Top 5 QBs

by

The 2021 NFL season has barely even begun, and we are already starting to see some players who look to dominate the stats. 

Brady has been ageless, Lamar has been inspiring, Daniel Jones fleet footed, and Kyler Murray has just been sublime.

Let’s take a look at some of the top players to pop their heads up thus far this season, in our way too early ‘Top 5 QBs’ predictor. 

Tom Brady

It is rumoured that the fabled fountain of youth is somewhere in Florida after being discovered by Ponce de Leon.
Given that the way that TB12 and company have been playing thus far this season, it’s safe to say that the Bucs may have found that fountain. 

Boasting 9 touchdowns in only 2 games of the season, Brady is on target to have one of his best years yet.
Adding to this is that new, mental health smile that Tommy wears in every interview.

Unlike during his days on the Pats, Brady actually looks like he wants to be there, and is having fun.
That’s a huge motivator to his O line and rest of the team, as they get to watch an old man playing a game that he loves. 

Here’s his Insta if you want to help spread his love.

If Brady & Gronk keep connecting like they have been, Brady and the Bucs should be a shoo-in to make the final 4 of the 2021 NFL season. 

Matthew Stafford

Oh what the wonders of switching teams will do to a man. 

After a long suffering spell at the Lions with their shaky offensive line, Matthew Stafford has finally moved on to his forever team. 

Matt impressed with a definitive week 1 beatdown of the Bears, followed up by a tough, but inspired win against the frustrated Colts. 

Stafford has quickly found the hands of Cooper Kupp and Tyler Higbee, as he looks to turn the team into contenders after struggling under the arm of Goff. 

Just like Brady took a few games to get the Bucs going last year, it might be a few more weeks before we see the Rams in full punishing mode, as they look to find their feet in the season.

Derek Carr

Sorry, did you say Derek Carr?

Yep, this Las Vegas gunslinger has been lighting up the league early in the 2021 season, with wins over the Ravens and Steelers to solidify their status as ‘scary’ for upcoming opponents. 

Despite being bounced around in these contests, Carr is leading the league in passing this far, and it isn’t even close. 

Chucking for over 800 yards, Carr has been spreading the ball like peanut butter to his whole host of receivers and the big-balling Darren Waller. 

Critics are quick to predict the imminent downfall of the Raiders, ignoring the fact that they handled both AFC contenders quite easily. 

Losing Josh Jacobs in week 2 put a lot more pressure on Carr’s battered body, but his competitiveness has shone like a bright light on the strip. 

Russell Wilson

Do you smell that?
It’s Russ cooking in the kitchen, and things are starting to heat up.

Wilson has been peppering Tyler Lockett with deep balls, while feeding the beast that is DK.

Despite a tough second half in week 2, Russ has continued to pour on the points, adding 5 touchdowns to his career tally in 2021.
What’s even more impressive is that Wilson has zero interceptions thus far this season, something even Aaron Rodgers can’t boast about. 

The Seahawks often have mid-season break downs piled on by injuries, so we will have to see how chef Wilson is able to keep his kitchen cooking. 

Until then, the aroma in Seattle smells nice!

Kyler Murray

If good things come in small packages, then the Arizona Cardinals are sitting on one of the best small packages in the NFL.

Kyler Murray led his team to another dramatic victory in week 2, solidifying his status as a top NFL MVP candidate. 

Despite dropping out of MVP the race last season due to injury, Kyler (+750) is now pipped amongst Tom Brady (+750), and just behind Mahomes to snag the title this season. 

He leads the Cardinals into week 3 as 7.5-point favourites against the Jaguars.

If Arizona takes home another win, expect Kyler Murray’s MVP odds to get even better. 

With upcoming games against the 49ers, Rams and Browns, the Cardinals and Kyler will be tested every week. 

Unlike like last season however, Murray has more speedster receivers, more confidence and JJ Watt. 

That’s it for our top 5, is there anyone that you think we missed on the list? 

Don’t forget, we have games coming to London soon, so watch this space for all the big NFL in London news .

Sky Week 2

by

For those of us that live in the UK, there is a tinge of sadness that we don’t get to watch all the NFL games.

To find out which games will be blacked out in England, we point you to the games on Sky Week 2.
Luckily, some of them stink so there are others to watch.

A true NFL fan abroad will invest in Gamepass, which is a way to watch MOST of the NFL games, as well as a whole host of replays, options and other programs.

Sadly, if Sky Sports is showing a game, it will be blacked out on Gamepass, forcing viewers to either fork out money for Sky Sports, watch another game, or just flip on the VPN.

The gang on Sky Sports bust their humps every week to push out of a broadcast from their Osterley studios.
For many viewers, they are a UK institution…for others….well, just read the forums.

TNF

Sky Sports shows TNF, as does Gamepass and Amazon.
To be honest, Amazon offers the bets show here, as the streaming quality and broadcast team are heads and tails above the rest.
With rumours circling that Amazon is planning on buying ALL the NFL rights, it seems logical that they play around with it to get it right first.

49ers vs Eagles

6pm GMT

20 years ago, this would have been one heck of a contest…in 2021…not so much.

Both teams are coming off of wins, but also coming off of a playoff less season.
Everyone is throwing heat at these two franchises early on, forgetting what a steaming pile that they both were only a few months ago.

In week 1, both of thee teams won…beating Detroit and Atlanta…dumpster fire central in terms of franchises.
Now they get to beat up each other…except it won’t go as easy, and as fun to watch as last week.

Sky Sports will be showing this game which looks to be a defensive battle of few points, turnovers and oodles of penalties.
Given this, there should be plenty of commercial breaks, which gives the Sky team a little more face time.

Like a child’s drawing, this looks good on paper, but there’s nothing else really to do with it.

Cowboys vs Chargers

9pm GMT

Dak & the boys head to the coast to take on the fast paced LA Chargers in a half empty stadium, in a game that really isn’t the best of the rest.

After getting humbled by TB12 & the Bucs last week, the Cowboys will be looking to use that extra time to plug some holes that Tommy boy shredded through their back side.

Justin Herbert and the boys will be smarting from a tough Washington game last week, that saw them rip Fitzmagic from the fabric of space, time and shoulder.
Joey Bosa and company are going to make Dak’s life hell for the second week in a row.

If you DO want to watch this game, just an FYI that it is on Sky Sports, and you WON’T be able to access it regularly through Gamepass UK.

Chiefs vs Ravens

1:30am GMT

Who stays up at this unGodly hour?
True NFL fans!

There won’t be too many places that show this game live in London on a Sunday night, and if you go, you might be missing an internal organ or two.
(Central London late at night gets stabby)

This game is also on Sky Sports as well as Gamepass.
You won’t have a delay on Gamepass.

That’s it for the Sky Sports schedule this week for week 2.

Hope you join us this Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street for 40+ TVs of NFL action.

See you Sunday.

 

 

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!
