DraftKings Picks

by

Conference championships, only 4 teams, so who do you pick?
Obviously there is a lot of value to be had on the top picks, but DFS is also about finding value in the other WRs, RBs and Flexs in the bunch.

Wade McElwain makes his Conference Championship picks on DraftKings, to make your life easier.
Here are some of the top picks he likes his week.

QB

Patrick Mahomes-$7700

Dude came back from a 27 point deficit to chuck down 51 points. He could have score close to 70 if he didn’t take his foot off the gas. It’s hard to see anyway that Mahomes ISN’T the best QB stats wise this weekend.
Even if they lose (big leap) Mahomes will still put up 40 points and 300 yards.
He is at home with a wealth of talent to throw to.
He is the best QB this weekend bar none.

RB

Tevin Coleman $5700

The 49ers have several RBs at their disposal, and will have plenty of opportunities to use them in the Redzone, and to gash the Packers throughout the night. It’s a wealth of guys to choose from, but Coleman is one of those guys who can really blast it through for the score. He should get at least 1 TD Sunday.

Aaron Jones $6700

AJ is the Packers running game. While he was kept to just 38 yards the last time these 2 played, he should be able to get more Sunday, since he is their only solution. Jones should have a 120yd night, with at least 1 TD.

WR

Sammy Watkins $4600

There are so many weapons at Mahomes disposal, how do you pick just one? Watkins is one of those guys who seems to score in pressure situations. This veteran is a solid choice when it comes to the Redzone, as well as finding separation from defenders in the game. Watkins is a good value for someone who might get you an extra 8 points.

AJ Brown $5200

Brown has been a beast for the Titans this year, so it was a bit surprising to see him only go for $5200. He should have a good game, despite the fact that the Chiefs should smother him in coverage. They will need to go deep if they fall behind, and he is the one that they will target the most.

TE

Travis Kelce $7100

Kelce is THE TE to fear this Sunday. The Titans don’t cover TE’s that well, so he should be able to gash the Titans for loads of yards and a few TDs. Sure, $7100 is pretty high, but when you know how many score he should get (3?) then you know that he will pay off in points.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, and play in the numerous contests we have on for Sunday.

Good luck, and see you at Long Acre tonight!

Playoff Memes

And then there were 4. With each team that is lost, another group of memes appears to replace them.
The more teams that get knocked out, the bigger and funnier the memes!

Make sure you make you bets for this Sunday with BetRegal, and join in our DraftKings League.
Until then-enjoy the memes!

See you Sunday in London at the Long Acre bar in Covent Garden.

Conference Championships

by

London is not an NFL city. Sure, we are fortunate enough to get 4 amazing games each year, but when it comes to watching and supporting the NFL at venues across the city-you will be hard pressed to find a good venue that is consistent.

Sadly, many of the sports bars (if you can call them that) and pubs shut early on Sunday nights, and even if they do show the NFL it will be without sound and after the footie has finished.

We have struggled to find good venues in the city that offer 1) a true NFL experience 2) good viewing with sound 3) open late 4) close to tubes/transit 5) good food and drink  6) not too expensive 7) truly care about NFL fans.
You would be surprised how tough it is, especially number 7.
Why? Big pub chains want you in, but they don’t really care to offer you a selection of games or listen to the fans.
It’s a work in progress, but it takes time.

Luckily, we have a great venue cracking on for the playoffs in the Long Acre in central London.
Recently refurbished with loads of TVs and amazing sound, it is one of the few places open late and willing to get late licenses.

Which is why we are very happy to be able to show the games this Sunday, with a late license going until the wee hours.
You can settle in and watch both games with sound.

We are charging a nominal amount for tickets to cover the license and security, but you get a great deal as a result.

The bar will be open until 4am, so that you can catch the end of the NFC Championship match.

We will also be showing the Super Bowl here as well.
There are LOADS of venues showing the Super Bowl in London this year, but ask yourself ‘do they ever show the NFL throughout the season?’
If the answer is ‘No’, ask yourself what kind of experience will they be putting on?
Probably one where they take advantage of you, grab your money and don’t offer anything of entertainment or sporting value.
Shame, shame, shame.

Join us for authentic NFL in London fun.

See you Sunday!

 

 

Wade’s DraftKings Line-Up

by

Do you even DFS bro?
It’s daily fantasy NFL time, and I have compiled a list of players that you could put on your DraftKings line-up.
I did, and I won money last week, so it’s up to you.

It’s always tricky when you only have 4 games to choose from, because there are the obvious choices, but you need to make sure that you grab the high value targets, as well as be able to splash out on some of the cheaper options that will still give you points.
With some injuries across a few of the teams, there is value to be had I tell ya!

Here are some of the picks I made for my teams.

QB

Jimmy Garoppolo $5600

Yes, I overlooked Lamar, Partrick, Aaron & Russell, because I am looking for value.
The 49ers should be able to put up some points on a Vikings D that is weak against the deep pass.
Whether it’s Samuel or more likely Kittle, Jimmy G will at least get 2-3 touchdowns at home.
For $5600, he’s good value to let me choose other players.

RB

Gus Edwards $4900

Mark Ingram’s back-up? Yep. Ingram is hurt, but likely to play, so how will he be used?
Edwards will be used in a power back role, as well as in goal line situations, which makes him a safe bet for a few points. The Ravens won’t want to be throwing him into the line of fire, especially if they have a lead. So look for Edwards to be used in key roles.

WR

Deebo Samuel $5200

Samuel has had a fantastic season, despite coming into fruition a little late in the game. He has speed, great hands and can really get some good yards going after the catch. For $5200 he is great value for potential points. He has the speed to mess up Minnesota in the back field, and I like him to be cagey for the Vikes to deal with.

Tyreek Hill $7600

Splash that cash baby! Watch for the cheetah to totally blow past the Texans D on Sunday. How are they going to contain a guy that is totally healthy and ready to rip them a new one? His should easily surpass 100 yards and at least 1 TD on Sunday, so make sure you make room for him in your line-up.

TE

George Kittle $6200

Kittle is the man! The main TE this season who can get open, make the big plays and gash for yards after the catch. I can’t see how the Vikings will contain him. There are too many big players to worry about, and Kittle finds the holes then rips them open even further. Worth the spend.

DEF

Chiefs $3200

Everyone is healthy and at home. If (when) the Chiefs start building up a lead, DeShaun Watson is going to have to shuttle that ball around. So if he makes a mistake, who gets it? That’s right, the Kansas D.

Other players I chose this week include: Emmanuel Sanders (SF) $5400, Marquise Brown (BAL) $4400 & Aaron Jones (GB) $7400

So there’s my line-up for this weekend.

Wade’s Picks

Weekend Picks Against the Spread

It’s Divisional Weekend in the NFL, so I thought I would share my picks for this weekend.

There are some pretty damn tight games, as well as some pretty high spreads-which means this one will be tricky when getting the point spreads and the overs right.
I also always like to check the weather, as that will affect the over/under in most games-as it’s tough to score in snow!
Luckily it looks like a pretty placid weekend, even in Green Bay.

If you want to take my picks, head over to BetRegal-where they have some great offers for NFL divisional weekend. Take my picks and win big.

We also have a DraftKings contest on this weekend, so see if you can win big in that one as well.

So here are my picks for the weekend.

Saturday

Vikings (11-6) vs -7 49ers (13-3) +45

The Vikings and 49ers seem to be at opposite ends of the playoff spectrum. The Vikings started sluggish, then rebounded near the end of the season, while the Niners crushed everyone to start, before giving up a few suspect losses.
Yes, the Vikings do have momentum and a healthy line-up heading down to the Bay area.
The 49ers have played extremely well at home, and with that extra week off-will be anticipating the deep ball threat of the Vikes.
The big difference here is going to be the 49ers front 7 vs Kirk Cousins.
If you can get to Kirk, the offence is going to fall apart. He’s not a scrambling QB, so if they can get him on his back feet-they will score.
I like the Vikings to keep it closer than the 7 point spread, but these Niners with a week off will be too much to handle.
George Kittle will have a great game as well.
VIKINGS COVER

Titans (10-7) vs -9.5 Ravens (14-2) + 47

How do you solve a problem like Lamar Jackson? You don’t.
He is too fast, too smart, and has incredible QB IQ.
I think even Dr. Strange would need to go through multiple universe possibilities to see how the Titans can beat the Ravens.
Sure, they beat a hobbled Tom Brady and the Patriots last weekend, but the Pats averaged more yards than they did.
With a week off, and plenty of film to review the Ravens will be focused on shutting down Henry & Tannehill.
Henry will be tough, because he can pretty much through everything.
Tannehill on the other hand will be suspect to some huge pass rushes and a fierce secondary looking for loose balls meant for AJ Brown.
The Titans might be able to score on a scripted play early on, but the Ravens will pile on the pressure.
This one could be over by halftime.
RAVENS WIN

Sunday Games

Texans (11-6) vs -9.5 Chiefs (12-4) + 50.5

Looking for points? This game promises loads of them, as Patrick Mahomes heads to home field with a week off.
The Texans were able to overcome a plucky Bills team to steal a victory last week, but can they do it this week?
No way.
The Chiefs have a healthy roster back, and redemption in mind after their loss to the Texans this season.
Kansas has also improved on its D, with many healthy bodies back in the fold.
Can’t see anyway that the Texans will do anything but crumble under pressure in this game.
CHIEFS WIN

Seahawks (12-5) vs -4 Packers (13-3) +46.5

The Packers are 13-3 with a bye, but did they really whoop anyone this year?
Is anyone really scared of the Packers?
Yeas, they have home field advantage and the Seahawks have sucked at Lambeau in the past, but this game will be more than about that.
The Seahawks continue to grow in confidence, even with huge injuries to their running game.
Marshawn might be old and crusty, but he still can power run through some tough lines and is great in the redzone.
The Seahawks easily cruised through the Philly D, and there’s no reason to suspect that they won’t do the same here.
Russell Wilson should gash up yards running from the Packers D, who have trouble with QBs of his pedigree.
I originally thought that the Seahawks might be able to cover, but now I am confident that they can win.
SEAHAWKS WIN

Make sure you join us at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden this weekend. FYI that if you are coming Saturday, you will need a ticket after 10pm as that’s when it becomes ticketed.
Why is that?
It’s central London on a Saturday-it gets nutty.

See you this weekend and good luck on your bets!

Wades Late Picks

by

Greetings from Canada, where the games are a reasonable 5 hrs behind the U.K.

As I sit in a WildWings bar, scoffing some of the 101 flavours of chicken wings, I am struck by the crazy 1st game scores. Loads of teams are playing out of their heads, while others are trying to steady theirs.

Upon looking at the scores & spreads I have adjusted some of my 4pm game picks.

-9 Titans vs Texans

This game first came up as a 3 point spread, then rocketed to 9. The Texans are sitting loads of players, so you can see why. 9 points though? That’s just a bit much for my taste given how low these first game scores have been. I can’t see them making it that high. Texans cover.

Redskins vs -13 Cowboys

The Redskins have been like herpes this season, infecting & itching the opposition. The Cowboys need a win, but 13 points against a team who has been getting under the skin of every team? Doubtful. Heck, they might even win. Redskins cover.

-3.5 Eagles vs Giants

Go Daniel go! These two teams have had a wild season with each other, & this game will be the same. But remember the adage that ‘a team that needs to win, rarely does.’ Giants will make this game tough. Giants cover.

Steelers vs -1 Ravens

The Ravens will barely care about this game as they want to stay healthy. The Steelers want to go out with a bang, boom & happy ending. They will be motivated to finish 9-7 for the season & they should. Steelers win.

Make your bets on BetRegal, & see how you do with my picks.

Put down a tenner on these & make a nifty £124.90!

Good luck!

Week 16-Saturday

by

The NFL on Saturday? What is this, Christmas?
Presents for everyone!
Week 16 is always a tough week to handicap, because teams play for the playoffs or players play to get traded next season.
After taking a bath in my picks last week, I am hoping to rebound with a solid weekend of NFL savvy.
How many can I get right this week?
Let’s start with our Saturday matches to see where my head is at.

-3 Texans (9-5) vs Buccaneers (7-7) +50.5

The Bucs are bringing back Jameis for 2020, so saddle in fans.
Jameis has continued to put up a buckled of points every week, despite tossing as many INTs and fumbling the ball.
He’s had 2 games in a row with 450+ yards, and he could continue that against a tired, and weakened Texans secondary.
His top 2 receivers will also be a gamete decision, so Perriman could see the ball quite a bit in this game.
The Texans will want a win, but with a Titans rematch in Week 17, they might not be as fully focused.
The Bucs have a solid front D that will force DeShaun into pressure situations to make mistakes.
Tampa is playing to a hometown Christmas crowd, so look for them to deliver a present in the form of a close game.
Texans will irk out the win, but barely.
Bucs COVER

Bills (10-4) vs -6 Patriots (11-4)

The battle of the AFC East, as the plucky Bills have strung together their first 10 game win season since the Doug Flutie years.
Tom Brady has been playing ‘meh’ football thanks to a paltry receiving corp and an offensive line that has seen a lot of new faces.
The Pats D keeps them in games with Gilmore ripping the ball from anyone in sight. John Brown will have a tough matchup here.
Josh Allen will need to move his feet to get rid of the ball, as he will probably see a lot of pressure from that fast Pats D.
Beasley should have a good fantasy game, as he will probably be the X factor that the Patriots ignore.
Edeleman looks sort of injured, so don’t see him having a ripper of a game.
The Patriots will do what they do. Go up early, face a comeback, then rip the guts out of them to close it out.
Patriots WIN

Rams (8-6) vs -6 49ers (11-3)

What are the Rams doing? First they are able to string a few wins together, then they look to implode on themselves. The 49ers are hurting after their losses, seeing their position in the playoffs drop to a lowly Wildcard spot. They need a win here and will have some healthy bodies back to do it.
The 49ers front line will be all over Goff, who’s O line has been patched together with old and new.
Jimmy G should have a great game, feasting on Kittle and letting Mostert gash through whatever is left.
Goff will struggle in this win, unless he is able to master some deep ball, which is an issue for the 49ers in recent weeks.
The Niners need this win. Both teams are desperate to make the playoffs, but San Fran doesn’t want to watch all of that hard work go to waste.
49ers WIN

I am a jackass really, but one who knows NFL picks.
Call it a gift, a curse, or a result of infantile sports laziness, but I am pretty good at making NFL picks each week.
I do my research, listen, learn and watch. Not just the games, but the stats, the weather, and emotions. Players are people too, and the locker room can transfer onto the field of play with ease.

I’m doing pretty good this season, hitting a sweet 64%. This is based on a season record of 132-73-2 of spread betting. Not game betting, I am betting on the Vegas based point spread on all of these games. There were a few solid mid week winners, except Week 9, which hurt like a throat infection. Week 14 was a dick knuckle duster to the soul, but I was 8-6-2, & came 3rd in a large fantasy league of seasoned minds, so I didn’t feel that bad.
I have rebounded with new information and confidence.

The next few weeks in the NFL are getting tense, so we need to pay attention to what happens to see where we bet.
You ready sensei?

Subscribe and follow me

I will be embarking on a whole new service of NFL tips and advice.

In the next few weeks I will try to rise above this 64% to satisfy y’all with some great NFL betting advice.
I make no claims of guaranteeing wins, but I can offer some advice on how to parlay some of my tips into some nice yields.

Yes, you can bet big on a few games, but sometimes it’s sweeter to bet a bunch of smaller bets with greater pay days. With a £50 deposit, I have been able to run a Sunday train on 20 parlay options that made me over £860. Do that every week and £50 a week isn’t such a big pain in the pocket.

With smart betting on my tips you can make an easy £5000 a month. Yes, you will win. No, you won’t win every time. It’s up to you how much you wager, but I will try to give you the best parlays that will jingle your pant pockets.

Follow me, and I will be setting up a yearly or monthly tips service for avid sports fans. NFL for sure, but once that season ends I will hit you with NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA & XFL tips.
I know and watch them all.
Let’s do this.

Come also watch me host quizzes or perform comedy across the UK. I love to entertain, and sports betting is just a great part of it.

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 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!
