DraftKings Picks

by

Conference championships, only 4 teams, so who do you pick?
Obviously there is a lot of value to be had on the top picks, but DFS is also about finding value in the other WRs, RBs and Flexs in the bunch.

Wade McElwain makes his Conference Championship picks on DraftKings, to make your life easier.
Here are some of the top picks he likes his week.

QB

Patrick Mahomes-$7700

Dude came back from a 27 point deficit to chuck down 51 points. He could have score close to 70 if he didn’t take his foot off the gas. It’s hard to see anyway that Mahomes ISN’T the best QB stats wise this weekend.
Even if they lose (big leap) Mahomes will still put up 40 points and 300 yards.
He is at home with a wealth of talent to throw to.
He is the best QB this weekend bar none.

RB

Tevin Coleman $5700

The 49ers have several RBs at their disposal, and will have plenty of opportunities to use them in the Redzone, and to gash the Packers throughout the night. It’s a wealth of guys to choose from, but Coleman is one of those guys who can really blast it through for the score. He should get at least 1 TD Sunday.

Aaron Jones $6700

AJ is the Packers running game. While he was kept to just 38 yards the last time these 2 played, he should be able to get more Sunday, since he is their only solution. Jones should have a 120yd night, with at least 1 TD.

WR

Sammy Watkins $4600

There are so many weapons at Mahomes disposal, how do you pick just one? Watkins is one of those guys who seems to score in pressure situations. This veteran is a solid choice when it comes to the Redzone, as well as finding separation from defenders in the game. Watkins is a good value for someone who might get you an extra 8 points.

AJ Brown $5200

Brown has been a beast for the Titans this year, so it was a bit surprising to see him only go for $5200. He should have a good game, despite the fact that the Chiefs should smother him in coverage. They will need to go deep if they fall behind, and he is the one that they will target the most.

TE

Travis Kelce $7100

Kelce is THE TE to fear this Sunday. The Titans don’t cover TE’s that well, so he should be able to gash the Titans for loads of yards and a few TDs. Sure, $7100 is pretty high, but when you know how many score he should get (3?) then you know that he will pay off in points.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, and play in the numerous contests we have on for Sunday.

Good luck, and see you at Long Acre tonight!

Week 10 Review

by

Week 10 is done and dusted, and we have learned a lot from the games & upsets that shook our hearts in the NFL.
The Saints took a mushroom stamp to the cheek, the Bills tossed salad on their winning ways, and the Bears struggled to find ways to move the ball.
Which teams look solid going forward?

Wade & Ryan break down all of the games, as well as live stream this podcast on Facebook.

They go over some of the big games and surmise what went wrong, what went right, and how it will determine their forward fate.
Some of the games they discuss include:

Chiefs vs Titans

Ouch. Ryan Tannehill made you look stupid, and that hardly ever happens. Mahomes reverted to his Kermit self and was a total Muppet in this game, as the Titans D clamped down. Henry looked phenomenal for a guy you would normally keep on your fantasy bench.
What will the Chiefs do going forward?

Bills vs Browns

The Browns needed a win, and got it-but did it in a ramrod fashion. How many times do you need to be inside the 10…and still not score? The Bills looked like they were calling it in, already planning their Sunday night wing plans.
The Browns won, but are still hopeless.
Coaching does matter huh?

Falcons vs Saints

Matty Ice is on fire! Too bad the Saints looked like they were soaked in accelerants. The Saints had room to lose, but not by this bad and this much. They actually made the Falcons look good, which is a bad thing to do.
Brees and Payton need to get this offence humming again and score at will.
If they don’t learn from this game, it’s trouble.

Ravens vs Bengals

Watching the Bengals, is like watching a documentary on killing tigers, then harvesting their organs as entrees at Chinese weddings. It is sad, and you wonder what actual real good comes out of it.
The Ravens and LJ were riding high after smacking the school bully the previous week.
That bully will be back though, and daddy has some plans.

Lions vs Bears

The Lions were down the incredible Matt Stafford, and still managed to make a game out of it. Depleted and broken, they were close to stabbing the Bears in the eye. Mitch Trubisky looked like his usual self in the first half, then came alive in the second half to shred some points.
He still is Mitch though, and committing to him going forward is an issue.

Week 9 Preview

by

Week 9, which means the final London game between the Houston Texans & Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wade McElwain & Callum Squires break down all the NFL games for week 9.
They have a lot of games that they think the same, and a few surprising ones where Callum is left shaking his head.
Wade is averaging 9 wins per week, so probably good to listen to him.

Some of the games they look at this week include.

Redskins (1-7) vs Bills -9.5 (5-2) +36.5

Both Wade & Calum think this line is way too high. The Bills are coming off a blowout against the Eagles, and the Skins are playing plucky football. Sure, the Bills will probably win, but 9.5 points is too much given how tired they might be after the drubbing last week.
Take the Redskins to cover.

Bears (3-4) vs Eagles -5 (4-4) +44

Don’t get Wade started on the Bears. As a fan he is vehement in his disdain of Trubisky, and the Nagy system. The Bears are continuing to slide, and the D won’t have it. The Eagles blew out the Bills & have some momentum, but can they keep it up this week? The Bears play better away, as the boos aren’t so hurtful. 5 points is pretty high in this one.
Bears to cover.

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

Minshew mania is in London to kick off Movember, but can the Jags use home field advantage to keep the feisty Deshaun Watson at bay?
Callum likes the Texans to spread it around and trouble the Jags, handing them another loss.
Wade likes the Jags to use home field, a power running game, and a tired Texans team that is seeing injuries mount.
