Injuries were the star of the NFL in week 3, with loads of teams getting handbagged and some serious ouchies that have taken some players out of the season. If there was a way to bet on ACL Injuries, you could make some serious cash…all while being a sick mofo.

When you’re looking at who to target for Week 4 it’s always good to look at who the worst teams are, and who they are playing. Chances are that team is going to give up a bucket load of points.
You should also look at pairing a good QB with a WR, as those combinations are going to increase your point value.
Let’s take a look at some of the key players to target in week 4.

QB

Russell Wilson $7800

The best QB in the league is playing one of the worst teams in the league, which smells plenty of points to go around. RW has as many TDs as all the QBs in the NFC East, which gives you an idea of how good he is. $7800 isn’t that bad considering he got 5 TDs last week. Miami will struggle to contain him, and the only downside is they might rest Wilson if they go up by 40 points.

Nick Foles $5700

Big Dick Nick might be facing one of the top D’s in the league, but this is Foles dang it. Yes, the Colts looked great…against the Jets last week, but this is a whole different story. Foles has better pocket awareness that Trubisky, so he will look to hit some medium yardage passes to break up their zone. Good value at $5700.

RB

Joe Mixon $5800

Mixon has had a less than stellar start for the Bengals, no thanks to the porous O line. Luckily he is facing the Jaguars this week who are very weak against the run. Look for Burrow to establish Mixon as the secondary of the Jags might give him some trouble. Mixon should score at least 1 TD.

Myles Gaskin $5000

A Miami player against the Seahawks? Yep. The secondary of the Hawks will be focused on picking off Fitzmagic, which should open some opportunities for Gaskin who already has 152 yards this year. He’s a great value at $5000 as the Dolphins have no choice but to use him.

WR

DK Metcalf $6800

Metcalf has to be kicking himself after letting the ball get smacked out of his hands in the end zone last week.
DK is a huge, fast receiver who will give Miami plenty of problems on Sunday. The Dolphins will most likely smother Tyler Lockett, giving Metcalf plenty of opportunities.

Andy Isabella $4500 

Who? That’s right, Andy had 2 TDs last week to increase his performance heading into week 4. Chances are Hopkins will be getting double coverage, which means this speedster will find himself open at many times.
He’s a good deal at $4500, and perfect if you’re trying to save some space.

TE

Jimmy Graham $3800

Is Jimmy back? It sure seems so, as both Foles and Trubisky were able to find the big man last week against the Falcons. He’s a veteran, so you know that Foles is going to find him on short yardage and redzone situations.

Darren Waller $5200

More on the pricey side, Waller will factor heavily as the Raiders figure out ways to beat the Bills. He’s a big dude with big hands, let’s just hope he can stay healthy.

DEF

LA Rams $3900

The Rams are playing the Giants, which is all you need to really know. Aaron Donald will make a mess out of poor Daniel Jones, and it’s likely that Jones will have another no good, truly bad day.

Jeremy Hill in London

by

Remember when London use to host NFL games? Good times. We brought back those good times with a TBT interview with former Bengals running back Jeremy Hill.

In 2016 the Bengals hosted the Washington team (formerly Redskins) in a fun filled affair at Wembley stadium. The game ended in a 27-27 tie, with Hill scoring the last TD for the Bengals.
It was the second tie of the season, which hadn’t happened previously in 1997.

We were fortunate to interview Hill at the Saracens Rugby ground in North London where we talked to him about numerous NFL things.
We chatted about the rise of Fantasy football and how players deal with it, as well as if he plays Madden, and which RB he uses in games.

Lastly we touched on the big issue…who does he think is the best player in the game.
The answer might surprise you.

We will be uploaded interviews from previous NFL in London games throughout this season, as we wipe a tear away from our eyes and think about the season that would have been here.

Which game did you think was the best of the NFL in London series thus far?

Drew Bundy

by

Should Drew Brees be selling shoes? Because he looks like Al Bundy these days reflecting on his glory of Polk high.

After a solid beating of the Bucs, the Saints have looked a bit lost in their past 2 outings with loses to the Raiders and the Packers. Green Bay was understood as it seems near impossible to stop the laser focused Aaron Rodgers, but the Vegas game showed some sloppy play. Brees only hope in that game was Alvin Kamara, as he looks utterly lost without Michael Thomas.

Brees needs to get his focus if he wants to chalk up some W’s in the weeks ahead. Maybe he should just pretend that the opposing D is a jeweller who sold him and his wife fool’s gold?
Rodgers is motivated, and all they had to do was draft in his replacement.

 

Karen Falcon

by

What happens when you anger a Karen from Atlanta? She burns all her Falcons gear and gives you an ear full that’s what.

The Falcons are off to an atrocious season, and have been victim to more cumbacks than Jenna Jameson in the 90s. Matty Ice has been playing well, despite the fact his team continues to be crippled by injuries.

Not sure why someone would spend thousands on merch only to toss it into the flames a short time later. Don’t hate the players, hate the game.

The Falcons should bounce back in week 4 when they face the…Packers. Really, the Packers? Yeah-they’re going to be 0-4 next week.
Get your jerseys ready Atlanta, red and black might be burning on Monday morning.

MNF-Chiefs vs Ravens

by

As if week 3 couldn’t get any more dramatic, now we have the epic Monday night match-up between Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, visiting Lamar Jackson at the Ravens. One of these teams will be 2-1 tomorrow, the other will be 3-0…who could it be.

UK NFL fans always get shafted on Monday nights, as the games don’t start until 1:20, and finish around 4:30am on a Tuesday morning. Unless you’re an insomniac, shift worker, or happen to be on cocaine, it is very unlikely you will get to watch these games in real time.
Of course we are in the middle of a global pandemic, so who the heck cares?

Lamar Jackson has yet to beat Mahomes, so you can imagine this is probably the top line of his vision board. Last year the Chiefs were able to smother him on D, as well as rely on PM to toss the ball all over the Ravens D. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, they don’t have a lot of those key players back, so Patty might find himself being run down a few times throughout the game.

The Chiefs struggled against the Chargers last week, so it gave Baltimore and insight into how to beat Mahomes. Pressure the hell out of him. The Ravens have a superior D to the Chargers, so they should be able to mess up his mojo throughout the game.
The Chiefs have an advantage in the weapons at Mahomes’ disposal. Tyreek Hill should be able to find some space, and Kelce will be looking to grab first downs in key situations.

This is a tough game to predict, and I have gone back and forth on this one, especially after watching the crazy scores on Sunday. That being said, I still believe in the Chiefs more in this one after their scare in LA last week. This will be a back and forth scoring fiesta, but I think that the Chiefs will be able to rally and win this one. Even if they lose by 1 point, I like them to cover in this game.

Prediction
Chiefs 30 Ravens 27
