December Pride

by

The wild ride that has been the 2021 NFL season took another loop de loop this week, as Detroit finally won a game this season.

Wade and Ryan look back at all the week 13 games, as well as the important Lions big W in this December Pride podcast.

What hasn’t been a source of pride thus far this season, have been many of our Fantasy teams.
Injuries, lack lustre performances, and of course COVID all played a part in this being an inconsistent year of gameplay.

Only a week (or two) of NFL fantasy left, depending on how your league was set up.
Might as well go out in a flaming ball of glory!

Bears Down

Matt Nagy is a dead man walking, as the Bears lost another game with a consistent. limp performance.
The D is mostly gone, no protection for the QB, and Allen Robinson has pretty much checked out.
At least they don’t have to face anyone tough this week…oh yeah, the Packers.

Matty Iced

Another losing season for Matt Ryan, as that Super Bowl feels a million years away.
The only highlight for the Falcons this season has been Patterson, a guy who has been tossed off more than Deshaun Watson.
TB12 and the Bucs move on to face the Pats in the Super Bowl?

Wash This

The WFT are a dirty team that can’t stay clean. By dirty, we mean that they seem to keep themselves on everyone, keeping games close and keeping themselves in the playoff loop.
Heinicke, Heineken, Heimlich…this kid can ball..of course having a running game helps too.

Russ Can Cook

Russell Wilson was able to cook macaroni on Sunday, sticking an L in the 49ers column.
Wow! Now the Seahawks have 4 wins, just one more than the Jets.
Seattle needs to just blow it all up now, as the magic stuff isn’t smoking anymore.

Pat Down

The Patriots are suddenly one of the scariest teams to face in the NFL.
Mac Jones impressed by throwing for 19 yards last week, in a game that will be known more for its bluster, than the score.
Buffalo messed up a few opportunities, which led to their demise.
Can they enact vengeance when they meet again next?

13 and a Half Memes

by

Does it feel like this NFL season is going along faster than normal, or is it a miserable season of NFL fantasy that puts the drags on?

Up is down, down is up, and the Patriots are suddenly back in contention after losing the best quarterback in the league.
This is a wild and wacky season.

To commemorate the odd week that was, we have added 13 and a Half Memes, a collection of hilarity to break up the NFL between week’s 13 and 14.

And what’s not to laugh about?

The Lions got their first win! The Bears took in on the mouth against the Cardinals. Aaron won’t stop talking about his toe! Mac Jones was able to win a game by throwing for only 19 yards.

As we limp towards the playoffs…there isn’t one team that is dominating it all…yet.

But what is winning?
Memes.
They always close!

Enjoy, and see you Sunday!

13 Tips

by

Well, it’s already Week 13 in the NFL, where the heck did the season go?

Thanksgiving is a milky fart behind us, as the decorations set the tone for the season ahead.
With that being said, we offer you our Week 13 Tips, so that you can use our average advice to make stellar NFL picks.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull are fresh off their Week 12 picks, and ready to rock your world for this Sunday.

Ryans Picks

The Buffalo Bills may have won against the plucky Colts, but the division gets real this week, as the Bills host the Patriots, in what will most likely be a dildo filled afternoon.
Ryan won’t be betting on this game, but he does like his Bills to eek out a win.

Elsewhere, Ryan likes Justin Herbert and the LA Chargers (+3) to pop into Cincy and make a big old mess.
He thinks that not only will LA march into the Bengals tiger pit and cover, but that they will also win on the road as well!

The Las Vegas Raiders (-2.5) have had an abysmal turd of a season thus far, and it has nothing to do with their game play.
Coaching and injuries will be in the rear view for this game, as Ryan likes the Raiders to cause some hometown injuries to Cincinnati in a home win.

The Seattle Seahawks (+3.5) will win at home! That’s Ryan’s big pick of the week, as he has Russell Wilson and the boys dishing out justice in a tight win over the 49ers on Sunday night.
Will Russ cook again, or burn his fingers trying?

Lastly, Ryan is horsing around on the Broncos (+10) to cover on the high flying Chiefs.
While he thinks that Patrick Mahomes and company will easily dispatch Denver, it will be a lot closer than people would figure.

If you want to make money on Ryan’s brain, take the Chargers, Raiders, Seahawks and Broncos!
A £10 bet will net you £141.20

Wade’s Picks

Wade had some top tips to choose in Week 12? Did you take them?
His upsets might have paid off last week, let’s see about this week.

The New York Jets (+7) are back with Zach, as they face the Hurts-less Eagles on Sunday.
Gardner Minshew and his mania will be taking over, offering the Jets a window to cover against a Philly team looking to run.
It’s going to be cold, wet, and a miserable day for Philly.
Jets cover.

The Texans (+10) are another of the worst teams in the league, but Tyrod has a habit of making things closer than they appear.
Indianapolis Colts have a habit of losing to bad teams, and that could happen this week.
Maybe not lose, but give the Texans a bigger window than they need.

What’s up with the Washington FT (-2.5)? Losing Fitzmagic early in the season, the WFT adapted, and relied on their running game to eek out some wins over big teams.
Wade likes the WFT to disrupt the Raiders and home, and squeak out a cheeky little win while they are at it.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (+4.5) season is over. Big Ben has already been heard saying that this is his ‘last season’, and what a way to whimper out.
The Steelers at least had a playoff chance last year, but highly unlikely that they will make the playoffs this year.
With all the injuries on the Ravens squad, Wade likes the Steelers and their running game to keep it close.

If you want to take Wade’s picks of the Jets, Texans, Washington and Steelers, a £10 wager will net you a solid £151.20.
That’s some Christmas present joy right there in 13 tips!

Week 12 Tips

by

The wintry winds of December are starting to roll in, as the NFL begins the final push towards the end of the regular season.

The 2021 NFL season has been anything BUT predictable, as some of the top teams continue to falter, while the middle teams still try to find their footing in the season.

Wade and Ryan are back this week, as they offer up their Week 12 tips.

Wade was able to secure a 10-5 record during week 11, while Ryan pulled down a 8-7 record of picks against the spread.

How will the guys do this week?

Ryans Picks

One of the most anticipated games on Sunday will be the heavy hitting Colts (+3) facing the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Jonathan Taylor and company rolled over the Bills last week, and Ryan thinks that TB12 and the guys will be in for a rough day.
Ryan likes the Colts to beat the Bucs by 3.

It was a Giant (+3.5) week in New York, as the g-men got rid of coach Jason Garrett.
Ryan thinks that this will inspire the locker room to play their butts off to cover the 3 point favoured spread of Philly.

It’s an Urban legend that Ryan is a Jags (+2) fan, but this week he likes them to do a number on his former fix the Atlanta Falcons.
He likes the hometown Jacksonville team to keep it tight in a choke out victory for the Jags.

Lastly Ryan is tapping into Big Ben & the Steelers (+4) to find a way to put up some points against a struggling Bengals team.
He likes Pittsburgh to take the W from Cincy in this one, providing a valuable victory to move the Steelers ahead in this division.

If you take Ryan’s picks of the Colts, Giants, Jaguars, and Steelers on a parlay for £10, you could walk away with £154.70.

Wade’s Picks

On a short sunday of games, Wade tries to find some value picks to balance with some straight up easy victories.

Tennessee Titans (+7) took it on the chin, nose and knob last week in a horrible beat down by the Houston Texans.
The Titans face a fierce Patriots squad who rarely make mistakes, and have yet to be really challenged in their latest push.
Wade likes the Titans to cover in a close loss.

The Denver Broncos (+2.5) might not have a lot, but they often seem to win with nothing.
This should be the case on Sunday, as Wade likes them to play tough at home in a game against division rivals the LA Chargers.

Minnesota (+3) might be a rival of the Bears, but that doesn’t mean Wade doesn’t fancy them to do some damage to the 49ers.
The Vikings are a wrecking crew in the league at this point. Unlikely to make the playoffs, but very likely to cause damage to contenders in their push to the playoffs.

The LA Rams (-1) have been assembling all the tools in their shed to build a winning formula for this season, sadly it hasn’t really worked out that way yet.
The Rams will have a chance to take advantage of an injured Aaron Rodgers, and weakened Packers team.
LA has a chance to start out strong, then put their foot down in this one.

Taking Wade’s picks of the Titans, Broncos, Vikings and Rams on a £10 bet will also win you a whopping £154.70.

Lost Highway

by

What another odd week it was on Sunday as the league continued to balance itself in an enjoyable, yet unpredictable preview of the post season.

Wade and Ryan look back at the big Week 10 news in our Lost Highway podcast, aptly named because it feels kind of directionless in terms of an outright driver in this 2021 season.

Buc’d Again

TB12 and the boys ate another W in week 10, as their curse at the hands of the Washington Football Team held true.
Instead of having some sort of email dirt on Tommy, they must have resorted to witchcraft, as Tampa was stung by the football team.
Tommy should have been real angry after a loss heading into a bye, but they almost look over-focused in this double digit beatdown at the hands on Heinicke.

Lion Ties

Dan Patrick can hit the decaf this week, as Detroit was able to eek out a tie despite being handed the game by Pittsburgh.
It was a brutal game to watch in all directions, and luckily overtime made the time go bye between the two sets of game matches.
Lions still suck, so do the Steelers.

Dead Birds

Thanksgiving is coming, and the Falcons were the first sacrifice as the Cowboys roasted the birds at home in an easy Sunday game.
Dak and the boys blow out the candles on Matty Ice, in a fresh comeback after being slapped by the Broncos a week earlier.
Ryan ate a bag of dirty dicks after going back to his Falcons fix, and it bit him once again.
Once a junkie.

Vikes!

What’s going on Minnesota? No, really.
The Vikings upset a sparkless Chargers squad who seem to have lost the adapter to their outlet of output.
Kirk Cousins continues to look better than he is, as Cook cooked, and the wide receivers were able to pick up the slack.
