National Football League in London
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.
It’s the final week of the NFL, as we all head to the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End for a great night of NFL action.
As it is the last game of the season, all attention will be on the games with playoff explanations.

Here are his nominations for the half-way awards.
An awards season for being almost there.
No one has dominated the NFL and fantasy like Christian McCaffrey. When you see him line up against you during a matchup you might as well go to IKEA because there’s no point watching football this week. With over 800 yards, 10 TD’s and 40 rec he’s on his way to a LaDanian Tomlinson type season. There hasn’t been a white running back producing like this since John Riggins. If he can do it then maybe one day, a white guy can win the 100m in the Olympics.
The one good thing about living in the UK is that I wasn’t forced to sit through Baker Mayfield commercials all off-season. They are just as awful as the Go Compere Guy I bet. Freddie Kitchens aside, Baker has been a turnover machine, quick tempered with the media, and not getting the ball to Odell. And we all know that a productive Odell is a happy Odell. If Baker doesn’t pick it up in the second half there’s going to be more drama in Cleveland then a Logan Roy Family Thanksgiving.
Member the Daniel Jones hype! I member! That was a fun time, when he was the second coming of Brady and the sure fire ROY. Now having regressed almost weekly, he has opened the door for the most consistent rookie Josh Jacobs. Now 7th in the NFL in rushing with 6 TDS, Josh Jacobs makes Jon Gruden look like a genius, and he needs it after the Clelin Ferrell pick which is looking like a disaster. Jacobs has kept the Raiders relevant in a season where everyone expected them to fall on their face. After the AB debacle and keeping the Raiders at 4-4, maybe Gruden hasn’t lost it!
We will witness another shift in fantasy football next year and it will involve whether you draft Lamar Jackson number 1 overall. It’s now an official debate. A QB who can also run for 1,000 yards is like having a RB who throws 20 TDs. (Now that’s the future of the NFL!) Either way, we should all enjoy Lamar while we can because that reckless playing has never worked long term. But then again, we say Brady can’t keep doing it and look at him! Look at your master and bow down to him!……shit, sorry that was weird. The computer started typing on its own. Let’s move on.
Best Moustache (Or known as the Canadian Mullet) – Gardner Minshew
First Coach Fired Award – Dan Quinn – sorry Mr. Clean, it’s time to get your stain off the Falcons
Biggest Disappointment – The AFC – Get it together guys, it’s embarrassing out there. You are like the East in the NBA. Unwatchable.

Easy peasy.
Why not collect the ‘broken quarterbacks’ jerseys?
Throw on a Mahomes, try on a little Foles, or just buy a Trubisky so that people can feel sorry for you wherever you go.
Or why not buy an Antonio Brown jersey from every team? That should work!
It’s halfway through the season, so it’s time to get ready for having a B team!
See you Sunday!
This might be the last article I ever get to write for NFL in London because – WARNING – I’m going to say some nice things about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. I assume many of you will know that Wade, the boss of this here domain, is a huge Chicago Bears fan. Therefore I am walking on eggshells at best by setting out my stall here and saying I’m going to be positive about the Cheeseheads from Wisconsin… but stick with me.
Sunday Night’s win over the Chiefs wasn’t perfect from the Packers’ perspective, but perhaps that’s what made it all the more impressive. The Chiefs often maligned defense was able to pressure and worry Rodgers, and the usually assured scrambler was hit and sacked at a significantly higher rate than the norm, suggesting the Packers’ O-Line protection needs a little bit of work done to it. But Rodgers was able to use his backfield weapons to great effect. Aaron Jones (I love you) & Jamaal Williams (I don’t love you, STOP taking fantasy points away from my Aaron) both found the endzone twice, and ensured that the team bereft of it’s one truly elite receiver – Davante Adams – still managed to score 31 points in one of the NFL’s most intimidating “home field advantage” stadiums. Jones, especially, is a true livewire, as exhibited on his two huge plays in Arrowhead. The pace he showed to break away from the Chiefs’ secondary will terrify most defenses around the league, and when you have Aaron Rodgers making INSANE plays – like the “heave and hope,” over the shoulder pass to Williams in the very back corner of the endzone – you always have more than a chance.
Rodgers has only one black mark on his surefire Hall of Fame resume. He’s only got one title. ONE. Playing for Titletown. The 2010 run to Super Bowl XLV against the Steelers was fairly magical, with the Packers winning 3 road games against the Eagles, the Falcons and the (sorry Wade) aforementioned Bears, en route to the Lombardi Trophy. But that’s been it. Not just one title. One Super Bowl APPEARANCE for Rodgers. Yep. It’s amazing. Admittedly, he’s not always had the best pieces around him, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but the closest he’s come to glory since 2010 is getting blown out in the NFC Championship game in 2016 by Atlanta. Yes, he’s a two-time League MVP, but only having one Super Bowl win, when you’re considered by SOME to be the greatest Quarterback of all time… It doesn’t quite feel right.
On the other hand, there’s another guy out there who is widely considered the GOAT, who seems to be blazing his annual trail straight back to the Super Bowl in his search for his SEVENTH Championship and the destruction of the planet as we know it. Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr & The New England Patriots. Brady’s run is almost the antithesis of Rodgers’. Brady has usually been supported by a solid team, whilst Rodgers has often had to make more than the sum of the parts around him. Brady can also be glad for the elite coaching staff he’s always had alongside him, and therefore the ability to be good enough in the regular season to almost guarantee home field advantage for his yearly hunt for gold. Since 2008, Brady has played in just THREE true road playoff games. Interestingly, he has a 1-2 record in those games, with the only win being that travesty against the Chiefs last year. And before I hear ONE COMPLAINT from Patriots’ fans, that pre-snap penalty saved you and was an absolute travesty. Ugh. So he’s actually beatable if you can drag him away from Foxborough. He’s just too good to let that happen often. Ugh again. Anyway, basically Brady hasn’t even had to be that good this year so far because the Patriots defense is absolutely mauling all teams unlucky enough to be put in front of them. Seriously, “lambs to the slaughter” comes to mind every time I watch a team try to score against them. But the point is, Brady is rolling towards another AFC Championship game, without really breaking much of a sweat.
But IF the Patriots make it to the big one again this year… could it be Rodgers waiting for him? The NFC is seemingly stacked with very viable teams, but Green Bay – who for once have a defense to support Rodgers – could be the one. We’ve only ever seen Rodgers vs Brady twice (1 win each for the record, don’t all great things come in threes?!), but wouldn’t it be poetic to see these two face off for the biggest prize in North America? There would be a LOT of conflicted people who wouldn’t know who to cheer for… but it might just end up being that way. What a spectacle it would be. Maybe Brady vs Rodgers on the biggest stage in American sports is what we truly deserve… Or worse… maybe it’s what we all secretly want.

What a wild & wacky week in the NFL!
Tom Brady and the Patriots continue to crush through the opposition with ease-but who have they really faced?
The Bears continue to struggle and the lynch mob is out for Mitchell Trubisky. Can that D hold on forever?
The Bengals & Dolphins continue to slide, will they win a game finally?
Wade & Ryan break down all of the games, plus they preview the Thursday night match up between the Redskins vs Vikings, as well as talk about the upcoming London match between the Rams & Bengals.
Subscribe-listen, laugh-love, Karen.
Who wins in Week 7 of the NFL?
Where has this season gone so quickly?

Another exciting week in the NFL, with another great game in London.
Sure, the Bucs barely showed up-& when they did they made more turnovers than a Gregg’s bakery-but it was a good game.
In this podcast Wade & Ryan review all of the games, and Ryan apologises for missing the podcast last week as he was in a ‘drunken haze for a week.’
Wade hits another successful week of betting, going 11-4 for Week 6 and pushing him further up the ranks of fantasy-land.
Have you taken any of his picks to make money each week?
You should-he has been crushing it in fantasy all season long!
What a week in the NFL!
Holy cow there were a lot of touchdowns across the League this week.
There were some teams who managed to make it look easy, and others who seemed to slip further down the slump.
LA Rams vs Seahawks
A total of 59 points dumped in this game, including Jared Goff who was dropped a lot. Russell Wilson found magic to get the win!
Panthers vs Jaguars
Is there anything that Christian Mccaffrey can’t do? Seriously. Because the Panthers seem to beat him down on every play. Don’t get injured! 51 pts scored in this beating.
Falcons vs Texans
Deshaun Watson is tearing up the league, and other teams. Wowza, he really lit up Matt Ryan and the Falcons in a Sunday Crumbday. 85 points in this bloodbath that will have Atlanta reaching for their security blanket.
Bears vs Raiders
No, you shut up. Tough game to watch, especially for people in London.
Packers vs Cowboys
Yee-ha! What a rodeo for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, who rolled right over the stinky Cowboys. Get paid Dak!
See you this Sunday.
It’s already week 4 in the NFL, and we can identify some of the teams that are in trouble.
You know how some taxi’s have that orange light on the back that prompts you to call the police if you see the light on? That’s how bad some of these teams are.
While the NFL was talking of investigating the Miami Dolphins for tanking the season, some other teams look like they couldn’t even compete in the NCAA.
Are the Redskins worse than the Dolphins? How low can the Broncos go?
Should the Broncos have a fire sale to get rid of Andy Dalton and AJ Green?
It might give them a chance to win a ring with another team.
Here are some funny cartoons to help take your mind off all of the NFL pain.
It’s only week 4-but some teams might be able to go 0-16. Or ‘whoa and 16’ depending on how the fans feel.
