And just like that…COVID is back in the NFL!
Did you miss it?

Still more entertaining than a Sex & the City revival, COVID is the Carrie Bradshaw of the NFL, shredding the careers of fully grown men.

So what does this mean for Week 15 in the NFL?
We will break it all down for you in our Deck the League podcast.

Wade & Ryan are back and virus free, as they offer you a Christmas Party of a podcast.
Don’t worry about missing out on the pub, just crank this up to 11 and see what knowledge drip feeds into your lineups.

COVID Games

Thus far, 3 of the NFL games for Week 13 have been moved due to COVID, but more could come.

Sean Payton is already out for the big game against the Bucs after testing positive, too bad the trailer for his new Netflix movie had no tests of positivity.

We will let you know anything that we hear about the games, and when they might be played.

Among some of the games the guys look at in the episode include:

Patriots (9-4) vs -2 Colts (7-6) +45.5

The Patriots are one of the few teams not to get sidelined by the virus this weekend, as we all know that Bill Belichick plans for the biggest threat against them.
See ya virus.

The Colts are favoured by 2 points, despite having a worse record than New England? What does Las Vegas know that we don’t?

Ryan and Wade both like the Pats to keep moving on here, as they seem to dink and dunk enough to get the job done.

Ryan thinks that the game will be a low scoring one, and Wade thinks it will be a back and forth, tight chess match that could get boring for a late night UK fan.

Ryan-Pats 21 Colts 17
Wade-Pats 27 Colts 24

Panthers (5-8) vs -10.5 Bills (7-6)

Oh how the mighty have fallen, a statement that echoes for both of these teams.

Carolina started strong on the back of Christian Mc, and a solid defence.
Now the Panthers are struggling to stay in games, and Cam Newton is atrocious.

Buffalo has gone from number one on the division, to hoping to make a shot at the playoffs.
They need to win this one to stay in it!

Ryan likes his Bills to blow out the lowly Panthers, and get back to their winning ways at home.

Wade struggles to see the Bills covering such a large spread given injuries, COVID and western New York weather.

Ryan-Bills 35 Panthers 13
Wade-Bills 24 Panthers 14

Seahawks (5-8) vs -5 LA Rams (9-4) +45.5

Russ is cooking once again on the back of a rejuvenated running game, and Tyler Lockett getting his groove back.
The Seahawks are in a deep playoff hole, and the chances of them making a post season run fall deeper every week.

LA Rams finally got a win, batting down the pesky Cardinals in a game that saw them still stay in contention for a solid playoff chance. They also got COVID. A lot of it.

Ryan thinks that Seattle will continue their winning ways, sticking it to Matt Stafford and his bad back of infected team mates.

Wade thinks that even an LA Rams team covered in COVID is still better than a healthy Seattle team.

Ryan-Seahawks 30 Rams 24
Wade-Rams 26 Seahawks 23

Week 11 Picks

by

It’s tips ahoy NFL fans, as Wade and Ryan make their picks for Sunday.

In our Week 11 Picks, the guys try to help you find some betting value in your Sunday Funday of action.

While we don’t have any betting partners here in the UK, we do recommend you look around at some of the betting sites and offers.
Many UK betting sites aren’t very NFL savvy, so you will have to dumb down your knowledge to use them.

Clapham

What are you doing Sunday? Need a place to watch the games? Then pop into the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham, right on the high street and near the Clapham Junction station.

The SB&G-C (as we like to shorten it to) has all the NFL games you need, plus Redzone, cold beer and even hotter wings.

Book a table to avoid missing out on a table with your own TV!

Ryan’s Picks

Like a true junkie, Ryan is still coming down from his Falcons fix a few weeks ago. He’s been clean over a week now, and Thursday’s beat down by the Patriots D settled his favour on them.

This week, Ryan is big on Baltimore -5 to beat down the Bears. Despite Lamar maybe not playing, he likes the overall game of the Ravens to squish down the Bears at home.

He likes the Vikes +1 to give the Packers a home stun, taking a victory over their NFC opponents. Is this the time that the tools of Minnesota shines?

Russell Wilson & the Seahawks +2.5 should be cooking Sunday according to Ryan’s pick, as he likes them to fight off the feisty Cardinals in a drizzly home cover.

Lastly Ryan is puffy on Big Ben and the Steelers +6 to gouge out a tight match against the Chargers, keeping them within the -6 spread.

If you want Ryan’s picks, take Ravens, Vikings, Seahawks, & Steelers. A £10 wager will win you £151.20.

Wade’s Picks

Bears +5 are fighting the Ravens this Sunday at Soldier Field, but Wade is full on Beatdown mode for this one, despite losing Khalil Mack.
Wade thinks that the Bears will easily cover, and possibly win against a limp squad lacking Lamar Jackson.

Washington FT +3 has its hands full with Superman on Sunday, but let’s see how super he is.
WFT might be tuckered after an emotional savaging of the Bucs last week, or they might be even more inspired to be better than their 3 wins.
Wade thinks the Panthers will stumble at home.

The Chiefs are back, but so are the Cowboys +2.5…and Dallas just has a better team.
Perhaps Patrick Mahomes will have another stellar day, or more likely, we will see the Chiefs of the early part of the season.
Dallas can run relentlessly over Kansas City, and they will most likely do that.

Put your hands up for Detroit +13. No, seriously guys, please. Detroit could really use it.
Fresh off a tough tie against the Steelers, the Lions lose Jared Goff in a 13 point underdog game to the Browns. The same Cleveland team that got dick punched by the Patriots last week.
Detroit will lose, but not by that much. They have a heck of a running game, and nothing to lose.

If you want to roll with Wade, take the Bears, Washington, Cowboys, & Lions. A £10 wager will hit you back with £162.10

That’s it for the Week 11 tips. Let us know how you make out.

Week 8 Tips

by

The clocks fell back in the UK Sunday, so hopefully you are all well rested and pumped for another great week in NFL betting.

Wade and Ryan are back with all of their top Week 8 Tips, to help you make the most informed (or half ass) decisions when it comes down to laying some cash on the Week 8 games.

Ryan has plenty of upsets tee’d up for the Sunday slate of games, while Wade has some eerie predictions for the Halloween set of matches.

Who do you have in your Week 8 picks?

Ryan’s Tips

Freshly back from the tundra of Canada, Ryan and his Bills are well rested heading into Sunday, and ready to rock the heck out of the Dolphins.

He likes the Detroit Lions and Dan Campbell to get their first WIN of the season, with an inspiring upheaval over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ryan thinks that this is the first W of the season for the lowly Lions, and that Jalen Hurts and the boys will continue to struggle in the season.

Pittsburgh might be slowly sinking into the AFC North, but Ryan likes the Steelers this week in a get right game against the bashed up Browns.
Big Ben isn’t as big as he once was, nor is he as talented, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the tools to piss all over the Dawg Pound.

Bump and grind might be how Urban Meyer approaches the NFL, as well as college girls at the bar.
Jacksonville has struggled mightily all season, but so have the Seattle Seahawks who host them in Week 8.
Ryan likes Trevor Lawrence and the Jags to get their second win of the season.

Dak is out, which means that the talents of Cooper Rush could be called upon to face the Vikings in Minnesota Sunday night.
Ryan believes that the talented corps of the Vikes can overcome the ferocious running game of Dem Boyz, and squeak out a big W on Sunday night.
The line dropped from the Cowboys being 2.5 pt faves to being 3 point underdogs.

If you take Ryans upsets of DET, PIT, JAC, and MIN for Week 8 and drop £10 on it, you would win £154.70.

Wade’s Picks

Wade had another great week in NFL tips, slugging out 9 correct games in Week 7.

Here are some of his nuggets of wisdom for the Sunday slate of games in the league.

Carolina Panthers have been imploding as of late. With Christian still out, and talk turning to dumping him for Deshaun Watson, the team MUST be in freefall, right?
Nah. The Panthers still have a fast pass rush, and welcome happy Gilmore from the Pats.
Wade thinks that the Panthers will upset the Falcons by disrupting Matt Ryan all day long.

The Indianapolis Colts have been playing out there football, winning to teams they should lose to and vice versa.
Will the other shoe drop soon sending Wentz back to the injury tent?
Not this game.
Wade likes this divisional rival game to get big points, and a big day for the Colts in a win.

‘Justin Fields isn’t ready to be a starter’ is something Wade has been saying since week 1. With Dalton down and out, Fields will once again take to the field after a beatdown by the Bucs.
The 49ers are no Tampa, they’re not even Jacksonville.
Wade likes his Chicago Bears to move their D up on San Fran and to disrupt a Sunday win.

Tampa Bay and the Bucs are clearly one of the best teams in the NFL, while the New Orleans Saints are…an NFL team.
That being said, the Bucs will heading into a much needed week 9 bye week, so they might just grab a lead and let it coast.
Jameis Winston will have a chip, pretzel, and falafel on his shoulder in this game, so there will be motivation.
Wade likes the Saints to cover the spread, just not win the game.

Taking Wade’s week 8 tips of CAR, IND, CHI and NO on a £10 bet will yield you lovely £145.10.

Week 1 Tips

by

Sunday Funday is finally here, which means it’s time to get NFL serious, as we give you our Week 1 Tips.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull exhaust themselves every week breaking down every game, using enhanced super computers, tapping into dark crystals, and channeling dark energy from NFL players of old.

Week 1 is always a bag of cats as you have no idea what happens when everything gets loose, and it’s time to take the field.  It’s hard to predict how the offseason went, how new players have fit into the system, and who is hiding their injuries.

That being said, here are our top picks for the week.

Ryan

Texans (+4) -Houston, we have a problem…Ryan is betting on you for week 1. He thinks that Urban Myer and his group of kids is going to struggle against a nameless Texans squad.

Bengals (+3)-Ryan is Burrowing his bets on Joe in this tough match against the Vikings. With Zimmer being a mess at play calling, he is sure that Cincinnati kids will be able to rally together to overthrow the Minnesota menaces.

NY Giants (+3)-Who the heck would back Daniel Jones in his first game of the season? Ryan would! He loves Saquon and the boys to stuff if down the throat of Fangio and his fanboys in a low scoring affair.

Saints (+4) The Saints might not come marching in, but they will put up a homestead against the ready to rumble Packers. Despite a hurricane rocking the Saints away from home, they will be full Jameis’d for this affair, and Kamara will add to the woes of Green Bay. He doesn’t see the Saints winning, but covering-yes.

Raiders (+4) Late night NFL fans will be watching this Monday night contest with bleary eyes, as it doesn’t start here until the wee hours of the morn. Ryan is big on the bad boy Raiders to grab a win from the flightless Ravens at home.

If you’re smart enough to follow Ryan’s lead, you could rip home a lovely profit of, on a £10 bet.
Betting a tenner will win you £317.27 using Ryan’s tips above.
You ready to get lucky?

Wade

Despite besting Ryan in betting against the spread for the past few years, Wade is always cautious heading into week 1.
He does have some games that he has an inkling he thinks will go all wrong.
These include:

Cardinals (+3)-Tiny Kyler and his Cardinal Babies struggled last season to find their footing, but they should be fully planted for this contest. This will be a DFS bonanza, as both teams trade long balls all day long. The Titans traditionally start slow, and this game will demonstrate that.

Colts (+3)-Carson Wentz is back, said no one trying to intimidate another person ever. The Colts were a dominant team last season led by a ridiculous O line and fast D. There’s no reason that doesn’t change for week 1 as they battle a weak Seahawks D. Look for a home town celebration.

Eagles (+3)-Philly wasn’t so special last year as they struggled with a rotation at QB. By the time Jalen Hurts took over, there was a bit too much pressure for the youngster to succeed.
With a whole new support squad, this team can score, which is what they will do against the Falcons.

Dolphins (+3)-Mac Jones has the football, everyone be afraid! Bill Belichick has spent some time building his new squad out of clay, but that doesn’t mean that they will hold up to the toughness of the NFL. It’s one thing to do well in preseason. Miami starts the season strong, and Flores will have some mind games ready for little Mac.

Bengals (+3) -Not to win, but to cover. The Bengals can score if Joe Burrow has his head (and body) in the game. Minnesota is weak in back D, which should give the Bengals plenty of chances to torch them deep. A close game for sure.

Taking Wade’s picks, with a £10 wager will win you £310.66, a nice chunk of pocket change to start your Monday.

Come join us Week 3 at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street to get a chance to WIN a set of tickets to the Miami Dolphins vs Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Stadium.

Have a great Sunday!

 

Week 1 Picks

by

That sweet taste of autumn brings with it another NFL season, which means it’s time to start making predictions, we bring you all off that in our Week 1 Picks podcast.

Week 1 is always a bag of snakes, because we never really how these new teams will face off, plus loads of rookies are now going to face real men for the first time and this can skew a game real fast.

With that in mind Wade  Ryan make their predictions for week 1 in our latest podcast. Have a listen, and make sure you share with your friends and foes alike. Some of our picks might be so bad (Ryan’s), that you can get payback.

Actually, looking at last season Ryan Cull came out with a respectable 48.8% against the spread. Not bad considering his season before.

Wade McElwain had a better season with an average of 55.4%, a far cry from his 63% season in 2019.

Of course, this year is completely different, and so are the teams. Except of course the Bucs, they’re better, but different.

Steelers (0-0) vs Bills (0-0) -6.5 +48

Ryan is saying Bills, Bills, Bills, & he is ripping to go. Josh Allen will be on fire, the whole wide receiver corps will spread the love, and screw the running back, who needs one.
It’s hard not to like Buffalo at home in this one, as the tables and end zone looks to be smashed in this AFC big boys game.

Ryan likes Buffalo to win big at home, stealing a win from the Steelers.

Wade too is bullish on the blue boys at home, knowing that blue collar love and two years worth of foldable table frustrated fans awaits the Pittsburgh black and gold when they take the field.

It will be interesting to see if Harris is worth the hype, and if he can gash that tough Bills D in his first NFL game.

The Steelers had an easy start last season, but not this one.

Prediction

Ryan
Bills 20 Steelers 20

Wade
Bills 33 Steelers 24

Cardinals(0-0) vs Titans(0-0) -3 +52.5

The hype is here and it’s backed by a Watt as Kyler Murray and the Cardinals look to fly in the land of the giants.

Ryan Tannehill is locked and loaded with a new set of trusty in hands in JJ as the Titans hope to squash the pest birds and their scooty QB.

Ryan (our Ryan) thinks that the other Ryan is under rated, and picks him to have a hell of a game. He also is rooting for the legs of Derek Henry to gash the weak parts of the Arizona D all day.
Ryan also hates Cliff Kinsbury and everything he touches and hopes the Cardinals lose big.

Wade on the other hand is big and the birds, and the fantasy points in this game alone. Pairing Hopkins with Murray with a sniff of AJ Green is bound to get you points in a contest.
Adding to that is a weak Tennessee back field that will struggle more in this shooting contest of a game.
Birds for the upset.

Prediction

Ryan
Titans 27 Cardinals 23

Wade
Cardinals 35 Titans 30

Eagles (0-0) Falcons (0-0) -3 +48.5

More birds in this 6pm (UK) game in a very important starting match for both teams.

The Eagles have a lot to prove this year, after a bunch of speedsters on receiver, and plugging some holes in their D will help them not lose as many games as they did last year.
It’s Jalen’s team now. He can run and pass, but can he complete?

Atlanta has another Ryan that has been struggling as of late, but his name is Matt.
Like door-Matt, because the lack of offensive line protecting him has made the past few years tough.
Their D was very bad, and there hasn’t been much effort to really fix the back end of that.
Plus there were the salty comebacks, more than you can find on Pornhub.

Ryan believes in Ryan and has the home field Falcons swooping down on the inept Hurts to begin the season with a wicked ass win.

Wade on the other hand is rooting for an upset, calling for the Eagles to put an impressive first game together to net the Falcons and their weak secondary.
Philly likes to bust out a big one in days of olde, and it feels like Jalen Hurts is going to have a nutter of a great Sunday.

Prediction

Ryan
Falcons 27 Eagles 20

Wade
Eagles 31 Falcons 28
