Week 14 Review

by

 

The podcast review show is up, as Wade & Ryan look back at a shaky betting week in the NFL. Both guys went 8-6-2 for the week, which is good-but not great.
As we mentioned before, the last 3 weeks can have some unpredictable scores.

Some of the games the guys touch in on the podcast include:

Broncos 38 Texans 24

Way to go Drew Lock and the Broncos for making a season out of it. They exploded on the Texans who had no answer to the relentless onslaught of the Broncos deep ball. The Texans were totally outclassed, outgunned and out played in this game. It really puts their playoff chances in doubt, when it’s shown they can be beat by countless deep ball chances.

49ers 48 Saints 46

Once in a few years, a game comes along that delivers a great NFL product. This was the game. An endless back & forth of scoring by two great offences and defenses. Brees & Jimmy G each punched each other with scores upon scores, until the 49ers rallied late to score. Both teams played like they are both destined to play again with greater stakes at risk.

Redskins 15 Packers 20

The Packers won. But did they really? They put up some quick points, only to just sit on their lead. The Redskins made this a contest, and you wonder what the Packers will do when they face a team that can score back. The Redskins made some great little plays, and their D was able to adjust to Rodgers in the second half. Closer than the 13 point line suggests.

Chiefs 23 Patriots 16

The Patriots lost..again. This was a tight match that saw Tom Brady’s throwing options as pretty much zero. Mahomes looked ok, but not daunting enough to win a big playoff game. The Patriots will need to rebound if they want to win it all, but if anyone can do it, it’s them. The Chiefs might find themselves in the same early exit fate as they did last year. A win, but was it enough?

Naughty Phillip

by

Did you know that Phillip Rivers is a naughty, naughty potty mouth?
It’s true.

When most people think of Phillip Rivers they think about a guy who has never won it all.
A guy who stuck it out in a town that was tired of the NFL, and hence he had to pack it up to another city where they were even less enthusiastic about football.
Also most people make fun of the fact he has 58 kids, all named with the acronym P.R.

What most people don’t know is that Phillip Rivers is a trash-talking, rib tickling, NFL fanny-fart.
When you watch the clip, what really strikes is that Rivers don’t give AF.
It’s like he represses all of his anger throughout the week, just to be able to save up for Sunday.
(you better not curse on the Lord’s day mister!)

What will happen to Rivers next year?
Will he tough it out in the wilds of LA, or will he seek greener pastures for his team and family.
It also brings up the question of how many more years he might have in the NFL.
Would anyone be willing to take a chance on him in 2020 knowing the old dog only has a few tricks left?
Given the crop of injuries and QB failures in the league…anything is possible!

 

Week 15-Princess Alex

by

Holy crap it’s Week 15 already! There are only 3 weeks left in the rest of the season, so make your plans for a great Sunday.

Head to leafy Crouch End, a scant 20 minute direct trip from Oxford Circus. Hit Finsbury Park then the W7 bus to the pub.

It’s one of the few places in London open until 1am, so you can party late & still get home in time.

Get there before 8pm so that you can grab a Sunday roast. Wings, burgers & cold beers.

They show the Sky game & also Redzone for you NFL fantasy fans.

See you Sunday!

Week 14 Results

by

Week 14 is almost done and dusted (does the Eagles vs Giants game really count?)
How many did you get correct?

Week 14 can always be a bit tricky to predict, with teams on the edge playing for their lives, which is what we saw this week.

Here are some of the interesting results from Week 14.

Redskins 15-Packers-20

Yes, the Packers did move forward in their playoff quest, but this was by no means a simple game for them. Despite being 13 point faves in this game, the Packers struggled to stave off the feisty Redskins. Haskins moved the ball around well, exposing problems in the Packers secondary.
Aaron Rodgers had some good passes, but it wasn’t a very convincing win for a team in a tough division. You barely beat the Redskins. How are you going to fare against some of the other top teams?

Dolphins-21 Jets-22

Poor Jets, they are fighting for wins, and when they get them-they are ugly. Fitz was anything but Magic, as the Fins relied not their kicker to get the job done-hitting 7 field goals to keep them in the game. This was an ugly 5.5 point spread for the Jets, so it was good to see that they weren’t able to cover this. Yeah, they won-but it was against the Dolphins and you barely won.

Broncos-39 Texans-24

Houston, we have a problem. The Texans aren’t playing very consistent football, and Drew Lock and co. really stunned the Texans in their pursuit of an AFC division. The Broncos struck quickly, moving the ball with ease, and gashing the Texans D with long balls and big runs. Where is JJ Watt when you need him? The scoreline isn’t as close as it could’ve been, as the Broncos could have whooped more points on them.

49ers-48 Saints-46

Holy macaroni what a game. This was as back and forth as a teeter-totter, as both teams were firing on each others D’s. It doesn’t bode well for having a tight D, when both your teams combine for a total of 94 points in offence. Jimmy G looked good, and Kittle is a beats when his big legs get moving. The Saints fall a little further back, making it a tough contest for anyone who faces them going forward.

Chiefs-23 Patriots-16

The Patriots lose? What is happening? Did they not pay off the refs? Well…about that. The refs actually had some blown calls on the Patriots that went through. What? They got screwed too? TB12 was in angry mode, as his team struggled against a Chiefs team that was all over him. 40 total points is surprising, but not as surprising as the Pats losing at home in December. They are now out of first place, and will have to fight for a wildcard spot if they continue this record. Could the Bills beat them in a few weeks?

Chargers-45 Jaguars-10

Where has this Phillip Rivers been? How can they finally start chucking up this amount of points this late in the season? The Jags played like garbage, and Minshew is going to need some moustache oil if he wants to get his team lubed up again. Too little too late for the Chargers, as they limp out of this season into a dark future of a team without a fanbase. The Jags have watched their vaunted D disappear, just as their offence has done. They need a lot of work!

Heading into Week 15 and things are starting to get desperate.
Who actually has a good shot at winning it all?

Week 14 Picks

by

Week 14 is here already, and brings with it some tough games to bet on.
I hate week 14 because the teams struggling in the middle will often outpace their previous opponents and leave a might beatdown on some otherwise close games.

There are quite a few lines this week that are at +10 points and above. As you may know I am always adverse to these huge spreads, but then Week 14 brings with it desperation for divisional superiority. There are a few games today where the spread just might get covered because they really NEED it.

Take a looksee at some of my picks, and click away to join with our BetRegal promotion.

-6 Ravens (10-2)  vs Bills (9-3)

Ugh, this is a tough one. The Bills are at home for a totally craptastical weather forecast. It’s hard to score loads of points when it sucks like that, so maybe focus on the under. The Bills have a tight squad like the 49ers. The can shut you down on D, and Josh Allen moves the ball to some favourite targets. The Bills should stay in this one, but the Ravens should win in a tight one.

49ers (10-2) vs -2.5 Saints (10-2)

Some people were surprised at this line, with the Saints being the fave. They are at home, and have started to lead a dismantling defence and an offence that is starting to find its funk again.
Brees is rightly favoured at home, and should load up loads of points to Michael Thomas. The 49ers will keep it close if they can punish with the run. Saints win.

Bengals (1-11) vs -7.5 Browns (5-7)

The Browns are in a weird freefall. It’s like the Myles incident and their poor play have compounded on the team in a malaise. They don’t seem to be a solid locker room team. Things will get worse this week when they face an Andy Dalton led team that is looking for vindication. This is a big divisional game, and one the Bengals can even win. If Joe Mixon can get into a rhythm, they can really pound the poor dog pound into a whimper. Bengals win.

Dolphins (3-9) vs -5.5 Jets (4-8)

5.5 points for the Jets? Not sure about this. They have been very inconsistent, and Darnold can either shine or shudder under opposing defenders. Leveon Bell is out for this one as well, which will limit the ground options and put more pressure on Sam Mono-arnold. FitzMagic is feeling it, and they have a coach who is ready to mess around to get points. They can be cagey, even if the crappy weather in NY will be a limitation. Miami covers.

Chiefs (8-4) vs Patriots (10-2)

Tom Brady is old and dead. That’s what recent performances have made critics claim as they bemoan the death of a GOAT. But this is TB12 in Foxboro, in December. Historically it doesn’ t go well for opponents, and this match will echo the heralds of history. Mahomes will be chased all night until his knee pops or he tosses INTs. They will need to use Kelce and a solid running game to mess them up, but Tom is too good at home. Patriots win it.
