Chad & Brandon

by

Chad Johnson and Brandon Marshall are some of the most chatty and captivating NFL players who switched to punditry, so we’re proud to share this video of Chad & Brandon.
While both of these two men are known for some of their heroics on the field,  what comes out of their mouthes has also made these guys interesting.
So when Chad and Brandon both come together for a chat, along with fellow former players Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder for the ‘I Am Athlete’ YouTube series.

Have a listen to this, as these ‘older’ guys talk about the league today, as well as all of the social elements that new players have to deal with.

It’s no secret that Chad and Brandon are very smart cookies, and this comes through in the video, as the guys talk about some hilarious topics with great comedic timing.

This is the perfect video to get you though the cold of Covid. The guys explaining what ‘douching’ in will probably knock you off of you seat.

Truly hilarious.

Wade’s Week 8

by

And just like that, we’re halfway through the 2020 NFL season, which has to be the oddest ones that I can remember. A deadly virus, crippling injuries, and some terribly crap-tastic coaching have all featured in an NFL season brought to you by Covid-19 .
Our thoughts go out to everyone in the sports and hospitality industries who are facing ruin thanks to this ‘new normal’. Hopefully we can all be out in a bar or pub soon, cheering on our favourite NFL teams.

To help all you NFL fans out I have another round of my top picks and upsets, in ‘Wade’s Week 8’, I outline the top value you can get from looking at the lines and over/unders for this week.
Over the past 5 weeks, my upset record is 17-2, so hopefully you have been making some cash off of my NFL insight.
Or maybe you’re just ignoring me and hoping I make you food, like my kid does.
Here are some of the top picks for Week 8.

Vikings (1-5) vs Packers (5-1)
Packers -7  +54.5

Aaron Rodgers and co. have been playing fantastic football all season. However like every team, the Packers are not immune to injury. This was evident when the Packers face the Bucs and lost Bahktiari early in the game. As soon as they did, the Bucs D swarmed all over them. Bahktari is questionable for Sunday, which should give the Vikings more opportunities.
The Vikings have only won 1 game, but have put up buckets of points in most games.
Justin Jefferson has been a speedy God send, and he should factor in on Sunday against a Packers team who is weak against speedy receivers.
This game means more to the Vikings than the Packers if they hope to stem the downfall of the team this season.
Vikings to cover.
Packers 31 Vikings 25

LA Rams (5-2) vs Dolphins (3-3)
Rams -3.5  +46

It’s Tua time, as Flores ditches the popular Fitzpatick to give the young rookie a chance. The Rams have started to find their momentum, as their D is making it very hard for opposing quarterbacks.
It’s always hard to prepare for a QB you have never seen, as there is no game tape or footage to help you figure out his weaknesses.
Miami has had a hot hand under Fitzy, with the team playing with joy, as they take over second place in the AFC East.
Make no mistake, these Dolphins are no joke, as proven by their beating of the 49ers a few weeks ago.
Dolphins are at home, and they will be playing for a win, and they’ll get it.
Dolphins win.
Miami 24 Rams 23

LA Chargers (2-4) vs Broncos (2-4)
Chargers -3  +44

Always bet on injuries. It’s a formula that I have used in my NFL betting career. And boy do the Chargers have a lot of injuries. Their whole O-line is pretty much pooched, leaving rookie Justin Herbert a target on every play.
Despite sucking this year, the Broncos have a fast & furious defence that choked Mahomes down for 3 sacks last week. And that was against a healthy Chiefs, imagine what they will do this week.
Originally, I was in favour of Herbert having a lovely game, but seeing how many lineman he is missing, I am opting for the Broncos in this divisional match. Heck they might even win outright.

Chargers 26 Broncos 24

These are just the big upsets that I see for this week, as there are certain games that I really don’t want to touch. Call it Halloween superstition, but there are too many X Factors in some of these games.
Including:

Titans (-6) vs Bengals
The Bengals are hurting, but they can also strike back like a cobra. We have seen in past weeks hot to stop and hit the Titans, but the Bengals lack the equipment to pull this off. I can see the Bengals covering in this one.
Titans 30 Bengals 26

Steelers vs Ravens (-3.5)
The Ravens benefit from a bye week, which means that they should be fully prepped, especially after their recent slate of additions. The Steelers are the only team with a perfect record, which can be an addiction to chase. But they will be chasing the Ravens all day.
Ravens 31 Steelers 26

Overs

Overs have been huge this season, as the lack of fans seems to have had an impact on gameplay. There are a few games that I think could be perfect for overs this week, including:

  • Colts vs Lions +50
  • Vikings vs Packers +54.5
  • Raiders vs Browns +54

NFL-PGA Sunday

by

Holy crap! Live sports is back, & we can watch it live in the UK! Take a breath, what I’m about to tell you is awesome. Tom Brady & Tiger Woods vs Peyton Manning & Phil Mickelson in an 18 hole, 3 hour fiesta of golf & banter.

The Game

Even if you’re not a golf fan this game features two NFL legends who will be talking & competing for 3 hours of live golf fun.

Tee off is scheduled for 8pm GMT & should continue until 11pm. Sky sports will most likely air this, & other streaming apps will also air it. Alas Gamepass doesn’t have the rights.

The first 9 holes are a best 4 ball play, so our NFL stars will most likely be watching & contributing.

The next 9 holes will be a mixed bag of crazy golf type holes where they compete in challenges for charity.

The Teams

Golf legend Tiger Woods is teamed with NFL poster boy Tom Brady in a champion level team that makes you swoon just by saying their names together.

Their opponents are lefty legend Phil Mickelson with horse faced goof Peyton Manning, who both boast accuracy in their respective statistics.

Pey-Mann are favoured over TB Tiger 12 in this contest, as Brady is the most inferior golfer in this match. Vegas has this as an easy win.

2020 Draft Review

by

Well that’s a new way of drafting. How about that 2020 NFL Draft?
The world has certainly changed, & the NFL adapted and overcame with one heck of a draft, with a massive audience and a very entertaining Roger Goodell.

Wade & Ryan come together for a safe-distanced podcast to discuss all of the NFL Draft thoughts, as well as looking at some of the top stories in the NFL.
They also look at the other big news in the NFL UK at the moment, including:

NFL 2020 London Games

Who are we kidding? These games aren’t going to happen, and it’s only a matter of time that this will be officially announced. While the NFL is aiming for a 17 game season, it reckons that London will only be a troublesome problem to include in the new world of NFL.
Will the NFL come back to Europe after this whole Corona experience?
Sports viewing will never be the same.

Aaron Rogers

And the Packers select…Jordan Love. Aaron spills his drink, smashes the TV, and calls his agent. What will happen in Green Bay now that they grabbed the young Utah stud? Fast, big arm, and ready for a chance. If Rodgers gets hurt again this season, Love could quickly jump up to number one, as Aaron would look to other NFL pastures.

Denver Broncos

They are really loading up the WRs and RBs in Denver, but will Drew Lock be the answer? The Broncos stuffed a lot of tough teams last year, but could never really find their groove. What will it take to put it all together?
