Wade’s Week 12 Picks

by

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?

Week 11 Scores

by

Week 11 in the NFL is done and dusted.
So what did we learn?

Well, Wade & Ryan didn’t do as well with their picks as they thought.
Wade pulled off a 9-4 and Ryan rolled down with a 7-6.
Not bad for a tough week.

So what are some of the things we learned in Week 11?

It’s Almost Over?

Remember that barren feeling of mid-February? Well, that’s coming back. Although there will be some XFL to numb the pain of the season.
This season has flown by already, and as we hit the the run-up to the playoffs, everything is on the table.
Every game counts. Even ones against the Bengals

Oh Myles

Myles Garrett is a bad, bad man. Doesn’t matter what Mason Rudolph did, he’s the QB and you don’t try to smash his puny head in. Garrett will attempt to appeal, but he’s going to need to STFU and start doing LOTS of charity work.
He has a lot to atone for, and he will need to make the best out of being  a bad man.

LJ

Lamar Jackson is ripping through the NFL. After decimating the Patriots, LJ went out and made Deshaun Watson look like a punk. Their team came together in a grand ole affair, running all over Bill O’Brien and his inconsistent team. Watson was chased and hassled all game.
Everyone is going to need a Lamar Jackson plan, because he is coming for you all.

BearDown

The Bears continue to struggle, pissing off loyal fans everywhere. How do we fix the rot?
Why is the person who made the decision to go for Trubisky not being strung up and quartered somewhere?
Their O-line stinks, and they haven’t been able to stop the run since Hicks went down with injury.
Trubisky was benched for health reasons against the Rams, and it’s going to be a hard season to watch them finish out.
Plus every kicker seems to be cursed.
Is there some sort of ‘Wide Right’ spell that is cast on them as soon as they enter Soldier Field?

Screw Arizona

The Cardinals vs 49ers game was extremely frustrating for anyone who had a bet on the game.
When they recovered the ball on the last play of the game to put the game to an even 10 point spread infuriated fans who had money on the game everywhere.
You kidding me Arizona.
Luckily, I chose a bookmaker who had the spread at 11 points, so I was able to save something.
Hate games like that.

Viking Chokers

What a tough game for the Vikings, and even tougher for the Broncos.
They had the Vikes bent over a barrel, squealing like a pig.
And then they loosened the grip, allowing the Vikings to make a Super Bowl like comeback.
Good for the hometown crowd, but exhausting for the Broncos who choked so hard, they should have asked for a ‘safe word’.

Raiders

The Raiders have been playing well and keeping themselves in most games.
Josh Jacobs has been ripping it up, and given how pathetic their division is, it’s hard not to see them making a playoff push.
Jon Gruden has to be happy with himself this season, turning the drama of the draft and the AB situation into an after thought.
Good focused football, and a healthy team with a solid O line.
Could they disrupt the season and make a big impact?

You can win big every week!

Week 11 Picks

by

If you wanna make money in the NFL, then you have to parlay.
Find some nice, juicy games that will pay off-put’em together and make some beautiful betting music.
Of course, it’s hard to find the right tips from a legitimate tipster.
Luckily, I have had a good season of 63% correct in against the spread betting.
I was as high as 71% a few weeks ago, but you know-stuff happens.
Let’s take a look at my record thus far:

Wade’s NFL Weekly Record

Week 1/ 5-11
Week 2/ 8-8
Week 3/ 13-3
Week 4/ 11-4
Week 5/ 11-4
Week 6/ 11-4
Week 7/ 10-4
Week 8/ 11-4
Week 9/ 4-9
Week 10/ 9-4

Record: 93-55

As you can see, Week 1 and Week 9 were a punch in the dick, but you’re going to have those once in a while.

Here are some of my top picks for Week 11.
You might want to add some of these bad boys into a tasty little parlay to increase the amount you can win.
I generally pick games that are upsets, or games where the spread is just way to dang high.

-6 Saints (7-2) vs Bucs (3-6) +50

The Bucs have been playing some ugly football. Jameis Winston had issues holding onto the ball, as well as some Mr. Magoo-like vision in the earlier part of the season, but seems to have settled down a bit as of late.
The Saints were humming, then the Falcons came to town and made them look like chumps.
Was that a one-off, or did the Falcons expose their weakness?
This line is too high for the Bucs at home. They put up a ton of points, and their D line should have no problem swamping up Kamara.
Saints should win, but the Bucs will cover the spread.
Bucs COVER. 

Falcons (2-7) vs -4.5 Panthers (5-4) +49.5

Atlanta is coming off a hot win over New Orleans last week, and are all smiles like a dude coming out clean after an STD test. Matt Ryan has put up some good stats, but the wins have been as elusive as his offensive line.
Christian McCaffrey is holding the Panthers together, but he is only one man with an inept QB.
The Falcons are feeling juicy, they will probably lose-but will keep it closer than you think.
Falcons COVER.

Texans (6-3) vs -4 Ravens (7-2) +51.5

Where were you when the Ravens beat the Patriots 2 weeks ago? What were you wearing? How did it feel?
The Ravens gave everyone some warm fuzzies when they were able to humble Tom Brady and the Patriots on a late Sunday evening.
They whooped the Bengals last week and now they face Deshaun Watson.
Will the Texans D be able to contain Lamar Jackson?
More importantly-will the Ravens be able to shut down Deshaun Watson?
Doubtful. Love the Texans here after a week off of having loads of time to watch Ravens games.
This will be a tight, fun game-but the Texans should prevail.
Texans WIN.

Jaguars (4-5) vs -3 Colts (5-4) +43.5

Big Dick Nick is swinging! Lock up your wives and tight ends.
Will Nick make a big enough difference in this game against Jacoby Brissett?
This is a hard one (pun intended), as Foles is kind of unproven despite looking good for a bit in Week 1.
The Colts still have a great O-line and defense, so it will be tough for Nick to get a rhythm going.
He will need to reply on Leonard Fournette to get some real action here.
This game SHOULD be a low scoring, close game.
The Colts seem to screw-up these division games
Jags COVER

-3.5 Patriots (8-1) vs  Eagles (5-4) +45.5

Is this really a retribution game if the Patriots don’t care & think that it is?
Philly will be looking to capitalise on the Pats loss against the Ravens, but obviously don’t have the tools to do so.
It will be interesting to see how their D chases Tom, as he loves to munch blitzes-so they will need to stagger rush.
The Eagles have Jay Ajayi back, which will make British broadcasters happy-but he has been off a bit, so doubtful he is in any form.
The Eagles will need to get a run going vs this crazy Pats D who has had a week off.
Billy B is deadly with a week off, so it’s hard to see the Eagles doing any damage to the champs here.
Eagles should keep it close though.
Eagles COVER.

Bears (4-5) vs -6.5 Rams (5-4)

Woe is Bears. With some key injuries affecting their D, as well as Kyle Long disappearing from the O-line, the Bears have struggled to get on form from last season.
Not as badly as the Rams, but bad.
I have gone on at length that Jared Goff looks ‘shell-shocked’ from the Super Bowl loss last year, and he doesn’t show any signs of getting better this season.
His O-line is a shambles, and their running game is not what it use to be.
The Bears need to establish the run, and chase the heck out of Goff to get some pick sixes.
Bears COVER.

Sunday Funday

by

Week 11 is here already!
Holy crap this season has smoked by quicker than you can imagine.

So where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
If you have never been to London before and are expecting an NFL experience like back in North America, you are going to need to temper down your expectations.

London is NOT a 24 hours city, sports bars generally close by 11, and the casinos are a great place to pay £8 for a pint and get no sound.
Or worse have your pockets picked.

It’s always nice when you can sort a traditional British pub that has NFL & is open late.

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End is not central London, but it’s close enough to it that you can watch all the games and still be able to shoot back into town.

You can get to the pub either via Finsbury Park station or Hornsey or Harringay train stations.
Alexandra Palace is right up the hill as well.

There are 3 massive TVs, plus the largest projector in North London.
It’s a great place to watch the games as well as enjoy some wings, burgers, and tasty cold beers.

So join us this Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End.
See you Sunday.
