Week 2 Preview

by

Week 2 is here as we all move on from the uneven shakes of the opening week.

Wade and Ryan had respectable betting weeks despite some crazy games, and this week they off you some of their big game advice to help you make your betting or fantasy picks in this Week 2 Preview podcast.

The guys offer up their break down on every game, as well as offer some betting tips, game insight and some DFS options.
Make sure you listen to the whole thing to absorb all the nuggets of gold.

Among some of the big games the guys discuss in this episode includes:

Saints (1-0) -3.5 vs Panthers (1-0)  +44.5

New Orleans is still shaking after an epic beat down of the Packers last week, so you wonder if they’re going to be fully honed after an epic upset.
Carolina shook of the ghosts of Week 1’s past to rally past the hapless Jets in a much needed W for the return of C Mc.

Ryan likes the Saints to continue their winning ways here, as he likes Jameis and the boys to get it done on the Panthers.

Wade however thinks that Carolina isn’t done upsetting people, and this home game will propel them to 2-0 with a cheeky upset against the Saints.

Prediction:

Ryan- Saints 27-20
Wade- Panthers 31 Saints 26

Bills (0-1) -3.5 vs Dolphins (1-0)  +42.5

Buffalo got stunned last week like the whole city ate a suicide wing at once. Pittsburgh shut down the blue machine from upstate New York, and made their case for leading the AFC.

Miami got the job done against BB and the Patriots, doing what other teams in the AFC East call ‘God’s work’.

Ryan likes his Bills to regain some ‘justice’ here, with a solid win over the Miami Dolphins, and a chance to get back in the division race.

Wade however likes the Dolphins to continue their September winning ways at home. Hurricane season blows in hard, taking out autumn visitors with abandon. He likes the fish at home to challenge the Bills and their lack of running game.
He thinks the Bills will win, just not cover.

Prediction:

Ryan-Bills 31 Dolphins 24
Wade-Bills 24 Dolphins 23

49ers (1-0) -3 vs Eagles (1-0)  +50

Points a plenty in this game, as both teams are coming off victories at the hands of inferior opponents.

San Fran is once again leaking running backs, in a troubling sign early on in the season. Jimmy G is still holding court, but the Lance of Trey is only a heartbeat away from piercing his long term plans.

Jalen is the man in Philly, and is finally showing that this is his team. With the addition of speedy youngsters, and new D, the Eagles look to fly this year, if they can stay healthy.

Wade is big on the Eagles this week, and Ryan has joined the flock in believing that they can flip the cart on San Fran this week.

Loads of fantasy points in this game, so make your picks carefully!

Prediction:

Ryan-Eagles 27 49ers-25
Wade-Eagles 31 49ers-27

Raiders (1-0) vs Steelers (1-0) -6  +47

The Raiders and Steelers both were able to take their underdog titles to victory in Week 1, in a surprise to many pundits of the NFL.

Las Vegas used their home advantage to shock the Ravens core, giving Carr plenty of chances to spread the love. Key injuries might have gone too far in helping this week however.

Pittsburgh beat the darling Bills last week, and showed the world how tough and ready their D is this season. Can they go 11-0 to start the season again this year?

Ryan is backing the Raiders once again, thinking that the Steeler team that dispatched his Bills so easily will finally face their match. He doesn’t think that the Raiders will win, but just cover.

Wade thinks that the Steelers will roll on, taking advantage of the injury to RB Josh Jacobs, and punishing Carr with their relentless D.

Prediction:

Ryan-Steelers 24 Raiders 21
Wade-Steelers 30 Raiders 23

Make sure you listen to the whole podcast to get all the tips!
Listen, laugh, share, repeat.

Join us Week 2 at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, where we will be showing plenty of games.

We also have our DraftKings League, where you can win tickets to the battle of Florida at Tottenham next week!

Week 2 London

by

Week 1 is done and dusted, and what a crazy week that was.

From an insane Bucs demolition of the Cowboys, to the Packers cheesing it up, and the Falcons getting battered…again…it’s nice to have the NFL back.

With another set of games on the way, we wanted to let you know some places in the city to watch Week 2 London.

Old Street

The Sports Bar and Grill Old Street is one of the most amazing sports bars in the city.

With over 40+ TVs, booths with their own TVs, pool tables, and NFL in every corner, you can’t go wrong with the Sports Bar Old Street.

Located directly across from the tube station, this newly renovated pub smells and looks great. (something you don’t get from most sports bars!)

Better still, the SB&G Old Street is open until 12:30am Sunday night, allowing you to watch the second set of games, finish your drinks, and not feel to be rushed out the door.

Our team will be there for Week 2, running a few DraftKings contests if you feel like playing along.
Make sure you’re there for week 3, as we are giving away 2 tickets to Dolphins vs Jaguars to our contest winner.

Best of all, Old Street is one of the biggest rail hubs in the city.
It’s well served by the tube, national rail and stops north and south of the city until midnight.

The pub offers Sky Sports, Redzone and Gamepass.

Just click here and you’re ready to roll.

Clapham

If you’re in south London, why not pop into the Sports Bar & Grill Clapham?

Located right off the high street, this lovely sports bar is full of 30+ TVs, great food, and close to one of the most hopping high streets in London.

The Sports Bar & Grill Clapham is proud to promote the NFL every Sunday, and their hospitable staff will do what they can to make sure that you can watch the game you want, paired with great food and drink.

The SB&G Clapham is open until 11pm, which means that you can watch the first set of games and part of the next set, but sadly they will not show the 9pm games in their entirety.

South London is your next NFL destination, make sure that you get in touch so that you can book  table for Sunday.

https://www.sportsbarandgrill.co.uk/clapham/party-booking

The pub offers Sky Sports, Redzone and Gamepass.

Crouch End

Although there is no tube station in Crouch End, it’s very close to many transport links to central London and beyond.

The Princess Alexandra Pub is a lovely little boozer that has plenty of TVs and great burgers, wings and beer.

Close to Finsbury Park station, as well as Hornsey rail station and the W7 bus, visitors to the Alex can be at Kings Cross station in less than 20 minutes.

The pub is also VERY close to Tottenham Hotspur stadium, which means it’s a great place to party before the games and after.
It’s a 15 minute bus ride on the W3 direct to the stadium, so you can be in the pub in no time after the game.

Let us know if you want us to book you a table at the Princess Alex for a Sunday!

It’s a very celeb neighbourhood, so you never know who might be watching the games with you!

That’s it this week for NFL pubs we can recommend.

Sadly, too many places don’t actually care about NFL fans, and won’t even start the games until AFTER the 4:30pm Premier League game is over.

Other venues might show it one week, then forget the next…or a new manager might just decide to cancel showing it.
One thing you won’t find in the UK, is NFL consistency!

The pubs we listed above, are the best places in London to catch the games.

See you Sunday!

 

Hey Fantasy!

by

With the NFL officially less than a week away, fans will be assembling their fantasy teams for the 2021 football season.

To celebrate this annual last rite of summer, we offer you our ‘Hey Fantasy’ podcast, a look at some of the biggest fantasy news, picks and avoids for this year.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull flip through all the fancy NFL magazines from across the pond to compile their basic knowledge to offer you top tips for your draft, what to look at at each position selecting, as well as some basic draft psychology.

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

Strategy

Where you pick in the draft reflects the kinds of choices that you will need to make to be successful in this years’ draft.

Choosing early will get you those tempting top picks, but you’ll have to wait until it swings around again until you get 2 more picks.
Given that you will be picking in chunks, you need to adjust your picks so that you are still able to get top talent, but also to grab enough RBs and WRs to fill out a solid roster.

Middle picking in the draft seems like it would suck, but you actually get to a choice of players at a fast and furious pace.
Being mid-pick in the draft means that you really need to pay attention.
You can get really good value in the middle, as you can make those bold picks while carving away at the desperation of folks on the end who have to make two quick picks in a row.

Draft Dunces

There is always going to be that person who takes WAY too long to draft their team.
You COULD tell them that the draft is on another day, and that they ‘missed’ your draft do to some scheduling snafu (you need the other draftees in on it), but that’s a poor way to start out the season.

When it comes to Draft deadbeats, you need to be clear as to the outcomes.
2 minutes is more than generous these days for a player window thanks to digital drafting.
If it takes a person more than 2 minutes to make their pick, you are more than free to put up penalties and deductions for delating the draft.

Unless this person absolutely slaughters everyone in your draft, they shouldn’t be taking that long to hump down a roster.
Give them the parameters ahead of time, and make it get all nervy with 30 seconds left to pick.

Bad drafters are like bad dogs, you have to get that behaviour out before the draft even starts.

Flee Agents

Cam Newton couldn’t learn a playbook?
Maybe his big ass hat was in the way?

With Cam now looking to ride the season long bench, there are plenty of opportunities for teams to snag some value players moving forward.

AP, Mitchell Schwartz, Geno Atkins, Le’Veon Bell, Todd Gurley and the gales Frank Gore are all now without an NFL home for this season.

Sure, some of these guys are old, but with the way injuries gut-punched the league last year, it’s safe to say that a lot of these guys will be back in a new uniform at some point this season.

Cam? Might be a hard stretch to get behind him as a starter.

Empire Fantasy Football League

Why is it so hard to find good , season long, fantasy football?

Well the team at Empire Fantasy Football League are here, and they have a fun new product to help you play season long NFL.
