April Drama

Stefon Diggs

The drama of Diggs as a Bill is no more, as Stefon has shuffled off to Houston to the glee of Buffalo fans. It wasn’t long into the signing that the Texans then offered to buy Diggs out, showing that me might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

The Texans will have to eat $22.5 million just to see what Diggs can do this year, which seems a hell of a punt on a guy who couldn’t deliver for the past few seasons as an ageing wide-receiver.

Stop Driving

Rashee Rice was the latest NFL star to get caught doing dumb things in a car, after being busted trashing a Lambo in Dallas recently. When will these young guys learn to stop driving?

It should be mandated by each team to make new players sign an agreement not to drive drunk, silly, or just give them a driver or Uber credits in the offseason so they don’t kill any more people.

Louis Rees-Zammit

It’s looking good for Rees, who just signed a 3 year deal with the Chiefs that will have him play a key role in the new NFL kickoff rules. With rugby playing a key role in the NFL for 2024, there is a greta chance that Louis will be a big part of the Kansas City squad.

Week 14 Picks

by

The boys are saddled with nasty colds, so it must be that time of year again for our Week 14 Picks podcast.

Only two teams on bye this week, as the playoff implications start to look far more interesting. Teams we thought in the AFC that would contend, are faltering, and the NFC is looking like it’s going to be a slugfest against the Niners for any hope of the Lombardi trophy.

If you want to take out your sniffles, and suck the phlegm for your system, have a listen this podcast with a little toddy for your ears.

Week 14 Picks

A nice surprise for the AFC North, as the Steelers took a choke out from the Patriots on TNF to add another layer to that divisional contest.
What other kind of nifty surprises might we find in this weeks games?
Let’s have a little look shall we, as the boys both offer their predictions for a select slate of games.

Jaguars (8-4) vs -3 Browns (7-5)  +30.5

Jacksonville took a bite out of themselves in Week 13 with a performance that really knocked their chances of that number one seed potential. Although they are saying that Lawrence might have only suffered a high ankle sprain, what about the rest of the guys that got hurt. That has to hurt.
Joe Flacco! That’s right, old Joe has saddled up once again to fire some ints for Cleveland as they look to mend the suck that is currently affecting them.
With horrible weather, and a home crowd in their favour, can the much vaunted Browns D make them Jags pay here?
Ryan is going full Flacco, which is still a thing, as he thinks the Browns will out hustle the cats at home.
Wade also agrees that the Browns are the ones to take here, as the Jags will suffer to get anything going against that front line, and cold front of nasty weather.
Ryan-Browns 20 Jaguars 13
Wade-Browns 21 Jaguars 9

-3.5 Lions (9-3) vs Bears (4-8)  +43

It’s another rematch of the AFC North, as this time the Bears host in a contest that happened only a few weeks ago, with different circumstances.
The Lions were able to come back against a tough Chicago squad in the remaining two minutes of the game to get the fortunate win.
Will the Lions be so fortunate this time?
It’s not going to be a winning season in Chicago, but that was expected, as was the Fields conundrum. What he does in the next few weeks will determine where he plays next season.
If JF can light it up win a W against Detroit, he might just be the topic of a starter again in 2024.
Wade of course if taking his Bears for the upset win, with a wet, sloppy home slashing against Detroit.
Ryan agrees, and thinks that the Bears will be able to get vengeance in this week for the upset.
Ryan-Bears 24 Lions 21
Wade-Bears 18 Lions 16

Other games

Here are some of the other games that the guys have personally selected as ones that you might want to look at for some of you fun sunday parlays.

Week 4 Crit

by

We’ve got more NFL action in London, but first, we offer up our Week 4 Crit podcast, where the guys look back on all the Week 4 games.

The link to the podcast is at the bottom of this thread, because we have some exciting local news first.

Bills & Jaguars in London

With the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars also in town, we would be remiss if we didn’t offer you up some fun things to do this week.

The weather looks like we well and truly fucked planetary warm, which is good for football, as fans will bask in new normal temperatures in north London.

Getting to the stadium will be way easier, thanks to the tube lines calling off their strike, and trains should be moving better than last week.

The Rugby World Cup will be dominating the screens this week, so if you’re looking to catch some college football, it might be best catching a stream at home, or using a UK betting app so that you can catch the feed on your device (Bet 365).

If you’re looking to up your Sunday Funday action, why not take a cruise with the fun folks at Tailgreeter, who are hosting a funtastic Sunday morning of fun with their Thames River Cruise.

Boarding and offloading at Festival Pier on the banks of the mighty Thames, guests will be treated to a four hour cruise that would make Gilligan and the gang jealous.

Not only do fans get to sight see across London by river for 4 hours, there will be games, free swag, a bbq buffet, 3 free drinks, and an EXTRA free drink when you use promo code NFLLONDON.

Best of all, the Tailgreeter gang is going to drop you off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in time for gametime between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Tailgreeter Thames River Cruise goes from 9am to 1pm, giving you enough sea legs of sauce to get you to your seats in time for the 2:30pm kickoff.
There are no loos on the bus, so please plan your bladder’s accordingly.

Among some other things that you might want to consider this weekend is comedy! London has loads of fantastic comedy clubs and acts that you might want to check out.

Post covid, many comedy clubs across the UK have been struggling, as have the comics. This has brought on a huge new boom of great comedy however, so make sure that you check out some gigs if you want to take a break from some of the NFL hullabaloo.

Among some of the shows we would recommend:

  • UK funnyman Peter Kay is playing the O2 Saturday & is a great diplomat of British comedy
  • Ricky Gervais is playing Friday at Wembley if you like that kind of comedy
  • US Latino superstar Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias plays the O2 on Friday
  • The hilarious Paul Chowdhry performs his solo show at the Leicester Square Theatre all weekend
  • The Comedy Store packs big hilarity with Ian Stone; Marcel Lucont; & more all weekend
  • Micky Flanagan performs at the Lyric Theatre-with Harry Styles & James Cordon in this week

Week 4 Crit

What a week it was to show the separation in tiers between good teams, great teams, and just terrible teams. (looking at you Bears!)

Ryan and Wade meander through the games and look at what and who were the difference makers.

Ryan actually blushes on the podcast when talking about the Bills beatdown of the Dolphins on Sunday, so make sure that you at least catch that moment.

TNF- Bears (0-4) vs -6 WASH (2-2) +45

The guys also preview the slovenly TNF matchup between the winless Bears, and the WASH team that almost took out the Eagles.

It’s a big spread here, but the guys both like the WASH team to win, but the Bears cover.

Listen to the whole thing, and rub it all over you like you’re about to hop in the smoker.

 

 

Week 4 Picks

by

Welcome to London NFL fans, as we discuss the Falcons Jaguars game in our Week 4 Picks podcast.

Wade and Ryan are excited to see the first NFL game of the European leg, and as the Ryder Cup has show us so far that Europe has its own winning ways.

A train and tube strike is threatening to chunk away a good selection of fans for this game sadly, so hopefully many of these late tickets will get scooped up.
All in all, it looks to be another consistent NFL London game, with low scoring and wide jersey dispersion.
The amazing UK fans more than make up for it all, and it will truly be a fun experience.

If you want to listen to the guys go off on their podcast, all you have to do is click this link here.

Among some of the games the guys look at in this episode includes:

Falcons (2-1) vs -3 Jaguars (1-2)  +43

It’s the first of the 2023 London NFL games as the Atlanta Falcons visit the home town Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley stadium.
Despite the fact that London has no signs that the NFL is in town, apparently this game is still going ahead.
Atlanta has looked limp in their run only offence, with Desmond Ridder either not living up to his potential, or not having as much as everyone thought.
Jacksonville has a had a struggling start to the season, no thanks to their offensive line which has seen Trevor Lawrence harassed more than he’s ever been.
Ryan thinks that this game will be another London stinker, with low points and even lower intensity.
Wade is also calling for a terribly low scoring game, as teams historically take time to adjust to being in the GMT.
Ryan-Jaguars 24 Falcons 17
Wade-Jaguars 18 Falcons 14

Dolphins (3-0) vs -2.5 Bills (2-1)  +53.5

Miami shocked the shakes out of the league last week by pounding the poor Broncos with 70 points, as they continue to load up on points. But they still haven’t face a really tough D up to this point.
Buffalo are favoured by 2.5 points against Miami? Many fans think this is an insult, given the Bills struggling in their first 2 games.
Ryan is big on his Bills, and likes the boys in Western New York to choke out the Dolphins with their fast front D.
Wade agrees with Ryan, and thinks that Miami will get a touch welcome from the Bills, who will finally give Tua that threat to his MMA training.
Ryan-Bills 31 Dolphins 27
Wade-Bills 30 Dolphins 26

Rams (1-2) vs -1 Colts (2-1)  +46.5

Los Angeles Rams took a tough loss to the Bengals in week 3, losing a few more defensive players in the process. Matt Stafford is playing with renewed confidence, thanks to some speedy new receivers who have stepped up.
The Colts are 2-1 with our Jonathan Taylor, and Matt Ryan. The last name isn’t as surprising, but the play of Anthony Richardson is. Back from injury, Richardson could thrive in fantasy points against an LA  team playing with only 4 days rest.
Ryan likes the Rams to take out the Colts here, with Matt Stafford finding some holes in this Indianapolis home team.
Wade likes Richardson to use his legs and find Pittman for a few scores, as he likes the Colts to dominate the poor, tired Rams.
Ryan-Rams 21 Colts 20
Wade-Colts 23 Rams 18
Among some of the other top picks that the guys look at in these Week 4 Picks include:

Ryan

  • Tampa Bay covers against the Saints
  • Bengals beat the Titans who cover
  • Seahawks beat the Giants

Wade

  • Texans upset the Steelers
  • Bears beat the Broncos
  • Patriots cover close against the Cowboys

That’s it for our Week 4 Picks podcast, make sure that you listen to the whole thing and share it with your friends.

To everyone attending the London game at Wembley stadium this Sunday, have fun! It looks like it will be a sunny day despite the slowdown in traffic.

 

Week 2 Picks

by

Another one done and dusted, but it all starts up again, as the boys deliver their Week 2 Picks Podcast.

So many crazy storylines settling down from week 1!
Aaron Rodgers might never play again.
The Ravens are already injured up the wazoo!
And the Bengals lost badly.

What kind of picks do Ryan and Wade have lined up for their Week 1 Picks?
You can find out all about it, by clicking on the podcast right here.

If you want to play along and bet, make sure you join our NFL in London DraftKings group as well, and you can win money every week!

Week 2 Picks

There are loads of intriguing games lined up for Week 2 in the NFL, but we’ve selected a few of the games that we think could have top betting value.
Why choose some loser games that no one wants to be on?
Here are some of the intriguing games that the boys look at for their Week 2 Picks.

-1 Packers (1-0) vs Falcons (1-0)  +40.5

Green Bay led a Week 1 smackdown of the stunned Bears, opening up a second half hole of 28 mistake points that allowed the Packers to easily dominate a Chicago team with horrible defence.
With a few key players missing, will Jordan Love and the Pack be able to lead another dominant performance.
The Falcons got the W, but there are still loads of questions around Ridder being able to spread the ball around. Bijan had a fantastic rookie performance in Week 1, but now he faces a stunt Green Bay D that shut down the Bears all day.
Ryan likes the Packers to continue their winning ways, with a strong performance over the Falcons. He’s not betting the birds again.
Wade likes the Falcons for the upset here, as he thinks that the offence of Atlanta has a few choice more weapons. Has nothing to do with the fact he’s a Bears fan.
Ryan-Packers 23 Falcons 17
Wade-Falcons 24 Packers 20

-1.5 Colts (0-1)  vs Texans (0-1)  +40

What a trash bag fest this game is, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t some points and cash to be made.
The Colts are lacking the running power of Jonathan Taylor, but had a nice surprising performance from Anthony Richardson, who ended up getting injured late in the game.
The Ravens were held in check by the Houston D, until Lamar does what he does and opened the game up. Still, there was a lot of promise in that game, when many thought they would get destroyed.
Ryan likes the Colts here to hold off Houston, and expects a bad game, and a sloppy win.
Wade thinks that it will be sweaty down in Texas, but that humidity will help them and their D throttle the Colts for the upset.
Ryan-Colts 21 Texans 17
Wade-Texans 18 Colts 14

Bears (0-1) vs -2.5 Bucs (1-0)  +42

The Chicago Bears were an absolute joke in Week 1, and it looked like they hadn’t even had a preseason with the lacklustre job put in by the squad.
The D was bad, Fields looked lost, there was no running game, and Chase Claypool can suck a duck.
Baker Mayfield and the pissed off Tampa wide receivers were able to channel their focus to slip apart the Vikings last week, to give them some motivation in the NFC South.
Still loads of questions across the team, but they showed dominant and integrated form to make the Vikings look stupid.
Ryan likes the Bucs and Baker to keep it winning on the strength of their D. Tampa Bay beat the stuffing out of Chicago last year, so what’s to say that they won’t do it again.
Wade is calling for a Bears upset here, believing that all signs point to an upset. Eberflus is back on D calling, and the Bucs just aren’t that good.
Ryan-Bucs 24 Bears 20
Wade-Bears 24 Bucs 20
Those are just some of our Week 2 picks, make sure that you listen to the whole podcast to get the full value of Wade and Ryan’s insight.
Remember the World Rugby Cup is on this weekend too, and all games on Sunday conflict with NFL.
In case you choose to go to a bar, and they don’t show it
Enjoy Week 2 everyone, thanks for listening.
