The Rise of Jimmy

by

Gotta love a good trailer cut with unlicensed NFL footage.
That’s what this guy did here in a touching and emphatic tribute to Jimmy Garoppolo set to a Star Wars theme.
Not sure how long YouTube will allow this sucker to be up here-but it’s a fun watch.

Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda.
Anyone else getting sick of this little idiot?
Let’s be real for a second-the only reason Baby Yoda exists is to sell Christmas toys.
Anyone who thinks that it is there to ‘save us’ or is an allegory to something grander in your existence is kidding themselves.
It’s all about the Baby Yoda.

So is Jimmy G the Baby Yoda of the NFL this season?
Well-there are probably loads of women across America that might have named one of their ‘toys’ Jimmy G, so who knows.

The real question is will they be a fad this year, or do they have the force to be able to dismantle their opponents.
The stage is set between an epic fight, and if history and culture are prepping us for who the villain is-it seems pretty obvious.
The Patriots.

If the Patriots face the 49ers in the Super Bowl this year, then Disney had something to do with it.
To create an epic franchise of good vs evil, well that’s their game.

The video is fun though, even if the thought of Baby Yoda is annoying.

Week 13 Preview

by

It’s Week 13 ya turkeys!
Are you ready for some NFL picks?

Wade and Ryan are ready to hand down some great picks for you to use to make some NFL money before the holiday season. Are you ready for their expert picks?

They first look at what happened in the Thanksgiving games, and all the football action that went down.
Including:

  • Trubisky looks okay-ish, but Bears fans still want more.
  • The Lions playing ‘nothing to lose’ football.
  • Was this the biggest weekend ever in the NFL for onside kicks?
  • Dallas might be America’s team, but everyone likes the Bills.
  • Will the Bills get the props they deserve, or is there a reason the pundits fade them?
  • Taysom Hill looked great in his utility role for the Saints
  • The Falcons are sucky sucky all over-except their special teams kicker who is great.

Some of the other games they have an eye on this weekend.

-6.5 Packers vs Giants

Aaron Rodgers will be playing angry this week after getting humiliated by the 49ers last week. The Giants are a team of broken toys, so how will they be able to do anything to muster a fight? Look for a beatdown. A big one.

49ers vs -6 Ravens

This is the SuperBowl of Week 13, with two teams destined for the playoffs facing off each other in a great game. The 49ers have beaten everyone (not Seahawks) in their path, yet find themselves 6 point underdogs in this contest. Wade and Ryan both like the Ravens in this one, although Wade doesn’t think that they will cover that spread.

Bucs vs -1 Jaguars

Jameis has been getting loads of points, but also chucking tonnes of INT’s. Will he be able to turn it around for this one? The Jags however are on another path. An ugly, stinky , path. Nick Foles has been a busted nut, and Minshew-Mania is all but forgotten. Look for Tampa to easily cover this one.

Make sure you join our DraftKings contests, as well as some of the enhanced odds we can put together with BetRegal.

Join us this Sunday at the Princess Alex in Crouch End, where we watch all of the games until 1am. See ya Sunday.

 

Wade’s Week 12

by

How did you do in our Week 12 NFL picks across the spread?
Did you take any of my advice to make some money off of your bets?
Great if you did! Too bad if you didn’t, because you could have bought Christmas gifts for the kids.

The NFL bye weeks are officially done, which means it’s full games from here on in. Which means 16 games which to handicap, which gets tougher as teams play for their lives.

I went 11-3 for Week 12 in the NFL, although I am extremely pissed off at the games I lost on. They should have gone the other way, but I will explain this in greater detail.

Here are the games I picked correctly for Week 12

  • Browns +10.5-They were hungry after helmet-gate
  • Giants +6.5-Don’t trust Mitch with a big spread
  • Jets +3-My pick of the week
  • Panthers +9.5-Too big a spread for a Saints team in the mix
  • Bucs +4-Ugly football is still a win
  • Redskins +3.5-Detroit sucks
  • Titans +3-The Jags can jag-off the rest of the season
  • Cowboys +6.5-This had low score written all over it
  • 49ers -3-No way were the Packers going to do anything but cry
  • Ravens +3-Lamar ran all over them so badly he left marks

So those were the winner-winner, chicken dinners.
I tried to use as much maths and predictions as I could here, but still not close to a perfect week.
I haven’t had one of those in 2 years, always looking.

Here are the games that screwed me over.

Broncos vs Bills

The Broncos D was coming off that HUGE loss to the Vikings the week before, and the Bills have been coasting along. They also have an upcoming Thanksgiving game, so you would think that this should have lead to a Broncos victory of cover? No, because their QB is garbage, and they have no one left on the team. The Bills were able to move the ball around effectively and Josh Allen continues to impress. The Bills now have a solid position going into the playoffs.
The Broncos can suck it.

Steelers vs Bengals

Everyone should smoke the Bengals right? Not the hapless Steelers, who needed last half heroics to salvage this game. I thought that they would rely on their D, and move the ball on the ground. Mason Rudolph wasn’t having that, tossing the ball around like an idiot. To many penalties, to much stupidity. Rudolph was eventually benches, which led to a score, but Pittsburgh is now in my crap books the rest of the season. I might actually by a Steelers NFL jersey, just to burn it.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles have been able to put some good games together with a tight D, and I figured that the Eagles at home, with a playoff spot slipping away-that they might do something tough and fun. Nope. Russell Wilson made them look like chumps, and the receiving and running corp blasted the Eagles into oblivion. To make matters worse, the Seahawks D which I thought was struggling, actually looked good against Wentz. Is he a franchise QB? I don’t know about that.

We will have more picks up throughout the week.

Week 13-Sky Sports

by

Another week of NFL, but this is where it starts to get funky.
The Thanksgiving games are always kind of like a blur of happy…like that time between Christmas and New Years, when you can do anything!
Day drink, afternoon drink, lay in your jammies all day.

Unfortunately for us in the UK, we don’t get to celebrate that fattening up event that is Thanksgiving, while our partners are glued to their phones finding Black Friday deals.
We have some NFL hat and jersey deals btw with Fanatics if you’e looking for gifts for your sweetie for the holidays.

Anywho, Sky Sports has released their schedule for this week, which also includes the Thanksgiving games.
Join us Thursday at Belushi’s Camden, where we will be showing all of the NFL games until 1am.

As you might know, if you live in the UK and DON’T have Sky Sports, it can be pretty tricky to watch those games as they will be blocked out. But of course there are ways to get around that.
Redzone is great for 9pm, when there are only 2 games on-as Scott Hanson furiously dives between the two. The blackout doesn’t even matter.

A recent study said that over 60% of NFL fans in the UK get their NFL feed from either Reddit; Facebook, or IPTV. That doesn’t bode well for the the contract is up.

The big game for Sunday is going to be the Ravens vs 49ers. The top D vs the top O.
The Ravens have humbled all but 2 opponents this year, but are now ON FIRE, as they head into the playoff stretch. This is deffo going to be an enjoyable game.

The Raiders vs Chiefs is a great divisional match-up on Sunday evening, with the Raiders starting to build momentum, with the Chiefs struggling to stay afloat.
This should be a high flying affair as well.

Where are you watching the games this Sunday? Join us at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.

Also make sure to join our DraftKings free contests this week, so you can win big.

Wade’s Week 12 Picks

What’s Wade’s top Parlay Tip for Week 3?

Ok folks, I have a triple threat here, which I think will be a winner-winner chicken dinner for your Sunday betting roast. If you like my tips, or they help you out, make sure you follow & subscribe for more tips.

I’m not a betting expert, let’s get this out the gate to begin with. But I do well with NFL. I’m hitting 65% this season which tops most Vegas casino bookies. I’ve averaged 71% in 2018, 67% in 2017 & 70% in 2016. If you don’t believe me we record and post all this crap, so go through the archives.

So let’s bang on with a 3 some of that will treble you a 7.11. Throw £100 on this and you profit £611. Easy peasy. Your money, my goodish advice.

Broncos (3-7) vs -4 Bills (7-3) +38

The Broncos are hurting. Maybe not as much as the Browns, maybe more-but they are hurting. They laid a beatdown on the Vikings only to see it disappear before their foolishness. To have your D swarm, scramble and surround with such ferocity, & then watch the O just do ‘no’, was a sad show.
The Bills are buoyed by Josh Allen’s plucky win over a loser team last week. Make no mistake, this Broncos D is no loser. They are angry. The Bills are at home, then have 4 days to play the rough-riding Cowboys in Dallas.
It’s doubtful the Bills will be fully focused. They have won a few games, but the road ahead is paved with titan teams. Just not the Titans. This might be more a practice game for the Bills, looking at the Thanksgiving roast ahead. Prep your O line for the Broncos, but don’t get hurt enough you’re not ready to beat the Boyz.
Ryan has been unnaturally silence on the Bills success, which has shown his temperance as husband and fan, I respect that, but I also know there is a massive ‘fuck you guys!’ brewing inside & I kind of want to see it.
A Bills fan celebrating is better than a Packers, Cowboys, or Patriots fan any day.
I still see the Broncos winning in this one, the Bills are getting ready for the Cowboy plains showdown.
Broncos Win

-3 Raiders (6-4) vs Jets (3-7)

The Raiders are playing some good Gruden football! There fired up! Yes, the Raiders do posit themselves as the wildest of potential wildcards going into this playoffs, but division winner? That’s a tough ask. So is this game. The Raiders have relied heavily on Josh Jacobs, but their receiving corp is pretty banged up.
The D is banged up, with a secondary looser than a housewife after her third pinot before noon. And just like her they are easy to score on as the night progresses. You end up banging them deep in the back end all night, and yes-I’m talking football. Sort of.  Robbie Anderson could tear up this back end all night long. Oh yeah. But seriously, you might want to add him to your fantasy.

The Jets limited Saquon Barkley to 1 yard last week. 1 yard. So Josh is going to struggle and Carr is going to have to shake and bake against a glowing defence. Sam Darnold is also starting to show the signs of a comatose patient now awake. Maybe it wasn’t mono, maybe it was a genetic implant but the kid is starting to look better. Unlike other QBs of his draft, he displays a real craft for innovation.
I like the Jets here to continue their unrestful behaviour. They are the Raiders of the east coast, and this time the silver and black will be held back.
Jets Win

Seahawks (8-2) vs -1 Eagles (5-5)

Eagles favoured by 1 huh? Huh? Why would that be? The Eagles suck and the Seahawks are totally blaze amaze. Eagles had a 10 point lead on the Patriots last week until a defensive injury set the whole team back. Brady got time, Brady & the D got points. They are playing a fierce level of football now that’s a reflection of the city. Hard, hungry, gritty and an outsider. As a 5-5 team they are gunning for a wildcard spot, they know their division is weak, and like an eagle they are circling. New pieces, new focus, look out. They wild now.

Their counterpart birds the Seahawks are 8-2, but a shaky 8-2. Russell Wilson and the gang seem to be packing horseshoes and hand grenades as they plough though some easy victims on their way to the playoffs. Yeah, they have won some good games, but this one might be different. Tyler Lockett being out is going to limit RW, and Philly shuts down the run like a mutha-trucka. The Seahawks are in a tight spot here, and I don’t like their chances in a cold night in Philadelphia. It’s going to be a rude awakening to the NFC & east coast cold winters. Santa will be here soon Russell, just not tonight.
Eagles Win

So take these 3 bets and you get a 7.11 bet which means this parlay is 7.11 times the value of your bet. Even if you throw £10 down, you will get £71.10, for an overall profit of £61.10.
Take a punt on my parlay, who knows?
