by

What a week that was in the NFL!

The Saints survive a sweaty one in Hot-lanta, The Fins toss around the Pats, Baker gets baked at home, and the Bears toss around the 49ers for fun.

If you thought Week 1 in the NFL was a tasty treat, wait til you see what the boys have cooked up for you in their Week 2 Picks!

Get all the info in lustrous form, by listening to our Week 2 Picks Podcast!

Among some of the games that the boys look at this week for your betting pleasure, includes:

Dolphins (1-0) vs Ravens (1-0) -3.5 +43.5

Miami and Tua made short work (get it?) of the Patriots last week, while Baltimore took out the Flacco trash quite easily in a beat down of the Jets.
Are the Ravens ready to roll over the fish on Sunday?
Lacking the sweaty balls heat of south Florida, the forecast for Sunday is a wet one, which could lead to more runs than passing.
Ryan likes Lamar and the boys to put Tua and co. on the shelf, as they chase win number two in week 2.
Wade thinks that the Dolphins will prove too much for Baltimore’s D, and that they will struggle to contain the slew of receivers ready to rock.
Ryan-Ravens 27 Dolphins 23
Wade-Dolphins 24 Ravens 21

Washington (1-0) vs Lions (0-1) -1.5 +45.5

Despite being fuelled by 300 litres of caffeine on Sunday, the Lions were unable to make it rain against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.
This week the get Carson Wentz and the Commies, as the Lions head home to the dome.
Can Detroit motor boat this lack lustre Washington squad?
Ryan thinks that is a sweet payback game for Dan Campbell, to trash Dan Snyders’ team. With such a loaded squad, how can the Lions lose?
Wade agrees that Washington got lucky with some of the Jag-off mistakes last Sunday, and that Detroit has the superior squad to get the W on Sunday.
He also predicts a bucketload of points to make your fantasy heave.
Ryan-Lions 27 Washington 21
Wade-Lions 33 Washington 30

Panthers (0-1) vs Giants (1-0) -2 +43.5

What the heck-a-money? The Giants are favoured in a game? Stop the presses.
Baker and the Panthers had a tough spot last week, facing his former team in his first game, that saw his old boys pretty much call every play he ran.
Things should be a bit easier this week, not having to face that Browns D again.
Wade is all over the Panthers this week, as the numbers in Week 1 don’t really bely the truth.
Look for Baker and Robbie A to light it up, with Christian grabbing at least 1 TD with this massive legs.
The Giants will not be able to compete.
Ryan agrees-and he thinks that New York being favoured with 1 win, is a sign of troubling times.
Some good fantasy value in this game as well.
Ryan-Panthers 20 Giants 17
Wade-Panthers 24 Giants 20

Falcons (0-1) vs LA Rams (0-1) -10.5 +43.5

The defending SuperBowl champs are crying in their rings, after taking a beating from the Buffalo Bills in week 1.
Limp, inept, and ineffective, and those are just the side effects of some of the American medication advertised!
Atlanta kept it close in a Mariota Moment game, which saw the eventually fall to Jameis and the sloppy D. This isn’t a sluggish Saints D that the Falcons are facing this week however, it’s a very angry, Super Bowl defending team.
Ryan likes the Rams to whoop the Falcons around on Sunday, with Allen Robinson finally paying off some fantasy points for some of his fans.
He doesn’t think that the Rams will be that dominant, and likes Mariota and Patterson to bring the points.
Wade too likes the Rams to win, and thinks that this 10 point spread is easy-peasy for a vengeful team.
LA lacked that killer spirit in week 1, and they will be uber focused this week against a sad sack bird team.
Yes, the Rams will win-and they won’t struggle
Ryan-Rams 30 Falcons 24
Wade-Rams 28 Falcons 10
That’s it for our Week 2 picks, let us know how you did.
Another great podcast up in a few days, enjoy week 2!

Half Bakered

by

We’re into the first week of July, which means the preseason is only weeks away as we get set to kick of the 2022 NFL season.

With all the hoopla and huzzah, Wade and Ryan take some time in this podcast to look at some of the lingering NFL news prior to the start of the season, with this Half Bakered Podcast.

Here’s the link to get your weekend sorted.

Among some of the things the guys talk about in this episode includes:

Baker Boy

Baker Mayfield is officially a Carolina Panther. Or is he?
Further to a medical test, BM could be shooting his load down the coast this season to help the woeful Panthers move on from Darnold Time.

With all the drama coming out of Cleveland, it’s nice to see some sort of finality come to the situation for Mayfield, who has been trending dirty water in the wake of the Deshaun Watson trade.

Whether Watson plays this season is up to the football Gods (or Goodell)-but the way it’s looking, he’ll be riding the pine, while Baker has a chance to start and finish the season.

It could be the Jacoby Brissett show now in Cleveland, as Baker can finally go off to his own pizza oven and get baked.

Jimmy G

Now that Baker has finally found his new forever home, the lens of focus hits over to Jimmy Garoppolo and his perfect jaw.

With Baker shuffling off to Carolina, the only real places to fall for Jimmy G are the Seahawks, and the Seahawks.

Given the divisional double tap, it’s highly unlikely that San Fran would want to allow him to come back and torch them twice.

Jimmy might be best to wait until week 4, when many of the teams will have already lost their starting QB to injury  or jail.

That’s Jimmy’s perfect sweet spot-sliding into the DMs.

Nice Tat Bro

A few weeks have gone by without anyone mentioning Aaron Rodgers, so he did something about that…he got a tattoo!

True to Rodgers form, the tat is cryptic, mysterious, and way to expensive for regular chums like us to afford.

Aaron went all witchy with this one, incorporating lions, the all seeing eye, and only black and white bro.

If only the tattoo could run a 4 second 40, then it might have a chance to really impress the fans this season.

Bear Up and Down

The rumours are swirling that the Chicago Bears are teasing the city that they are indeed ready to pack up and move for 2026.

With a big ass facility in Arlington Heights, the Bears could benefit from creating a whole new world around the team, adding shopping, hotels, bars and a home for Aaron Rodgers to own the team.

The city of Chicago came back this week with a plan-put a dome on it!

Mayor Lori is proposing taking the NFL’s smallest stadium (61,500) and raise the roof, adding a dome and another 15000 seats.

Sure it would take away from being an outdoor stadium in one of the coldest NFL cities, and erase the gorgeous views of Lake Michigan…but Soldier Field!

The Bears have the city over a barrel right now…finally someone they can dominate!

Lion Bite

Who has the most expensive NFL offence heading into this season?
Nope-not them.
It’s the Detroit Lions. Wait, what?

Yep, the Detroit Lions have the highest pad roster this season, with a whopping $123m in salaries spread across the Goff.

Ranked by CBS sports as the ‘5th worst team in the NFL’, the Lions are ready to change their fate in 2023, by not becoming the worst team in the league (again).

No matter how much money they spend, they will never be the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And that’s a good thing.

London Games

We will be announcing some parties and social fun stuff planned for the next season in the next month.

If you’re a bar or pub in the UK looking to hist NFL parties and viewing events this season, make sure that you get in touch.

 

June News

by

Well it’s June NFL fans, which means all we need to do is get this pesky summer over with, and we’re back in the NFL sweet spot.

Let’s look at all of the action ahead in our June News!

Are you excited for the upcoming NFL season, or are you dreading another miserable season for your squad?

London Games

Are you ready for the NFL London games for 2022?
If you haven’t been locked in a cave, then you know that we have some pretty sweet games on tap for this autumn, as we get the Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints on October 2nd, New York Giants vs Green Bay Packers on Oct 9th, and finally the Denver Broncos roll into Wembley to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 30th for a spooky Hallo’s eve contest.

Tickets for the Tottenham games go on sale on Monday June 20th for season ticket holders, and premium packages for the games will go on sale on June 22nd.

Prices for the games will range from £64 for category seven nose-bleeders to season tickets for both games in the sweet seats for £292.
Make sure that you get your tickets early and you DON’T bother with ticket scalpers.

Wembley game tickets will go on sale soon-watch this space.

Elementary Watson

The Browns went all in on Deshaun Watson, pulling back the towel and letting all the bits hang-but will he be hanging with the team this year?

Another allegation is rubbing and tugging on Watson, as the Browns get that icky feeling that they might need the snubbed services of Baker Mayfield for 2022 if Watson gets iced for a bunch of games.

While nothing has been proven in court, the court of public opinion os slowly turning the tide on the Browns as this saga goes on.

Let’s hope it all gets settled and the Browns can go back doing what they do best, frustrating their fans.

Spanos in the Works

Speaking of owners, Chargers owner Dean Spanos is being sued by his sister over claims of misogyny in the organisation.

Dea Spanos (really mom & dad?)-said that her brothers acted out of a sense of entitlement, and subverted women’s rights in their wrestling of control of the team.

Dean Spanos was quick to retort ‘Shut the fuck up Karen’and get back to the kitchen’.

Family huh?

Walmart Broncos

Attention Denver shoppers, there is a blue light special in aisle 7, as Rob Walton snaps up the Denver Broncos for a whopping 4.65 billion dollars.

It’s the highest price ever for an NFL team, and one that will make all the other owners happy as clams, pushing the value of their product even further.

Walton is one of the heirs to the Walmart empire, and should be an interesting owner in terms of his net worth-as some of the Walton kids hover around the $58B.
Not too shabby, and puts him in the upper echelons of the richest NFL owners.

Other teams that might be next on the sales block includes The New Orleans Saints, the Chicago Bears; Seattle Seahawks, LA Chargers and of course the Washington Commanders.

Out of the top 100 viewed programs on American TV last year, 92 of them were NFL games-meaning this game is only getting bigger. (or all other wokey TV is just crap).

J-Lo Mould

Dancer Jennifer Lopez has looked back at her 2020 SuperBowl halftime performance with Shakira, and called it the ‘worst decision in the world’, putting decisions of genocide, purges and holocausts on the back burner.

Despite barely being a singer, actor, or influencer, Lopez felt that having two headliners on the stage would distract the fans, who of course were only at the SuperBowl to watch menopausal women gyrate while children in cages watched on helplessly.
Even Janet Jackson’s nipple was heard to comment ‘WTF girl!’

Jebbifer make the remarks in an upcoming documentary about her vapid life, while Shakira loves anything that isn’t a comment on her marital demise to a much younger football player.

At least they both had to pay to perform, which is the lesson really learned here.

NFL Pools

Do you guys want to join in some NFL pools for the 2022 season?

May Memes

by

Wowza! What a crazy few weeks its been in the NFL!

Loads of big NFL news to tap into, but we thought we would kick it all off with some tasty NFL May Memes.

Memes are delish, and help content providers encapsulate the feels, with an image. Bless all those unsung heroes who are able to do the good work, when there is so much bad in the world.

Among some of the hot topics touched on in this set.

London Games

Yes! 3 games in London this season, and we got some games!
While we were wrong in our predictions, we didn’t fare too badly.

All the London game info up soon.

Jerry Jeudy

And just like that, another NFL speedster gets the heave ho after breaking the law.

Jed can look forward to going his ‘Bama teammate Henry Ruggs in the cell of shame.

2022 Schedule

The 2022/23 schedule has been released, and it’s looking good for some teams, while another tough schedule ahead for some of the big guys.

All eyes are on the Buffalo Bills this season, as the odds on faves to win it all.

Here are some of the memes for ya, you filthy animals.

 

March Madness

by

The NCAA basketball tourney might be getting all the heat during this spring spree, but the real March Madness is what’s coming out of the NFL offseason.

What the holy heck is going on in the league? Because it feels soooo good!

Elementary Watson

Deshaun Watson has finally found at home in Ohio, but not everyone is thrilled.

Despite not facing any criminal charges, the thigh rubbing ways of Watson is rubbing some fans the wrong way.

Deshaun gets paid big time, and the Browns finally have the baller that they need to compete in an ever dangerous AFC.

It shouldn’t surprise NFL fans that the stink bomb of Watson would follow him wherever he went.
Obviously a team in Las Vegas is going to care less about the issue than the Browns, because that would be the expected behaviour from a Raider.

Hopefully we can all get back to bitching about the Texans and Jets on their own merits.

Rodger Dodger

Maybe the real Last Dance was last year, as Aaron Rodgers slate of dance partners are sashaying off to find other boogie mates.

Davante Adams took less money to go to Vegas and play with Derek Carr, which shows that maybe the tight clique that they have had wasn’t as strong as we all believed.

With VD Scantling also off to greener pastures, Green Bay would have many receiving options they can afford (maybe Cole Beasley?)

Has Rodgers stance from last season come back to bit him in the ass? Or is he an ass for demanding so much money?

At least they’re coming to London.

Chief Concerns

Ruh Roh Patrick! Is everyone leaving you?

Kansas City Chiefs have had some concerns this week, as the Cheetah sprinted off to a nicer jungle, taking a massive pay raise with the Miami Dolphins.

Perhaps it was the signing of Tik Tok Tyrant Juju that put Tyreek over the edge, but whatever it was, the Chiefs had lost a massive talent.

Sure, Tyreek saw a drop in performance last year, but the whole Chiefs team did.

The real question is how are the Dolphins going to hit him with the deep ball?

Florida Tom

Tom Brady is back in Florida, and the Bucs are ready for another season.

But hold on! Rumours are circling the bowl that TB12 is going to play in Florida…but for the Dolphins!

Rumours earlier this season that Tom was moving to Miami, only to stop that train once Brian Flores threw down his ‘Fuck you Miami’ speech.

With Flores off to Pittsburgh, the whispers continue that Tommy might still make a trade to the Fins, and give the Bucs plenty if trade picks.

While it sounds sweet, it would be hard to see recent Tampa signings like Godwin and Gage happy that Tommy squirted off to another sunset.

No Charges

There’s only one NFL team that has had ZERO arrests over the past five years, and that team is the LA Chargers.

The Chargers have also had ZERO fans over this same period, so the figures aren’t totally surprising.

Las Vegas blew the wad on arrests last year, making the Raiders head office and locker rooms a great source of inmate potential.

Lucky for Los Angeles, they have made a bunch of signings in the off season, so those arrest records could be climbing up any week now.

Bucking Colts

The Falcons showed their cards when they said they would go all in for Deshaun Watson, not something their veteran QB Matt Ryan wanted to hear.

No surprise then that Matty Ice got stone cold on ATL, and asked to fly, fly, fly.

The stars aligned pretty good for Matty with the Indianapolis Colts, who have had a sucky QB for the past few years.

While past ball-slingers who rolled into Indy might have been on their last legs, Ryan could be the QB that gets the Colts further than turding it out during their first playoff game.

Might be worth throwing £10 on the Colts winning the AFC as a cheeky bet!

London Games

Packers and Saints are hosting home games at Tottenham, and the Jaguars are once again playing in Wembley.

But who do they play and when?

We will have all of our predictions for you next week!
