Week 15 Memery

by

Week 15 of the NFL came in like a crazy virus, spinning the league right round, turning everyone on their head, and making us all dizzy.

Do they not realise that many of us are on the road to the playoffs and/or preparing our NFL fantasy teams for the onslaught of the post season Covidity?

Thankfully, the pictures and words word perfect for week 15, as we offer up some of the Week 15 Memery that has captivated us all.

What were some of the big meme themes to hit this week?

Tom Brady getting shut out for the first time in his career was CLASSIC! If you have ever wanted to trash a Microsoft touch tablet, Tommy will show you how to do it.

Detroit Lions claim their first win of the season! That means once again the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to take top seed in the draft next year.
Like a leaky boat, the Jags keep flushing down picks and coaches.

Here are some of the big memes! Enjoy and see you Sunday!

Weekend Picks Against the Spread

It’s Divisional Weekend in the NFL, so I thought I would share my picks for this weekend.

There are some pretty damn tight games, as well as some pretty high spreads-which means this one will be tricky when getting the point spreads and the overs right.
I also always like to check the weather, as that will affect the over/under in most games-as it’s tough to score in snow!
Luckily it looks like a pretty placid weekend, even in Green Bay.

If you want to take my picks, head over to BetRegal-where they have some great offers for NFL divisional weekend. Take my picks and win big.

We also have a DraftKings contest on this weekend, so see if you can win big in that one as well.

So here are my picks for the weekend.

Saturday

Vikings (11-6) vs -7 49ers (13-3) +45

The Vikings and 49ers seem to be at opposite ends of the playoff spectrum. The Vikings started sluggish, then rebounded near the end of the season, while the Niners crushed everyone to start, before giving up a few suspect losses.
Yes, the Vikings do have momentum and a healthy line-up heading down to the Bay area.
The 49ers have played extremely well at home, and with that extra week off-will be anticipating the deep ball threat of the Vikes.
The big difference here is going to be the 49ers front 7 vs Kirk Cousins.
If you can get to Kirk, the offence is going to fall apart. He’s not a scrambling QB, so if they can get him on his back feet-they will score.
I like the Vikings to keep it closer than the 7 point spread, but these Niners with a week off will be too much to handle.
George Kittle will have a great game as well.
VIKINGS COVER

Titans (10-7) vs -9.5 Ravens (14-2) + 47

How do you solve a problem like Lamar Jackson? You don’t.
He is too fast, too smart, and has incredible QB IQ.
I think even Dr. Strange would need to go through multiple universe possibilities to see how the Titans can beat the Ravens.
Sure, they beat a hobbled Tom Brady and the Patriots last weekend, but the Pats averaged more yards than they did.
With a week off, and plenty of film to review the Ravens will be focused on shutting down Henry & Tannehill.
Henry will be tough, because he can pretty much through everything.
Tannehill on the other hand will be suspect to some huge pass rushes and a fierce secondary looking for loose balls meant for AJ Brown.
The Titans might be able to score on a scripted play early on, but the Ravens will pile on the pressure.
This one could be over by halftime.
RAVENS WIN

Sunday Games

Texans (11-6) vs -9.5 Chiefs (12-4) + 50.5

Looking for points? This game promises loads of them, as Patrick Mahomes heads to home field with a week off.
The Texans were able to overcome a plucky Bills team to steal a victory last week, but can they do it this week?
No way.
The Chiefs have a healthy roster back, and redemption in mind after their loss to the Texans this season.
Kansas has also improved on its D, with many healthy bodies back in the fold.
Can’t see anyway that the Texans will do anything but crumble under pressure in this game.
CHIEFS WIN

Seahawks (12-5) vs -4 Packers (13-3) +46.5

The Packers are 13-3 with a bye, but did they really whoop anyone this year?
Is anyone really scared of the Packers?
Yeas, they have home field advantage and the Seahawks have sucked at Lambeau in the past, but this game will be more than about that.
The Seahawks continue to grow in confidence, even with huge injuries to their running game.
Marshawn might be old and crusty, but he still can power run through some tough lines and is great in the redzone.
The Seahawks easily cruised through the Philly D, and there’s no reason to suspect that they won’t do the same here.
Russell Wilson should gash up yards running from the Packers D, who have trouble with QBs of his pedigree.
I originally thought that the Seahawks might be able to cover, but now I am confident that they can win.
SEAHAWKS WIN

Make sure you join us at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden this weekend. FYI that if you are coming Saturday, you will need a ticket after 10pm as that’s when it becomes ticketed.
Why is that?
It’s central London on a Saturday-it gets nutty.

See you this weekend and good luck on your bets!

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.

Bear Down

by

Sports Illustrated has the Bears finishing LAST in the NFC North this season?
Sure, they might lose a few steps from last season…but last?
Come on!

That means that plucky ole’mustache Rodgers is rated higher, as are the messed-up Vikings, and the lowly Lions.
Really SI…Matty Staff-infection is going to trump the Bears in 19?
Highly doubtful.
