Turkey Hangover

by

The gobble gobble is done for 2021, as the Thanksgiving slate of games are now leftovers, as we look ahead to week 12 in the NFL.

Wade McElwain and Ryan Cull are back with another exciting NFL preview podcast, as the boys digest their Turkey Hangover in this Week 12 preview.

Make sure you listen, laugh and love this new podcast episode.

Turkey Bowls

The Bears look aging and toothless as they fought off an equally inept Detroit Lions squad to get the first Thursday W.
This game was ugly on all fronts, as the only big winner of the night were penalties.
Matt Nagy holds onto his seat for another week.

‘Dem Boyz were lassoed by the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday, in a frustrating game for Dak and the home fans.
This OT thriller was not only a big win for the Raiders, but also the highest watched Thanksgiving NFL game in history.

Ryan was thrilled as his Bills made short work of a depleted New Orleans Saints team on Thursday night.
Buffalo were able to show the AFC who still could be boss, in a game where they lost one of their biggest D pieces for the season.

-3 Bucs (7-3) vs Colts (6-5)  +53

Everyone is in love with the Colts again after Jonathan Taylor boot stomped the Bills last week in an easy victory.
Given this massive performance, all the pundits are pushing Indy on Sunday to give Tampa a tough game.

Let’s not forget it’s TB12. He is a fear factor in every game, and moving ahead to the playoffs, the Bucs only look to get stronger.
Tommy and Bruce will look to make statement here, looking to shut down Taylor, and bury the Colts in points, so they’ll be forced to make throws.

Wade likes the Bucs here to make short work of the Colts, and show Indy for what they really are…a team lacking depth.

Ryan on the other hand is sniffing the Wentz, picking them to give Brady and the boys a tough contest en route to victory.

Ryan- Colts 33 Bucs 30
Wade- Bucs 30 Colts 23

-2 Falcons (4-6) vs Jags (2-8)

Matty Ice and the birds are coming off a TNF beat down at the hands of Bill Belichick and the Patriots, and will be looking to add a much needed win over this sad Jags squad.

Will Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville team be able to respond to keep this game close?

Ryan thinks that the Jaguars at home will be too much for this Atlanta team, especially since he has been clean from betting on Falcons teams for 3 weeks now.
He likes the Jags to upset the flow of Matt Ryan, and reward Urban Meyer with a home W.

Wade on the other hand thinks that Atlanta is too much for this putrid Jacksonville team.
While both teams have really bad D’s, the Falcons have a marginally better one.

Ryan- Jags 23 Falcons 20
Wade- Falcons 24 Jags 21

Steelers (5-4-1) vs -4 Bengals (6-4)  +45

Big bloated Ben struggled against the mighty Chargers last week, despite gooning for four fourth quarter touchdowns in a loss.
The Steelers D is finally getting some healthy bodies back this week, as TJ Watt looks to rejoin the Pittsburgh fold.

Cincy has struggled and Joe Burrow looks a former shell of himself from last season.
The Bengals have taken some bad losses, and Burrow showed weak form in some games, but should look to rebound in this divisional contest.

Ryan likes the heroics of Big Ben to lead the charge here, in a big win for Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Wade thinks this is a get right game for Cincinnati, and Mixon and the boys should have an easy victory against Pittsburgh.

Ryan- Steelers 30 Bengals 26
Wade- Bengals 27 Steelers 18 

That’s it for the picks this weeks Turkey Hangover podcast, make sure that you join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street and Clapham for our Sunday Funday spectacular.

Week 11 Thoughts

by

Another wicked and wild weekend of football has just passed, and this could be the strangest, coolest NFL season yet.

What the heck happened in week 11? What does this mean for the rest of the season? Can I finally play Ryan Fitzpatrick?
All of these and more in our Week 11 Thoughts.

It was a good week for Wade, who went 11-4 in his Week 11 picks.
Ryan still found some gold, but was only able to go 7-8 on the week.
Bears and Bills both lost, which helps you figure out where the guys went wrong.

Jonathan!

Jonathan Taylor has emerged as the true beast of the NFL running backs, after having another massive display.
Taylor smoked through the Bills defence with ease, making Buffalo look like a bunch of Sunday chumps.
Wentz continues to make bonehead plays, but with Taylor leading the charge, the Colts look playoff bound.

Houston Problems

Ryan Tannehill got whacked by a Texas sized problem on Sunday, as the Texans thoroughly choked out the top tier Tennessee Titans.
It was like watching one of those UFC stars stroll into a local bar, talk some trash, then get taken down by a local high school wrestler.
It was a bad beatdown.

The Titans struggled to impress by being a definitive AFC leader, losing to the worst team in the division only goes to show how out of whack the whole AFC is.

Chief Concerns

The Kansas City Chiefs continued to play the ‘we’re not dead’ tune again this week, as they were able to eek out a win against a stuttered Dak and company.

The Chiefs were once again led by their D, who play like every down depends on it, in a tough W over a tepid Cowboys team.

The world once again is heralding KC to return to the Super Bowl fold, forgetting just how trash-tastic they were in the first weeks of the season.

Super Scam

Cam Newton is back for short yardage plays in Carolina, as the Panthers just couldn’t usurp their nemesis Ron Rivera.

Having already beat cancer, Rivera wasn’t phased facing his former malignance in a defensive match up for the week.

Cam Newton has oodles of energy, but he still can’t hit the deep ball, which is going to affect their chances of going deep this season.

Fire Nagy

No subtext here, time to fire Nagy.

The Bears and Andy Dalton held a lead against Huntley and the Ravens on Sunday, only to get beat by a late time, garbage ball to allow them to score.

Chicago’s defence was horrible, and Andy Dalton was left in the lurch by the team.

At least the Eagles can show everyone how to win when you’re in your rebuilding years.

Totally Baked

Baker Mayfield seems like a shadow of his former self, as he struggled again on Sunday, this time against the Detroit Lions.

Despite being propped by being 13 point faves, the Browns were a total stinker against a Detroit team missing their starting QB.

It seems that the golden years of the Browns are over before the patina even showed signs of appearing.

Cleveland’s only hope next year is to trade for Aaron Rodgers.

Carr Crackers

Las Vegas is hurting this year after being ‘Gruden’d’, then grinded by injuries and accusations, as the Raiders season was over before it even began.

Like the Browns, the Raiders are at that point where they need to decide if the QB really fits.

Vegas might need to start looking ahead next year, trading Carr away to salvage the rest of the team. Is Carr the guy you want for the long haul?

Eagle-Eyed

The Eagles are playing some great football, with a multi-headed running attack, and a whip smart attack by the fleet footed Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia is easily showing everyone how to be a good team during your rebuilding years.

Philly has 3 FIRST ROUND picks in the 2022 draft.

Look out NFC East!

Nov News-1

by

November is here in the NFL, which means injuries, struggles and of course the big Thanksgiving games at the end of the month.

If you’re an NFL fan in the UK, November brings not only the end of the London games, but also the start of fireworks season.
Anyone with a dog knows what ghoulish hell Fireworks Night can be as a dog owner.

Of course the NFL keeps chugging along with incredible story lines, which we will touch on here in our Nov News 1.

Rugg Pulling

Henry Ruggs has had his NFL career and life of freedom curtailed this week, after killing someone while drunk driving.

Ruggs had left a Las Vegas TopGolf in the wee hours of the morning to hop in his flashy Corvette while intoxicated only to crash into another vehicle, killing one of the occupants.

This is just sad all around not only for the families who lost, but also for the promising career of a young man.

The Las Vegas Raiders were quick to release Ruggs, who will most likely never play in the NFL ever again now that he is facing two felony charges for the accident.

It doesn’t get any easier for this Vegas team.

Miller Time

The LA Rams just got a whole heck of a lot better after signing veteran Von Miller to their D.

Miller is a short-sighted beast on D, whose ageing presence will add much to the LA dynamic and pass rush ability.

Rumour has it that Miller wanted out of the Broncos because may of his team members had refused to contribute towards an annual Halloween party.

Miller has allegedly decided to host the party to help motivate the team after a series of losses, then became angry once his teammates refused to contribute financially.

What a petty way to lose an integral part of the team!

At least Von Miller will be able to party his way into the playoffs, something the Broncos won’t see for years.

Jets Down

Mike White the hero of the Jets?

It seems that way after the nobody White was able to lead his J-E-T-S to a crazy upset victory over the Bengals on Sunday.

Zach Wilson is failing to impress, as the Jets continue to suck on the tailpipe of the NFL for another season.

How about this bettor who thought Mike White would lead the league in Week 8?

Nice bet!

OBJ Sr

Odell Beckham Jr’s daddy is mad at Baker, and drama ensues.

Baker and the Browns have been more like Turd Ferguson’s this year than anything else, as Mayfield struggles every week to check the ball down field.

Beckham Sr finally had enough this week, throwing blades that Baker was ruining his sons career.

Beckham’s career has been ‘ok’, although you still get the feeling he is living off of that one amazing catch a decade ago.

OBJ probably has another good couple years to go, just not with the Browns.

Aaron Wick

Ego puffing Aaron Rodgers continues to let everyone know it’s ‘his year’, and to ‘look at me’, despite not having held a trophy in over a decade.

Rodgers revealed this week that the reason he had been growing his hair long for the past 7 months, was for his Halloween costume!

The guy can’t commit to his team or a fiancee, but he he has the dedication to prepare his fancy dress outfit way ahead of other priorities.

Class act all the way! 

DeSean Nothing

Veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson had enough with the winning ways of the LA Rams, and wanted out.

With all the passes going the way of Kupp and Woods, Jackson decided he would test his market strength by demanding a trade away from the Super Bowl contender Rams.

It didn’t work out so well for DeSean, as no team has come to his rescue, and it looks like he will sit out the rest of the season.

If you’re going to call someone’s bluff, make sure you have a good hand.
