SuperBowl Germany

by

Wo siehst du das superbowl deutschland?
The NFL is HUGE in Germany, and we love interacting and engaging with our German fans every time that they come over to the UK.

We are planning some German events in 2020, so we wanted to hit the ground running first and find out where the best places to watch the NFL are in Germany.
So we have to ask….
Where do our German friends go to watch the game?

Games are generally 5 hours ahead of America, which means that German NFL fans don’t get to watch the games for at least 6 hours late.
Traditional bars aren’t usually open that late on a Sunday (are they?), so casinos and pop-ups must be the place to go.

If any of our German fans want to share where they celebrate the NFL, we will share it with everyone!

We have seen listings for some venues showing the SuperBowl on Feb 2nd, but do you have any venues where you can watch it every week?

Look forward to hearing from all of you!

Frank ‘F%C#Kin’ Clark

by

You gotta love Frank Clark. He gives 100% when he plays, and zero F#cks when the cameras are on him.

Luckily the smart folks at NBC had the ‘beep’ button ready, because they knew that Clark would go off on one of his many rants.  This is one of those times.

Clark went off on how the Chiefs were able to handle Derek Henry, who was only able to gain 68 yards on the day, when he had gashed for 377 yards the previous two games.

Clark didn’t let loose, dropping 8 words that needed to be bleeped.

He still rates the Chiefs D as the ‘best in the world’, but he will have to see for sure when they play the 49ers on Feb 2nd.

NFL Player Trivia

by

How much do you know about the NFL?
Would you consider yourself a genius of the gridiron, or a straight up novice?
What is your QB IQ really like?

We have created a fun quiz for you to test your knowledge of NFL Players.
You need to be able to correctly identify the players in the quiz to get full points.
Can you get 25/25?

Some of these pictures are pretty tricky, so you will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the players of old to be able to successfully get perfect on this quiz.
Answers for the quiz are at the bottom of this page.

Here are some of the top players we think of when we think of NFL GOATS.

Jim Brown

Jim Brown was an unstoppable beast. Not only did he crush everyone he ran into during the late 50s and 60s, he was also a badass mofo. Brown was intimidating on the field, as his running power was so strong, NFL weaklings of the era struggled to contain him.
Brown would be nightmare for the League this days, as he was always vocal about the calamity of events that were happening around him.
Whether it was segregation, the Vietnam War, or economic disparity-Brown always had an opinion.
Heck of an athlete and not a bad actor as well!

Walter Payton

‘Sweetness’ was not only one of the toughest, most fluid runners in the NFL, he was also a remarkably humble man as well. Payton was an iconic Bear, who was nearly unstoppable on the field. Despite the fact that he could easily rush a 100 yard game every week, he didn’t trash talk, didn’t gloat, didn’t rub success in others faces. A truly class act.

Joe Montana

Could there be a more iconic QB that Montana? He won so many awards, that many are now named after him. One of the most solid QBs in the SuperBowl, he was nearly perfect in several big games, and was a terror in the fourth quarter. If you have never watched any of his games, go back and watch them!

Barry Sanders

Another RB who could be considered the ‘classiest’ guy in the NFL. Sanders played with a quiet intensity that was terrifying. He could easily gash oppositions for tonnes of yards, yet he too has one of the most humble players on the planet. He retired before than he really had to, and when Barry talked, the world listened. Always tough to try to make a career in Detroit, but he never turned his back on the city, and gave them everything he had.

Make sure you come and join us for our SuperBowl Party at Long Acre Sun Feb 2nd.
We will have a quiz prior to the big game.

Good luck on the quiz.

Now here are the answers:

  1. Mean Joe Greene
  2. Jim Brown
  3. Reggie White
  4. Roger Staubach
  5. Ed Reed
  6. Junior Seau
  7. Merlin Olsen
  8. Lawrence Taylor
  9. Rickey Jackson
  10. Anthony Munoz
  11. Curly Lambeau
  12. Larry Csonka
  13. Steve Largent
  14. Fred Taylor
  15. Jerry Rice
  16. Lyle Alzado
  17. Warren Moon
  18. Barry Sanders
  19. Joe Namath
  20. Shannon Sharpe
  21. Bruce Smith
  22. Johnny Unitas
  23. Len Dawson
  24. Fran Tarkenton
  25. Darrell Green

 

Conference Championships

by

And then there were 4. Where are you watching the big games on Sunday?
Why not join us at Long Acre in central London to watch all the games until the wee hours.

Most places in London will NOT show these games, as it is a Sunday night.
Long Acre will be blasting the games across all the TVs with sound.

Head down to Central London so you can watch all the games.

See you Sunday.

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!

Conference Preview

by

And then there were 4. 28 teams are eliminated, and now we have the Titans vs Chiefs & the Packers ve 49ers…so who wins?

Wade & Ryan break down the Divisional Championship games, the look ahead to the games this weekend. Who do you have?

Titans (11-7) vs -7 Chiefs (13-4) + 53

The Titans have blasted their way through the playoffs on the legs of Derek Henry, while the Chiefs have obliterated teams with their offence.
If the Chiefs build a lead can Ryan Tanehil make a comeback?
Doubtful.
If Chris Carson is back, the Titans will have an uphill battle.
Both Wade & Ryan see the Chiefs through to the SuperBowl.
Chiefs WIN

Packers (14-3) vs -7.5 49ers (14-3)

The last time these two teams face off in week 12, it was an ugly game. The 49ers smoked the Pack 38-7 & shut down their whole running game. They also chased Rodgers across the field the whole day.
While the Pack have shored up their O Line, San Fran has a healthy D ready to pummel A Ron in every way.
Both Wade & Ryan see the Packers seeing close, but the 49ers should win this one.
Packers COVER.

Make your bets on Betway this week, plus make sure you join our DraftKings League.

See you Sunday at Long Acre. Super Bowl tickets on sale this weekend.

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.

Divisional Podcast

The Bills are out, and Ryan is sad.

DraftKings has another wicked weekend ahead of games. Join our League that you can play for yourself.

To summarise some of our thoughts on the Wildcard Weekend in the NFL.

Bills vs Texans

Way to blow it Buffalo, your second half collapsed quicker than a homemade horse costume.
The Texans were good, but not great in disposing of a fast starting Bills team. Texans are in for a humbling vs the Chiefs this weekend.

Titans vs Patriots

Are the Patriots finally dead, or was it another off year? The Titans ran all over the Pats, and their vaunted D could barely stop the fast moving Henry. The Titans have to face the Ravens now, so enjoy your playoffs while they lasted.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles were finally showed the door to their place in the league this season. Wentz was hurt early, but it wouldn’t have mattered against the Seahawks team that is gaining confidence as it rises. Wade likes them a lot next Sunday.
