Ep 63-Week 3 Preview

by

So what’s going to happen in week 3 of the NFL?
With so many quarterbacks broken and shaken, will some teams be able to complete a winning season?

Wade & Ryan look at all of the key matches this week, and add their ‘expert’ analysis to predict who will win some of these games.
What games should you be looking at for victory.

Some of the key games the guys look at are:

Broncos (0-2) vs Packers (2-0)
The Broncos limp into Lambeau facing a team that hasn’t really lived up to expectations. Wade believes that Aaron Rodgers is injured, and will face a tough contest here.
The Broncos need to get their D together.

Bengals (0-2) vs Bills (2-0)
Ryan is getting high on his own supply, believing the Bills to be the next messiah. But will they be able to joust Andy Dalton and co.? Yes. Bills are facing the Patriots in Week 4, so this will be a viable test game.

Ravens (2-0) vs Chiefs (2-0)
Here’s a guy…that everyone is looking forward to watching.
The Ravens and Lamar Jackson have people believing, but they haven’t faced anyone like the Chiefs yet. Look for Mahomes to roll on.

Raiders (1-1) vs Vikings (1-1)
The Vikings escaped a close one versus the Packers last week, and the Raiders held the Chiefs…for a bit. How will they do this week? Minnesota is at home…in a dome. That says it all.

Saints (1-1) vs Seahawks (2-0)
New Orleans was as crushed as Drew Trees hand after that huge loss to the Rams in Week 2. But will Teddy Bridgewater be able to toss this victory back to the Saints? Probably, but this will be one heck of a game.

Dolphins (0-2) vs Cowboys (2-0)
The Dolphins may very well be the worst NFL team of all time.
That’s all you need to know.

Join us Sunday at Belushi’s Hammersmith to watch all of the games.
See you Sunday.

AFC West Prediction

by

How was the West won?
Not very bloody easily, and this year will be no exception.
Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull are actually torn on this one, which always makes for good betting.

Let’s start with the returning Kansas City Chiefs, who were humbled in the AFC by the Patriots last season.
Is there any way to expect the same won’t happen again this year?
Doubtful.
The Chiefs are fierce, but losing Kareem Hunt and the debacle around Tyreek Hill might make this team a bit unfocused.
Ryan is confident that they will bounce back with full force, but Wade is more sceptical.
The Chiefs have a fear of being successful in the playoffs, and Wade sees that happening again this year.
Also, Patrick Mahomes threw too many no-look passes last year, so it will be hard to see how he keeps that up this year.

The Broncos are the epitome of a dysfunctional family.
Joh Elway struggles every year getting that perfect balance of offence and defence, so how will they put together a string of wins, if they can’t even figure out their QB situation?
Wade & Ryan have them around a 500 team.
Sure, they might spoil a few parties, but the real spoiler will be the stench that comes from their own inner rot.

The Raiders have had some ‘hard knocks’ as of late.
Jon Gruden is determined to make something of this team before they bounce off to Vegas, but will Antonio Brown be a distraction?
Can Derek Carr forge the focus of this team into winning, or will they be more focused on whining?
At any rate, they will be entertaining to watch…even if it’s them imploding.

And the Chargers. Are they in LA? Are they in San Diego? Do they even have any real fans?
Phillip Rivers isn’t getting any younger, and with 37 kids to feed-he is going to be determined to win something this year.
Wade thinks that they have a real chance here to finally face off against the Patriots.
Melvin Gordon is the real conundrum in the mix, and they need to get all eyes facing forward if they want to win it this year.

Madden 20 Rankings

by

Have you downloaded Madden 20 yet?

For diehard Madden fans the question each year is ‘do I need it?’

Every incarnation of Madden brings a new but not necessary function.
‘Follow a poor kid from the ghetto to be an NFL star’
Or, I just want to play the game.

Sadly, playing online involves a beating from a taunting 10 year old in his parents basement who has never played a real game of football in his life.
Sad, horrible, irony.

Anywhoodles, here are the team rankings for the Madden 20 this season.
