
Yes, we have never had a set of winning teams play in a London game, but who cares? We have actual games here, so stop yer bitching.
Fortunately for the Jets, they finally won a game, after an inspired victory over the Titans. These emotions should carry them high into the sky for their flight across the pond.
Matt Ryan and the Falcons have another season of woe ahead of them, as the injury bug made an early visit to the team this season.
Kyle Pitts has yet to emerge as the big catch sensation that Atlanta envisioned, being needed more to shore up that patchy O line instead.
Ryan admitted on the podcast that he was ‘done’ betting on the Falcons, which leaves him no choice to bet on the Jets. He thinks that they will put out some inspiring play en route to a tight, tight victory.
Wade is big on Atlanta, as they seem to be the marginally better of the two struggling teams.
New York may have blown their celebration load last week, toasting their meagre victory like it would be their only win of the season. Experience wins in this low scoring game.
Ryan- Jets 24 Falcons 23
Wade- Falcons 24 Jets 20
Other games that the guys look at in this podcast.
Broncos (3-1) vs Steelers (1-3) -1 +40.5
The air is starting to leak out of Big Ben, as the Steelers slip further away from salvaging a rough season.
Their O line is atrocious, giving no one zero time to do anything.
Denver has quietly jumped to a 3-1 record off the back of an inspired defence, and mobile Teddy Bridgewater.
With Teddy down, it’s time for old man Drew Lock to return to face a patchy Pittsburgh D.
Ryan thinks that this is an easy, AFC get right game for the Steelers, as they stave off the bucking Broncos at home.
Wade doesn’t think that the fall from grace is down yet, with another batch of odd losses in the Pittsburgh future.
Drew Lock will be able to dink and dunk to get some plays off, while the running game will give the Steelers constant problems.
Ryan-Steelers 17 Broncos 13
Wade- Broncos 21 Steelers 18
If you want to hear the rest of our picks, listen to the whole podcast, you never know what tickles your fancy here.
Sports Bar & Grill Clapham is showing the Wilder vs Fury fight on Saturday night if you’re looking for a place to watch it.
Hope to see you Sunday night at one of our 3 fabulous NFL parties in London.
Stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the game!
