Oakland Raiders

Week 6 Review

by

The final London NFL game is done and dusted, as we big a fond farewell to week 6 in the NFL.

It was an epic matchup between the Dolphins and Jaguars at Tottenham on Sunday, with Urban Meyer able to slow grind out a ‘W’ to save his job.

Ryan Cull is off to Canada, as Wade is joined by our pal Callum Squires, in this Week 6 Review Podcast.

Among some of the things that the guys chat about in this podcast includes;

London Games

Callum breaks down what the atmosphere was like at Tottenham Stadium, and what it felt like to watch his Dolphins collapse against the feeble Jags.
He also talks beer snakes, the rain of plastic cups, and what it’s like to party around Tottenham stadium.
Did you go to the game? How was your experience?

Chief Concern

Kansas City was able to eek out a win against the struggling Washington FT over the weekend, but there are still major concerns over their team, and in particular their D.
Patrick Mahomes was able to sneak out a win, but Kansas City did not look pretty in doing so. This team is going to struggle when they face some of the better teams in the league.

Viking Fun-eral

What’s going on in Minnesota?
You can’t trust the team to win, and you can’t trust the team to lose!
The Vikings are inconsistent this season, with teams either getting trampled by Dalvin Cook, or ripping holes through their porous secondary.
Minnesota has the squad and the ability to cause some havoc amongst the Packers, it’s just a matter of whether or not they can get their act together.

‘Dem Boyz

Dallas continues to punish teams they face with a relentless attack, and a D that swoops and scoops like a seagull.
The Cowboys continue to push up big points each week, while allowing their defence to swarm opposing QBs as well as create disruptions and picks a plenty.
The real concern here is that former Patriots fans are now emerging from the bushes as Cowboys fans. God help us all.

Packing it Up

Aaron Rodgers continues his cheese head farewell tour by pissing off fans around the league.
With his departure from Lambeau now a mere formality, Aaron is having fun playing the game again, despite not having the same Packers team(s) he has had in the past.
Green Bay was only able to put the game out of reach against the Bears in the last 7 minutes of play, which doesn’t bode well for upcoming Green Bay games against far superior squads.

Sport Bar and Grill

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham and Old Street last week for an amazing night of NFL games.
The place was rocking until 4am, as fans sunk into buckets of wings, towers of beer, and comradery of meeting new friends.
The Sports Bar and Grill Old Street is open until 12:30am every Sunday (monday), so make sure that you book ahead to get a great spot for all the games.
We will be back with Callum and another podcast this week, as we look ahead to all of the exciting Week 7 games.

Week 3 Tips

by

Another betting week is upon us, as we get ready for an exciting Sunday of NFL games.

With plenty of heavy hitting matches on tap, there are loads of opportunities to make some cash with smart bets.
To help you out (or not), we offer you some Week 3 Tips to increase your betting odds.

Wade and Ryan remarkably chose a lot of the games the same, which doesn’t happen very often.

That being said, the guys each have some value in their picks to help you make the right betting decision for you.

Make sure you join our Florida Panhandle DraftKings contest to WIN tickets to the Jaguars vs Dolphins at Tottenham stadium October 17th.
Open to UK residents only.

Now let’s break down some of the top plays for this week according to our pundits.

Ryan

For Ryan it’s all about the Bills this week, as he has high hopes for his Buffalo team that struggled against the Steelers in Week 1.
He is also offering his last heap of praise on the Falcons for this season, disappoint him, and be shamed for ever (or until next season).

Among some of Ryan’s top picks:

Bills -7.5

Buffalo is home at Orchard Park, which means the tables will be smashing to the sound of music.
Home field music. Ryan thinks his Bills will squash the Washington running game en route to a big beating for the home crowd.

LA Chargers +6.5

Justin and the boys are rolling into Kansas City to face Patrick Mahomes and the down trodden Chiefs. After losing to the Ravens last week, Ryan thinks they will struggle against a tough LA squad.
He’s got the Chargers to cover in this one.

Falcons +3

The devil might have Daniel Jones, but the Falcons have Matt Ryan and he’s going to win. This could/ should/ would be the last chance to invest in Atlanta. Don’t let him down this week.

LA Rams +1.5

Tom Brady might have it all, just not a victory on Sunday. Ryan thinks that the Rams will stuff the Bucs, allowing Matt Stafford plenty of time to get the ball around.

Wade

Wade is coming off some tough fantasy weeks, so is a bit tender when it comes to betting this week. Baby steps baby.
He does have some nuggets of gold that he sees, after correctly picking the Panthers and Broncos to go 2-0 at this point despite the odds.

Lions +8

Lamar might be back, but much of their team is down to injury. After an emotionally inspired win over the Chiefs in week 2, Baltimore might simply be out of gas (like Britain) after that game.
Detroit finds a way to grab points in garbage time, so it seems foolish to totally count out Goff when he has so much to prove.

Saints +3

Bill Belichick always has a plan, but so does Jameis Winston. ‘Chuck it deep.’
It seems a bit insulting to favour the Patriots by 3 after the whooping that the Saints laid on the Packers in week 1. Mac Jones will struggle against this D, and Kamara looks to have a beast of a game.

Bengals +3

Pittsburgh is a bunch of broken toys after week 2, losing key parts of their D. Once TJ Watt was out last week, the team collapsed on itself. The Bengals on the other hand almost came back from the Bears, and will be motivated to knock out the pesky Pittsburgh team.

Bears +7

7 points is a lot to give to a broken Baker Mayfield who is missing some of his key receivers.
Justin Fields gets his start after being okay’ish against the Bengals last week.
Chicago might lose this game, but they won’t get blown out.

Join us at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street on Sunday to watch all the games until the wee hours.
We will also be giving away the DraftKings tickets, so make sure you come along to watch all the games in action.

 

Week 3-London

by

Summer is a done’r, as we pumpkin spice our way into another NFL season.

With the leaves starting to fall, children settled back into their schedules, and fantasy football taking over our lives, everything is starting to feel like football again.
And that’s a good thing!

A weekend of sports lies ahead, and if you’re looking to watch the NFL games on Sunday, we can offer you several things to do for Week 3-London.

Sports Bar-Old Street

The most happening NFL party in the city, as well as the biggest!

With over 45 TVs, pool tables, hot wings and cold beer, the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street is your NFL central for the 2021-2022 season.

The Sports Bar and Grill will be showing ALL of the NFL games on Sunday, as well as Redzone and the Sky NFL game.
Make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment!

The Sports Bar Old Street is open until 12:30am, with a last call at midnight.
This gives you plenty of time to not only get your drinks in, but also stumble across the road to Old Street station and its many transport links.

Best of all, this week we are hosting our DraftKings contest, so that you can win tickets to the game between the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars.
The winner of the contest claims the tickets and the bragging rights!

https://www.draftkings.co.uk/draft/contest/114108483?bypassChallPop=true

This is the ONLY contest you can win the tickets in, so make sure that you enter this contest for the chance to win.
Winners must be UK residents, and able to make the game on October 17th.
Tickets will not be allowed to be resold.

Just an FYI that there is a football match (Tottenham vs Arsenal) at 4:30pm GMT.
The pub will be packed with soccer fans, but don’t worry, the bar has a dedicated NFL area, and will start the games on time.
Once the footy is over, all TVs will be switched to NFL so that you won’t miss much.

Sports Bar-Clapham

South London will be basking in the NFL on Sunday, as the Sports Bar & Grill hosts another great Sunday of NFL.

Located right off the high street, this amazing bar has loads of TVs, plus great wings and a fine selection of beers to round out your afternoon.

The bar will be showing most NFL games, but if there’s one that you want to catch, just ask a member of their helpful staff, and they will be glad to find it for you.

Unlike the Old Street location, Clapham closes at 11pm, so you will only be able to watch the 6pm games in their entirety.

If you would like to watch the late games, join us in Old Street.

Crouch End

The Princess Alexandra in Crouch End has been showing the NFL for years.

Locals can count on this intrepid sports pub for all forms of sports entertainment, and the NFL is just another fine feather in their caps.

The Alex is open until 12:30am, which means that punters can not only enjoy both the 6pm and 9pm games, but also make it back to the tube in time before it shuts.

Local transit hubs include Finsbury Park, Highgate, Turnpike Lane, Hornsey and Haringey train stations.

We are gearing up for the pre and post parties around the 2021 London games as well.
We will be throwing parties at BOTH the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street & the Princess Alexandra.
The Sports Bar has a late license until 4am, which means that you can watch ALL the games, as well as not have to worry about having to rush home to get the tube.

Look forward to seeing you all this Sunday, and at other NFL events going forward!
