Week 11 Scores

by

Week 11 in the NFL is done and dusted.
So what did we learn?

Well, Wade & Ryan didn’t do as well with their picks as they thought.
Wade pulled off a 9-4 and Ryan rolled down with a 7-6.
Not bad for a tough week.

So what are some of the things we learned in Week 11?

It’s Almost Over?

Remember that barren feeling of mid-February? Well, that’s coming back. Although there will be some XFL to numb the pain of the season.
This season has flown by already, and as we hit the the run-up to the playoffs, everything is on the table.
Every game counts. Even ones against the Bengals

Oh Myles

Myles Garrett is a bad, bad man. Doesn’t matter what Mason Rudolph did, he’s the QB and you don’t try to smash his puny head in. Garrett will attempt to appeal, but he’s going to need to STFU and start doing LOTS of charity work.
He has a lot to atone for, and he will need to make the best out of being  a bad man.

LJ

Lamar Jackson is ripping through the NFL. After decimating the Patriots, LJ went out and made Deshaun Watson look like a punk. Their team came together in a grand ole affair, running all over Bill O’Brien and his inconsistent team. Watson was chased and hassled all game.
Everyone is going to need a Lamar Jackson plan, because he is coming for you all.

BearDown

The Bears continue to struggle, pissing off loyal fans everywhere. How do we fix the rot?
Why is the person who made the decision to go for Trubisky not being strung up and quartered somewhere?
Their O-line stinks, and they haven’t been able to stop the run since Hicks went down with injury.
Trubisky was benched for health reasons against the Rams, and it’s going to be a hard season to watch them finish out.
Plus every kicker seems to be cursed.
Is there some sort of ‘Wide Right’ spell that is cast on them as soon as they enter Soldier Field?

Screw Arizona

The Cardinals vs 49ers game was extremely frustrating for anyone who had a bet on the game.
When they recovered the ball on the last play of the game to put the game to an even 10 point spread infuriated fans who had money on the game everywhere.
You kidding me Arizona.
Luckily, I chose a bookmaker who had the spread at 11 points, so I was able to save something.
Hate games like that.

Viking Chokers

What a tough game for the Vikings, and even tougher for the Broncos.
They had the Vikes bent over a barrel, squealing like a pig.
And then they loosened the grip, allowing the Vikings to make a Super Bowl like comeback.
Good for the hometown crowd, but exhausting for the Broncos who choked so hard, they should have asked for a ‘safe word’.

Raiders

The Raiders have been playing well and keeping themselves in most games.
Josh Jacobs has been ripping it up, and given how pathetic their division is, it’s hard not to see them making a playoff push.
Jon Gruden has to be happy with himself this season, turning the drama of the draft and the AB situation into an after thought.
Good focused football, and a healthy team with a solid O line.
Could they disrupt the season and make a big impact?

Make sure you join our DraftKings League.
You can win big every week!

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.

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.

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.

TNF-Chargers v Raiders

by

-1 LA Chargers (4-5) vs LA Raiders (4-4) +48.5

It’s another ruckus night of TNF, as the battle of LA hits the late night NFL session.
Who wins in this battle of the middle of the road teams?

The Chargers are coming off a surprising beatdown of the Green Bay Packers, which had everyone in the NFC North fist-pumping the sky over the humbling of Aaron Rodgers.
They executed a punishing run offence that the Packers struggled to contain.
Melvin Gordon FINALLY had a good game, and Philip Rivers and his anemic O-Line didn’t look as horrible as they normally do.

The Raiders laid a nice little beating on the Lions last week, and were able to sustain a great running game to stifle the feisty cats.
Matt Stafford was impressive in this defeat, and continues to impress even if his team depresses.

The Chargers joy will be short-lived, as the Raiders are actually quite good against the run.
Rivers will once again struggle to connect, but should be able to find a few deep ball burns on the Raiders.
Josh Jacobs will be the key here, gashing the Chargers at will, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was able to hit 200 yards.

I have the Raiders to stymie the Chargers and get a home win…well technically it’s home to both teams, but doubtful that any Chargers fans will show up.

RAIDERS WIN

Week 9-Best Plays

by

What a week in the NFL for Week 9!

It was the final game for the 2019 London series, with Gardner Minshew stinking up the join worse than rotten camembert in the fridge.

So what were some of the best plays in the NFL for Week 9?
Well thanks to the lovely editors at NFL Films, we can share with you all of the big plays from Week 9 so that you can see why you might have gotten smoked in fantasy.

Some of the highlights/ lowlights include:

  • Bears vs Eagles
    Mitch Trubisky is a joke. A very unfunny joke that is turning more into a nightmare. He is a college player playing in the NFL, and it shows. What will they do with him? Will the Bears be able to save him before the fans kill him?
  • Redskins vs Bills
    The Bills are now 6-2, so throw a dildo on the bar-b and let’s celebrate. They haven’t beaten too many huge teams, but are pushing for a playoff spot. They laid a beating on the Redskins who are sinking lower than the status of many native Americans. What will they do to stop the atrocity?
  • Jets vs Dolphins
    The Dolphins won! What is going on in the world? Adam Gase is lucky to have a job…for now. How long before he gets tossed into the dumpster that he created?
  • Lions vs Raiders
    The Raiders won another game, and their defense is starting to keep them in the games. Sure, most of the credit goes to Josh Jacobs and the running game, but they are looking good for next year in Vegas, plus with all those draft picks they have saved up.

Week 9 Picks

by

Our man Wade McElwain continues his thunderous week of picks hitting a sweet 10-4 last week and punching his record for the past 6 weeks to 67-23!!!
Are you kidding me 67-23 in 6 weeks of NFL picks?
74% success rate!!
Why are you not following his advice to win big?

Wade breaks down his week 9 picks, with some keen attention to parlays that might be valuable.

Let’s take a look at the big game between the Texans & Jags.

-1.5 Texans (5-3) vs Jaguars (4-4) +47

The banged up Texans are favoured on a Jacksonville home field. While London home field might sound outrageous, the Jags have been coming here for years, and can settle in quickly.
Losing JJ Watt is going to hurt the Texans, who will struggle to contain Leonard Fournette, who looks to have a stellar game.
Deshaun Watson will find targets, but he will back-foot loads of passes due to the pass rush.
I like the Jags here to irk out a home win in the rain.
Jacksonville WIN.

Bears (3-4) vs -5 Eagles (4-4) +42.5

The Bears are hurting. The offensive line sucks, & Trubisky is (rightly) taking the blame for playing like a college QB. He should never have been signed, but here we are. Chase isn’t an option, so find a way to make this check look down the field, check his receivers, and improvise. Run dang it. If we break you, fine. Run the ball kid.
Eagles are running high and will taunt after knocking the Bears out of the playoffs last year.
Bears COVER

Redskins (1-7) vs -10 Bills (5-2) +37

The Bills are 10 point favourites? You kidding me? When have the Bills ever lived up to that hype? Sure, they should easily beat the Redskins, but not by 10.
Washington is starting to get some juice, and a trip up to stank-NY might be what they need to get McLaurin the ball a butt-load of times.
Washington can keep pace as long as Case can keep spreading the ball. The Bills D will force the ball, so they need to stay focused.
Redskins COVER

-1 (5-2) Colts vs Steelers (3-4) +43.5

The Colts struggled a win last week and their 5-2 record might be a bit deceiving. They had an early bye, but haven’t seemed to find that winning formula yet. Will they be able to put together a power team of scoring & solid D?
Not in this game.
Pittsburgh has been crap. It’s like a family going through a divorce, dad lost his job, and mom discovered meth.
But they’re at home, on the field that Heinz built. Beans baby.
Pittsburgh needs to hold onto the ball and move it around the field. Their D has been fast, just negate the run & TE.
Steelers COVER

We have a new functionality coming out with BetRegal, so we hope to be able to offer you bespoke betting options soon.

Gut Rot

by

Ryan Cull relates his DraftKings fantasy experience as a regular player.


WEEK 8 – Go With Your Gut 2 – Gut Rot!

Do you ever have one of those days when you think to yourself “This is a bad day to be a sports fan?” It all started when Wales, once again, couldn’t get over the hump and lost to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals. After the final whistle blew, a chill came through my body, as if all my fantasy hopes and dreams for this week immediately left my body.

I did my usual prep work, checking websites and watching YouTube videos of DFS advice, felt good about some of the bargains I got and was ready to put the rugby behind me. Then came the most depressing six hours of my life. If I could describe it by the hour it would go like this

JACKSONVILLE, FL – JANUARY 07: Fans hold up a sign before the start of the AFC Wild Card Playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field on January 7, 2018 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Hour 1 – Jump out to a few early touchdowns, feeling good. And I still have Rodgers to go. And with the Patriots D is like playing with a second quarterback, it’s money in the bank!

Hour 2 – Slowly watching me fall out of contention. A few of the Double Ups are in play, already a million points behind the first algorithm because it somehow knew every player that would score a TD. I wonder if the winner is actually from the future. One week in the future (Stop playing fantasy and go kill baby Hitler!).

Hour 3 – Starting to realise that having to depend on 2 Running Backs over 30, Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy, is not a winning strategy. Each one of them hasn’t even hit their age in points.

Hour 4 – I call this second bottle of wine time! None of my hot picks that I read online about have panned out. All the smart decisions are turning out to be dumb. This is where the five stages of grief kick in. However you experience them much faster.

Hour 5 – You’ve now accepted defeat. Not only have all my fantasy games gone to hell, I’m reading on twitter about how shit the Buffalo Bills are again. This train is never late and it almost always arrives around week 8.

Hour 6 – Fantasy football is stupid. At least I have a baby scan tomorrow so finally some good news! Or will it be, after this run of bad luck I’m starting to worry the Dr. is going to tell me my child is a Patriots fan. Imagine that! Time for my last tube. It was an absolute ass kicking but that’s what fantasy is right, a few moments of joy followed by weeks and weeks of terrible decisions and never ending regret.

You’re gonna have these weeks a few times a year. The good news is, that it’s usually followed by a great, hard earned victory. It’s Gut Check time!

NFL Bad Lips

by

Bad Lip Reading is one of those internet institutions that makes you laugh.
Whether it’s taking the piss out of the royal family, celebrated events, and of course the NFL.
These guys have a lot of fun making these goofy videos.

So this one is a bit of a throwback to the start of the season, but when your team starts tanking, it’s good to have a laugh at their expense.

Have a rollick with this video.
Sure that there will be a new one of these out soon.
