Week 3 Preview

by

An epic week of game awaits as we head into another tasty week of the NFL.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull break down all their picks and predictions in this Week 3 Preview podcast.

If you love the podcast, come meet us in person this week, as we hit the sports Bar & Grill Old Street. It’s open until 12:30am, so you can watch all the games until the tubes shut.

Best of all, we’re running a DraftKings contest this week, where the winner gets 2 tickets to the Dolphins vs Jaguars at Tottenham stadium.
This is the only contest where you can win.

We’ve got parties on for the London games as well as all of the London locations. Get in touch if you want to book a table.

As for the picks this week, Wade and Ryan have a crazy amount of similarities in their picks, despite not having chatted about it prior.

Among some of the games they discuss in this one:

Ravens (1-1) -8 vs Lions (0-2)  +50

Baltimore is fresh off a beating of the AFC title holders, with a duke and dunk scheme by Lamar Jackson that was enjoyable to watch. Despite having a slew of injuries, Baltimore was once again able to show why they are contenders in the division.

Detroit is bad. Just bad. Goff has been saddled with a broken team and even worse, trapped in a broken vision for the franchise. What they heck are they doing there on Michigan?
The Lions are continually faded in games because anyone can score on them.

Ryan thinks that Lamar and the boys will rip another hole through the roof of the Lions, with an easy victory to continue their AFC bravado.

Wade feels that the Ravens will tear off to an early lead, but fall victim to the resolve of the Lions who will look to TJ for late points to make this close.

Ryan- Ravens 34 Lions 23
Wade-Ravens 30 Lions 24

Washington (1-1) vs Bills (1-1) -7.5 +45.5

The Bills return home to northern New York, after disappointing home fans against the Steelers in their opener. Josh Allen has been fine, but not as great as people have hoped thus far.

Washington and their new QB haven’t been given much hope, and their D has shown a lot of nope in their first two games. It won’t be easy against a Bills D that stiffs the run with ease.

Ryan is all over his Bills, calling this one by 10000 points. He does think that the Bills should handle the new QB, as well as get the ball out deep to some Diggs action.

Wade sees the Bills once again struggling at home, but this time getting the win. Washington will use this one as a chance to get the D rocking again, and Josh Allen will struggle.

Ryan-Bills 38 Washington 20
Wade-Bills 24 Washington 18

Falcons (0-2) vs Giants (0-2) -3  +47.5

The Falcons can buy a win. Matt Ryan and the boys have been beaten by two top teams on their way to a battle against an equally struggling New York.

The Giants have all the hype, but no winning wipe. Daniel Jones is running from the devil every week, and it’s only a matter of time before that turns into an ugly scene unless he gets protection.

Ryan is believing in Atlanta one last time. He utters this phrase every season, but at varying intervals. This year we get it at week 3. He thinks that they can overcome the sad Giants to an upset.

Wade likes DJ, and is down on the home squad. Sterling Shepherd is on the fantasy list this week, as the Falcons will be forced contain a whole host of passing options.

Ryan- Falcons 27 Giants 23
Wade- Giants 24 Falcons 20

That’s it for this week, listen to the whole podcast to get all out picks and predictions.

Join the DraftKings contest and we’ll see you on Sunday!

Week 3-London

by

Summer is a done’r, as we pumpkin spice our way into another NFL season.

With the leaves starting to fall, children settled back into their schedules, and fantasy football taking over our lives, everything is starting to feel like football again.
And that’s a good thing!

A weekend of sports lies ahead, and if you’re looking to watch the NFL games on Sunday, we can offer you several things to do for Week 3-London.

Sports Bar-Old Street

The most happening NFL party in the city, as well as the biggest!

With over 45 TVs, pool tables, hot wings and cold beer, the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street is your NFL central for the 2021-2022 season.

The Sports Bar and Grill will be showing ALL of the NFL games on Sunday, as well as Redzone and the Sky NFL game.
Make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment!

The Sports Bar Old Street is open until 12:30am, with a last call at midnight.
This gives you plenty of time to not only get your drinks in, but also stumble across the road to Old Street station and its many transport links.

Best of all, this week we are hosting our DraftKings contest, so that you can win tickets to the game between the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars.
The winner of the contest claims the tickets and the bragging rights!

https://www.draftkings.co.uk/draft/contest/114108483?bypassChallPop=true

This is the ONLY contest you can win the tickets in, so make sure that you enter this contest for the chance to win.
Winners must be UK residents, and able to make the game on October 17th.
Tickets will not be allowed to be resold.

Just an FYI that there is a football match (Tottenham vs Arsenal) at 4:30pm GMT.
The pub will be packed with soccer fans, but don’t worry, the bar has a dedicated NFL area, and will start the games on time.
Once the footy is over, all TVs will be switched to NFL so that you won’t miss much.

Sports Bar-Clapham

South London will be basking in the NFL on Sunday, as the Sports Bar & Grill hosts another great Sunday of NFL.

Located right off the high street, this amazing bar has loads of TVs, plus great wings and a fine selection of beers to round out your afternoon.

The bar will be showing most NFL games, but if there’s one that you want to catch, just ask a member of their helpful staff, and they will be glad to find it for you.

Unlike the Old Street location, Clapham closes at 11pm, so you will only be able to watch the 6pm games in their entirety.

If you would like to watch the late games, join us in Old Street.

Crouch End

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End has been showing the NFL for years.

Locals can count on this intrepid sports pub for all forms of sports entertainment, and the NFL is just another fine feather in their caps.

The Alex is open until 12:30am, which means that punters can not only enjoy both the 6pm and 9pm games, but also make it back to the tube in time before it shuts.

Local transit hubs include Finsbury Park, Highgate, Turnpike Lane, Hornsey and Haringey train stations.

We are gearing up for the pre and post parties around the 2021 London games as well.
We will be throwing parties at BOTH the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street & the Princess Alexandra.
The Sports Bar has a late license until 4am, which means that you can watch ALL the games, as well as not have to worry about having to rush home to get the tube.

Look forward to seeing you all this Sunday, and at other NFL events going forward!

Top 5 QBs

by

The 2021 NFL season has barely even begun, and we are already starting to see some players who look to dominate the stats. 

Brady has been ageless, Lamar has been inspiring, Daniel Jones fleet footed, and Kyler Murray has just been sublime.

Let’s take a look at some of the top players to pop their heads up thus far this season, in our way too early ‘Top 5 QBs’ predictor. 

Tom Brady

It is rumoured that the fabled fountain of youth is somewhere in Florida after being discovered by Ponce de Leon.
Given that the way that TB12 and company have been playing thus far this season, it’s safe to say that the Bucs may have found that fountain. 

Boasting 9 touchdowns in only 2 games of the season, Brady is on target to have one of his best years yet.
Adding to this is that new, mental health smile that Tommy wears in every interview.

Unlike during his days on the Pats, Brady actually looks like he wants to be there, and is having fun.
That’s a huge motivator to his O line and rest of the team, as they get to watch an old man playing a game that he loves. 

Here’s his Insta if you want to help spread his love.
https://www.instagram.com/tombrady/

If Brady & Gronk keep connecting like they have been, Brady and the Bucs should be a shoo-in to make the final 4 of the 2021 NFL season. 

Matthew Stafford

Oh what the wonders of switching teams will do to a man. 

After a long suffering spell at the Lions with their shaky offensive line, Matthew Stafford has finally moved on to his forever team. 

Matt impressed with a definitive week 1 beatdown of the Bears, followed up by a tough, but inspired win against the frustrated Colts. 

Stafford has quickly found the hands of Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee, as he looks to turn the team into contenders after struggling under the arm of Goff. 

Just like Brady took a few games to get the Bucs going last year, it might be a few more weeks before we see the Rams in full punishing mode, as they look to find their feet in the season.

Derek Carr

Sorry, did you say Derek Carr?

Yep, this Las Vegas gunslinger has been lighting up the league early in the 2021 season, with wins over the Ravens and Steelers to solidify their status as ‘scary’ for upcoming opponents. 

Despite being bounced around in these contests, Carr is leading the league in passing this far, and it isn’t even close. 

Chucking for over 800 yards, Carr has been spreading the ball like peanut butter to his whole host of receivers and the big-balling Darren Waller. 

Critics are quick to predict the imminent downfall of the Raiders, ignoring the fact that they handled both AFC contenders quite easily. 

Losing Josh Jacobs in week 2 put a lot more pressure on Carr’s battered body, but his competitiveness has shone like a bright light on the strip. 

Russell Wilson

Do you smell that?
It’s Russ cooking in the kitchen, and things are starting to heat up.

Wilson has been peppering Tyler Lockett with deep balls, while feeding the beast that is DK.

Despite a tough second half in week 2, Russ has continued to pour on the points, adding 5 touchdowns to his career tally in 2021.
What’s even more impressive is that Wilson has zero interceptions thus far this season, something even Aaron Rodgers can’t boast about. 

The Seahawks often have mid-season break downs piled on by injuries, so we will have to see how chef Wilson is able to keep his kitchen cooking. 

Until then, the aroma in Seattle smells nice!

Kyler Murray

If good things come in small packages, then the Arizona Cardinals are sitting on one of the best small packages in the NFL.

Kyler Murray led his team to another dramatic victory in week 2, solidifying his status as a top NFL MVP candidate. 

Despite dropping out of MVP the race last season due to injury, Kyler (+750) is now pipped amongst Tom Brady (+750), and just behind Mahomes to snag the title this season. 

He leads the Cardinals into week 3 as 7.5-point favourites against the Jaguars.

https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nfl/odds/

If Arizona takes home another win, expect Kyler Murray’s MVP odds to get even better. 

With upcoming games against the 49ers, Rams and Browns, the Cardinals and Kyler will be tested every week. 

Unlike like last season however, Murray has more speedster receivers, more confidence and JJ Watt. 

That’s it for our top 5, is there anyone that you think we missed on the list? 

Don’t forget, we have games coming to London soon, so watch this space for all the big NFL in London news .

 

Week 2 Preview

by

Week 2 is here as we all move on from the uneven shakes of the opening week.

Wade and Ryan had respectable betting weeks despite some crazy games, and this week they off you some of their big game advice to help you make your betting or fantasy picks in this Week 2 Preview podcast.

The guys offer up their break down on every game, as well as offer some betting tips, game insight and some DFS options.
Make sure you listen to the whole thing to absorb all the nuggets of gold.

Among some of the big games the guys discuss in this episode includes:

Saints (1-0) -3.5 vs Panthers (1-0)  +44.5

New Orleans is still shaking after an epic beat down of the Packers last week, so you wonder if they’re going to be fully honed after an epic upset.
Carolina shook of the ghosts of Week 1’s past to rally past the hapless Jets in a much needed W for the return of C Mc.

Ryan likes the Saints to continue their winning ways here, as he likes Jameis and the boys to get it done on the Panthers.

Wade however thinks that Carolina isn’t done upsetting people, and this home game will propel them to 2-0 with a cheeky upset against the Saints.

Prediction:

Ryan- Saints 27-20
Wade- Panthers 31 Saints 26

Bills (0-1) -3.5 vs Dolphins (1-0)  +42.5

Buffalo got stunned last week like the whole city ate a suicide wing at once. Pittsburgh shut down the blue machine from upstate New York, and made their case for leading the AFC.

Miami got the job done against BB and the Patriots, doing what other teams in the AFC East call ‘God’s work’.

Ryan likes his Bills to regain some ‘justice’ here, with a solid win over the Miami Dolphins, and a chance to get back in the division race.

Wade however likes the Dolphins to continue their September winning ways at home. Hurricane season blows in hard, taking out autumn visitors with abandon. He likes the fish at home to challenge the Bills and their lack of running game.
He thinks the Bills will win, just not cover.

Prediction:

Ryan-Bills 31 Dolphins 24
Wade-Bills 24 Dolphins 23

49ers (1-0) -3 vs Eagles (1-0)  +50

Points a plenty in this game, as both teams are coming off victories at the hands of inferior opponents.

San Fran is once again leaking running backs, in a troubling sign early on in the season. Jimmy G is still holding court, but the Lance of Trey is only a heartbeat away from piercing his long term plans.

Jalen is the man in Philly, and is finally showing that this is his team. With the addition of speedy youngsters, and new D, the Eagles look to fly this year, if they can stay healthy.

Wade is big on the Eagles this week, and Ryan has joined the flock in believing that they can flip the cart on San Fran this week.

Loads of fantasy points in this game, so make your picks carefully!

Prediction:

Ryan-Eagles 27 49ers-25
Wade-Eagles 31 49ers-27

Raiders (1-0) vs Steelers (1-0) -6  +47

The Raiders and Steelers both were able to take their underdog titles to victory in Week 1, in a surprise to many pundits of the NFL.

Las Vegas used their home advantage to shock the Ravens core, giving Carr plenty of chances to spread the love. Key injuries might have gone too far in helping this week however.

Pittsburgh beat the darling Bills last week, and showed the world how tough and ready their D is this season. Can they go 11-0 to start the season again this year?

Ryan is backing the Raiders once again, thinking that the Steeler team that dispatched his Bills so easily will finally face their match. He doesn’t think that the Raiders will win, but just cover.

Wade thinks that the Steelers will roll on, taking advantage of the injury to RB Josh Jacobs, and punishing Carr with their relentless D.

Prediction:

Ryan-Steelers 24 Raiders 21
Wade-Steelers 30 Raiders 23

Make sure you listen to the whole podcast to get all the tips!
Listen, laugh, share, repeat.

Join us Week 2 at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, where we will be showing plenty of games.

We also have our DraftKings League, where you can win tickets to the battle of Florida at Tottenham next week!
