Wade’s Week 10 Parlays

by

Parlay-alay! It’s time to make some money in Week 10 of the NFL!
I’ve put together my top parlay list for Week 10 in the NFL so that you can make some money.

The one above is a great little earner.
The Browns to upset the Bills at home, the Cardinals to beat the spread in a high scoring Bucs game, Steelers D to win again, and the Chiefs to Mahomes away the Titans.

Here are some of my picks

Bills @ Browns (-2.5)

The Browns deserve to win here. They are feeling low, and a home win is what Mayfield needs to charge up the engines. The Bills are cruising at 6-2, and so they might want to experiment with this offence of theirs to gear up for a playoff run.
BROWNS WIN 24-20

Cardinals @ Bucs (-4.5)

Will Jameis be able to hold onto the ball & throw for 300 yards? Maybe. But the Cards are playing renegade football these days & Murray can run. This will be a big points game, but the Bucs turnover the ball too much & tank in the 4th.
CARDINALS WIN 27-23

Rams (-3.5) @ Steelers

The Steelers are like a broken toy that seems to be putting itself together. They are not entirely out in this division, and their D is holding them in some of these games. Injuries have been smarting, but so has the Rams O line. Goff hates being chased & often makes mistakes. He will be chased & picked in this one.
STEELERS WIN 28-26

Chiefs (-6) @ Titans

Mahomes is back! Hide your end zones! Patty is looking to bitch slap this Titans D & if they can get their running game pumping, they can surely start cooking to the finish line. Their D is solid, and that spells trouble for Ryan & his O line. Tannehill is going to be looking for a hill, because there will be nothing in front of him.
CHIEFS WIN 33-20

Week 9-Best Plays

by

What a week in the NFL for Week 9!

It was the final game for the 2019 London series, with Gardner Minshew stinking up the join worse than rotten camembert in the fridge.

So what were some of the best plays in the NFL for Week 9?
Well thanks to the lovely editors at NFL Films, we can share with you all of the big plays from Week 9 so that you can see why you might have gotten smoked in fantasy.

Some of the highlights/ lowlights include:

  • Bears vs Eagles
    Mitch Trubisky is a joke. A very unfunny joke that is turning more into a nightmare. He is a college player playing in the NFL, and it shows. What will they do with him? Will the Bears be able to save him before the fans kill him?
  • Redskins vs Bills
    The Bills are now 6-2, so throw a dildo on the bar-b and let’s celebrate. They haven’t beaten too many huge teams, but are pushing for a playoff spot. They laid a beating on the Redskins who are sinking lower than the status of many native Americans. What will they do to stop the atrocity?
  • Jets vs Dolphins
    The Dolphins won! What is going on in the world? Adam Gase is lucky to have a job…for now. How long before he gets tossed into the dumpster that he created?
  • Lions vs Raiders
    The Raiders won another game, and their defense is starting to keep them in the games. Sure, most of the credit goes to Josh Jacobs and the running game, but they are looking good for next year in Vegas, plus with all those draft picks they have saved up.

Week 10-Sky

by

Week 10 already?!?!
How is this season blowing by so quickly?

Week 9 brought some joy, some pain and many more questions.
Obviously it was nice to see the Patriots lose their FIRST game of the season, and add to that a Packers humiliating loss to the lowly Chargers, and things were looking pretty good.
Which of these teams will bounce back in Week 10?

Sky Sports has announced their schedule for Week 10, so that you can catch some of the best games in full HD.
While most people aren’t up for the Thursday and Monday night games, the 6pm and 9pm games should be some pretty big contests.
(These games are blacked out for Gamepass users).

The 6pm game is the Cardinals vs Bucs, which must have been chosen since their fans will probably never see them on TV. Both teams stink bad, and this game will probably stink even worse.
Maybe Kyler can get a win here against Shame-is and his inept offence?
This game screams ‘what’s on Gamepass?’

The 9pm game should be better as the Panthers take on the Packers at home. After watching the Chargers lay a beat down on the Packers D, maybe there is a bit of a roadmap here for future beatings?
The Packers should be ready to toss down after that tough game last week.

Still up at 1am? Then you can watch the Vikings and the Cowboys throw down until the wee hours.
Last week’s beating of the Patriots was a treat, so maybe them Boyz will figure out what it’s like to play teams with a good D.
Should be the best game of the bunch.

Join us Sunday at the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End to watch all the games and Redzone!

 

Gut Rot

by

Ryan Cull relates his DraftKings fantasy experience as a regular player.


WEEK 8 – Go With Your Gut 2 – Gut Rot!

Do you ever have one of those days when you think to yourself “This is a bad day to be a sports fan?” It all started when Wales, once again, couldn’t get over the hump and lost to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals. After the final whistle blew, a chill came through my body, as if all my fantasy hopes and dreams for this week immediately left my body.

I did my usual prep work, checking websites and watching YouTube videos of DFS advice, felt good about some of the bargains I got and was ready to put the rugby behind me. Then came the most depressing six hours of my life. If I could describe it by the hour it would go like this

JACKSONVILLE, FL – JANUARY 07: Fans hold up a sign before the start of the AFC Wild Card Playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field on January 7, 2018 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by Scott Halleran/Getty Images)

Hour 1 – Jump out to a few early touchdowns, feeling good. And I still have Rodgers to go. And with the Patriots D is like playing with a second quarterback, it’s money in the bank!

Hour 2 – Slowly watching me fall out of contention. A few of the Double Ups are in play, already a million points behind the first algorithm because it somehow knew every player that would score a TD. I wonder if the winner is actually from the future. One week in the future (Stop playing fantasy and go kill baby Hitler!).

Hour 3 – Starting to realise that having to depend on 2 Running Backs over 30, Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy, is not a winning strategy. Each one of them hasn’t even hit their age in points.

Hour 4 – I call this second bottle of wine time! None of my hot picks that I read online about have panned out. All the smart decisions are turning out to be dumb. This is where the five stages of grief kick in. However you experience them much faster.

Hour 5 – You’ve now accepted defeat. Not only have all my fantasy games gone to hell, I’m reading on twitter about how shit the Buffalo Bills are again. This train is never late and it almost always arrives around week 8.

Hour 6 – Fantasy football is stupid. At least I have a baby scan tomorrow so finally some good news! Or will it be, after this run of bad luck I’m starting to worry the Dr. is going to tell me my child is a Patriots fan. Imagine that! Time for my last tube. It was an absolute ass kicking but that’s what fantasy is right, a few moments of joy followed by weeks and weeks of terrible decisions and never ending regret.

You’re gonna have these weeks a few times a year. The good news is, that it’s usually followed by a great, hard earned victory. It’s Gut Check time!

Wade’s Week 8 Picks

by

You ready to win some money betting on the NFL?
Great!
Our man Wade is here to help with some of his tips to parlay this week if you are looking to make some serious cash!

Here are Wade’s top picks for a great week 8.

-13.5 LA Rams (4-3) vs Bengals (0-7)

Welcome to London, where public beatings were once coming practise, and looks like another one is in store this weekend. The forecast calls for sunny skies, which won’t do anything to help Andy Dalton and the struggling cats.
Goff will relentlessly torch their depleted secondary, hitting Woods, Cooks and Kupp for loads of points.
Loads of tickets still available for this stink show.

Eagles (3-4) vs -2 Bills (5-1)

The Bills are more surprised than anyone that they have a winning record like this. The Eagles had high hopes this season, but Carson Wentz is playing like garbage.
The Eagles will look to fly high in this one, as Buffalo probably won’t be prepared for a hungry team in need of a .500 record halfway through the season.
Eagles to upset.

Jets (1-5) vs -6 Jaguars (3-4)

It’s Darnold vs Minshew. A guy coming off of mono vs a guy who looks like he spreads it without consequence. Darnold will see less ghosts this week, as he looks to exorcize the demons from the Patriots. Jets will be fired up, and the Jags will be slow moving targets.
Jets will cover, and probably win.

-8 Seahawks (5-2) vs Falcons (1-6)

Matt Schaub is QB for the Falcons tonight. Wait, who? The guy who hasn’t played since 2005? Yep-that guy. He will struggle against a Seahawks team that is coming off an emotional loss last week. Look for Russell Wilson to rebound and punt-chucking the ball all over the field.
Seahawks to cruise comfortably.

If you wager $10 on this parlay-you should get odds of 13.6
So you will gross $136.00, for a net profit of $126!!
Easy money!

Week 8 Vodcast

by

It’s another big game in London, as the LA Rams look to feast upon the lowly Cincinnati Bengals.
Will they find another way to skin a cat?
Probably.

Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull break down the games in a lovely video of our podcast.

They chat about the London NFL games, the frustrations of Mitchell Trubisky, chicken wings, bbq, a new betting service called Bet Prophet, DraftKings, and much more.

NCAA Saturday

by


So you want to watch college football on Saturday, but where are you going to watch it?
In short-no where.
The UK isn’t big into college sports, and NCAA football would be the least likely thing on their agenda, but there are a few places that will show the games.
So we’re here to help.
There is a selection of games on BTSport/ ESPN- so if you are in a pub or hotel, you can always find the games on that channel (Sky 434).

Football

Football is Saturday in England, and you have zero chance of a pub turning on the game for ‘American Football.’
There is a 5:30 match between Burnley and Chelsea, so that is going to go on until 7:30.
You might be able to catch the 8:30 games at some places.

Princess Alexandra

Crouch End’s own sports bar will be showing college football as well as the ‘soccer.’
They will switch to both NCAA games after the conclusion of the Chelsea game.
Which match do you want to watch? Just talk to the bar & they can help you out.

https://princessalexandran8.co.uk

Bodean’s

This BBQ joint is usually packed at most of its Saturday locations. They will be showing football at most of the locations, but if you ask nicely-you might get them to switch it on.
Best chances for this would be the Soho, and Old Street locations.
You may not get sound on, so be prepared.
bodeansbbq.com

Belushi’s-London Bridge

This place traditionally shows NCAA football in a sporadic manner. Sometimes it’s on, sometimes not. They will generally book in large groups, so you might have trouble getting a table. It is always busy-so get there early if you want to get a table.
Not sure what games they will show.
www.belushis.com/bars/london/london-bridge

Hotel Bars

If you have a big group of people with you, and you’re staying in a hotel..try the bar!
Hotels love to take care of their guests, so they will go out of their way to accommodate.
As the concierge to set it up, and get them to switch to the BT Sport channels on Sky.
Good thing about hotels, is that their own bars will stay open late.
Enjoy the games!

Sunday NFL-unday!

by

Where are you watching the games on Sunday?
The clocks change, so you SHOULD be able to watch most of the NFL game son tap this Sunday, but where?
If you’re going to the game, lucky you. There are still loads of tickets available, so you can still go to the game if you use the right ticket resellers.
We recommend this Facebook group which has a legit record of tickets.
www.facebook.com/groups/nflfansukbuyandsell/

Princess Alexandra
Crouch End’s premier sports bar will be showing games until 1am. A 30 minute Uber from Wembley, this North London boozer has loads of tvs and all the games you need.
Traditional Sunday roasts, cask ales, wings, burgers, and 4 screens dedicated to NFL action.
Book a table in now so that its ready for you after the game.
princessalexandran8.co.uk

Wingman’s Chicken
Who wants chicken? We all do. But even if you’re a veggie, this joint has food for you as well.
This place has great food and cocktails, plus a few screens so that you can catch the games.
It’s located near Kilburn station, which is lickety-split close to Wembley.
Pop there before the game to tailgate inside, or head there after.
Closes at 10:30pm so you won’t catch the late games.
wingmans.co.uk

Roadtrip Bar
Head to Old Street for late night action at this rock’n’roll bar that shows NFL games.
Open late and close to all major transport, this hipster dive is a great place to catch games until the wee hours.
There may not be sound on-but if you ask the bar-they will probably turn off the music.
roadtripbar.com

Duck and Waffle
Hungry for 24 hour food in one of the coolest spots in the city?
Head up the tower to Duck and Waffle, an all night restaurant that overlooks all of London.
Great views, good food.
They won’t show NFL, but if you have a tablet just tap into Gamepass, a 24hr Skypass, or Reddit to stream a game at your table.
Definitely a good last stop to fill up your belly after a night of drinking.
duckandwaffle.com

The Palm Beach Casino
Want to watch the NFL in a 24 hour casino that oozes swank and sophistication?
Head to the Palm Beach Casino in Mayfair to indulge in a sexy night of football fun.
Loads of TVs, blackjack, poker, and an all night menu.
You might need to ask the manager to turn on the sound, and hats will need to be taken off inside.
Book a table ahead of time so it’s set up for your group for the night.
www.thepalmbeach.co.uk

Bar Italia
There won’t be any NFL on in this Soho bar, but it is a great place to people watch and sozzle back some nosh. It’s open 24 hours, so you can guarantee it’s a good place to set up as a meet up spot for your friends should you ever get lost in the city. Friendly staff, loads of characters.
baritaliasoho.co.uk

A few late night Sunday thoughts for your consideration.

  • London is not a 24 hr town, plan ahead. Download a tube map app, Uber (or other taxi), Citymapper, Buschecker & what3words.
  • Leicester Square is very busy and grimy. You probably won’t get in, and you might get pick pocketed.
  • Football rules. Premier League games start at 4:30pm, which means they end at 6:30pm. If you go to certain bars-they won’t switch the NFL on until after the match. Plan ahead.
  • If your table has a number on it, order from the bar. Table service is not like home.
  • The tube shuts around midnight at most stations. Late buses go 24 hrs. Download Citymapper so that you can plan your route home.
  • Watch yourself. Keep your eyes up, your phone in your pocket, and don’t take unlicensed taxis. Or rickshaws.
  • If you’re too drunk, go home. It’s bad for everyone.
  • Have fun, treat people nicely and enjoy. It’s a gorgeous city, and we’re glad you’re here!

London-This Weekend

by

Welcome to London NFL fans! Any plans on tap aside from the big game?
Well we have you covered with some extra fun stuff you can do this weekend prior to the LA Rams vs Cincinnati Bengals at Wembley stadium.

Whether it’s food, fun, drinks, laughs or sporting fun-let us help you out with the lowdown of fun.

Rugby World Cup

NFL rules the roost this Sunday, but it will be all eyes on the Rugby World Cup on Saturday morning as England face the beasts from the south-New Zealand.
The match kicks off at 9am on Saturday-so get yourself to a local London pub to watch it over Bloody Mary’s and breakfast sandwiches.
There’s more rugby on Sunday-as Wales take on South Africa in an epic match.
There will be loads of lovely Welsh folk out Sunday morning for this 9am kickoff.
Make a new Welsh friend and see if you can spell the name of the town their from!

Comic-Con

Hey you geeks! Love cosplay, comic books  & random celebrity stuff?
Then head on down to Comic-Con and get your Nerd-On!
Simon Pegg will be there, as well as a whole host of other celebrities you kind of might know.
Wear your NFL gear there and convince fans you play for the team.
There’s a pretty good chance none of them watch sports.
www.mcmcomiccon.com/london/

Country Music Week

Did you know that London has a huge country music fanbase? Or that every year it hosts C2C, the largest country music event in the country?
Boom!
There are oodles of venues across the city showcasing US and UK country artists.
Get into the spirit of it with great food, cold beer and lots of dancing.
Saddle up buckeroo, it’s getting country up in here!
c2c-countrytocountry.com/country-music-week/

Haunted Pub Crawl

It’s a drinking event…with ghosts!
Everyone loves to be paranoid when they’re drinking so get into the spirits.
There are loads of London tour companies offering this type of thing, so with Halloween approaching these are very popular.
Most tours are around 2-3 hours for a pub crawl (doesn’t include beer) and they are a fun way to meet new people, see the city and get pissed.
Here’s one to check out.
www.london-walking-tours.co.uk/the-haunted-london-pub-walk.htm

Football

Call it soccer to their faces. I dare you.
Get into the English spirit by watching Premier League games this weekend with a whole host of games being played.
Games generally start on Saturday at noon, with matches going on til about 7pm.
Sunday games start at 2pm and continue on til around 6:30pm.
If you plan on watching the NFL game in a pub…you probably won’t get to see it until at least half-time.
Pubs WILL NOT switch football over to NFL, they may not turn on the sound, and they will close early.
We will let you know what to do after the game Sunday.
Liverpool play Tottenham on Sunday at 4:30-so expect a busy one.
Also because Arsenal, West Ham, & Watford all play Sunday, getting home from the stadium will take a LONG TIME!
Plan ahead.

Phobophobia

Ready to have the crap scared out of you?
Then head to London Bridge and the vaults for Phobophobia, a collection of some of their scariest experiences.
With pulsating lights, holograms, zombies, and more monsters this is surely expected to scare the crap out of you.
It’s 16+ and if you’re epileptic-this will surely put you over the edge.
www.thelondonbridgeexperience.com

Day Light Saving Time

Damn farmers and their stupid rules.
The time change happens this Sunday at 2am, which means the clocks fall back an hour.
Sure you will get a bit more sleep, just don’t miss the game!
Normally NFL games start at 6pm in the UK, but this week they start at 5pm.
That gives you a bit (not much) more daylight.

That’s just the tip of the London iceberg.
Feel free to contact us about things you might want to do, and hopefully we can help you out!
Join us Sunday at the Princess Alex in Crouch End for loads of NFL fun.
Open late!
See you Sunday.
