Week 14 Review

by

 

The podcast review show is up, as Wade & Ryan look back at a shaky betting week in the NFL. Both guys went 8-6-2 for the week, which is good-but not great.
As we mentioned before, the last 3 weeks can have some unpredictable scores.

Some of the games the guys touch in on the podcast include:

Broncos 38 Texans 24

Way to go Drew Lock and the Broncos for making a season out of it. They exploded on the Texans who had no answer to the relentless onslaught of the Broncos deep ball. The Texans were totally outclassed, outgunned and out played in this game. It really puts their playoff chances in doubt, when it’s shown they can be beat by countless deep ball chances.

49ers 48 Saints 46

Once in a few years, a game comes along that delivers a great NFL product. This was the game. An endless back & forth of scoring by two great offences and defenses. Brees & Jimmy G each punched each other with scores upon scores, until the 49ers rallied late to score. Both teams played like they are both destined to play again with greater stakes at risk.

Redskins 15 Packers 20

The Packers won. But did they really? They put up some quick points, only to just sit on their lead. The Redskins made this a contest, and you wonder what the Packers will do when they face a team that can score back. The Redskins made some great little plays, and their D was able to adjust to Rodgers in the second half. Closer than the 13 point line suggests.

Chiefs 23 Patriots 16

The Patriots lost..again. This was a tight match that saw Tom Brady’s throwing options as pretty much zero. Mahomes looked ok, but not daunting enough to win a big playoff game. The Patriots will need to rebound if they want to win it all, but if anyone can do it, it’s them. The Chiefs might find themselves in the same early exit fate as they did last year. A win, but was it enough?

The Rise of Jimmy

by

Gotta love a good trailer cut with unlicensed NFL footage.
That’s what this guy did here in a touching and emphatic tribute to Jimmy Garoppolo set to a Star Wars theme.
Not sure how long YouTube will allow this sucker to be up here-but it’s a fun watch.

Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda, Baby Yoda.
Anyone else getting sick of this little idiot?
Let’s be real for a second-the only reason Baby Yoda exists is to sell Christmas toys.
Anyone who thinks that it is there to ‘save us’ or is an allegory to something grander in your existence is kidding themselves.
It’s all about the Baby Yoda.

So is Jimmy G the Baby Yoda of the NFL this season?
Well-there are probably loads of women across America that might have named one of their ‘toys’ Jimmy G, so who knows.

The real question is will they be a fad this year, or do they have the force to be able to dismantle their opponents.
The stage is set between an epic fight, and if history and culture are prepping us for who the villain is-it seems pretty obvious.
The Patriots.

If the Patriots face the 49ers in the Super Bowl this year, then Disney had something to do with it.
To create an epic franchise of good vs evil, well that’s their game.

The video is fun though, even if the thought of Baby Yoda is annoying.

Week 15-Sky Games

by

It’s Week 15 folks, so forget your families and holiday shopping to focus on the most important thing in your life right now…the NFL.

Sky Sports has released its Week 15 schedule so that you can watch the big games. and there are some great ones on tap this weekend.

The 6pm (UK time) game features a divisional match-up between the Texans and the Titans.
The Titans have been rolling under Tannehill lately, and their punishing running game has really made it difficult for several teams around the league.

The Texans are still smarting from that Week 14 beat down by the Broncos, and will be looking to grab some kind of momentum against this staunch Titans team. Will they be able to continue their playoff hopes, or will the Titans grab the early lead in the march to 2020?

The 9pm game features the LA Rams vs Dallas Cowboys, not the greatest game in the world-but two teams in desperate need of a win. Can the Rams finally right their ship, or is it too little too late?

The late game will feature the Bills and Steelers in a must win situation for both, with Buffalo really hoping that they might be able to steal a lead from the Patriots.

Pop by the Princess Alex in Crouch End to watch all of the games.

See you Sunday!

 

Week 14 Results

by

Week 14 is almost done and dusted (does the Eagles vs Giants game really count?)
How many did you get correct?

Week 14 can always be a bit tricky to predict, with teams on the edge playing for their lives, which is what we saw this week.

Here are some of the interesting results from Week 14.

Redskins 15-Packers-20

Yes, the Packers did move forward in their playoff quest, but this was by no means a simple game for them. Despite being 13 point faves in this game, the Packers struggled to stave off the feisty Redskins. Haskins moved the ball around well, exposing problems in the Packers secondary.
Aaron Rodgers had some good passes, but it wasn’t a very convincing win for a team in a tough division. You barely beat the Redskins. How are you going to fare against some of the other top teams?

Dolphins-21 Jets-22

Poor Jets, they are fighting for wins, and when they get them-they are ugly. Fitz was anything but Magic, as the Fins relied not their kicker to get the job done-hitting 7 field goals to keep them in the game. This was an ugly 5.5 point spread for the Jets, so it was good to see that they weren’t able to cover this. Yeah, they won-but it was against the Dolphins and you barely won.

Broncos-39 Texans-24

Houston, we have a problem. The Texans aren’t playing very consistent football, and Drew Lock and co. really stunned the Texans in their pursuit of an AFC division. The Broncos struck quickly, moving the ball with ease, and gashing the Texans D with long balls and big runs. Where is JJ Watt when you need him? The scoreline isn’t as close as it could’ve been, as the Broncos could have whooped more points on them.

49ers-48 Saints-46

Holy macaroni what a game. This was as back and forth as a teeter-totter, as both teams were firing on each others D’s. It doesn’t bode well for having a tight D, when both your teams combine for a total of 94 points in offence. Jimmy G looked good, and Kittle is a beats when his big legs get moving. The Saints fall a little further back, making it a tough contest for anyone who faces them going forward.

Chiefs-23 Patriots-16

The Patriots lose? What is happening? Did they not pay off the refs? Well…about that. The refs actually had some blown calls on the Patriots that went through. What? They got screwed too? TB12 was in angry mode, as his team struggled against a Chiefs team that was all over him. 40 total points is surprising, but not as surprising as the Pats losing at home in December. They are now out of first place, and will have to fight for a wildcard spot if they continue this record. Could the Bills beat them in a few weeks?

Chargers-45 Jaguars-10

Where has this Phillip Rivers been? How can they finally start chucking up this amount of points this late in the season? The Jags played like garbage, and Minshew is going to need some moustache oil if he wants to get his team lubed up again. Too little too late for the Chargers, as they limp out of this season into a dark future of a team without a fanbase. The Jags have watched their vaunted D disappear, just as their offence has done. They need a lot of work!

Heading into Week 15 and things are starting to get desperate.
Who actually has a good shot at winning it all?
Are the Patriots really done?

Week 14 Picks

by

Week 14 is here already, and brings with it some tough games to bet on.
I hate week 14 because the teams struggling in the middle will often outpace their previous opponents and leave a might beatdown on some otherwise close games.

There are quite a few lines this week that are at +10 points and above. As you may know I am always adverse to these huge spreads, but then Week 14 brings with it desperation for divisional superiority. There are a few games today where the spread just might get covered because they really NEED it.

Take a looksee at some of my picks, and click away to join with our BetRegal promotion.

-6 Ravens (10-2)  vs Bills (9-3)

Ugh, this is a tough one. The Bills are at home for a totally craptastical weather forecast. It’s hard to score loads of points when it sucks like that, so maybe focus on the under. The Bills have a tight squad like the 49ers. The can shut you down on D, and Josh Allen moves the ball to some favourite targets. The Bills should stay in this one, but the Ravens should win in a tight one.

49ers (10-2) vs -2.5 Saints (10-2)

Some people were surprised at this line, with the Saints being the fave. They are at home, and have started to lead a dismantling defence and an offence that is starting to find its funk again.
Brees is rightly favoured at home, and should load up loads of points to Michael Thomas. The 49ers will keep it close if they can punish with the run. Saints win.

Bengals (1-11) vs -7.5 Browns (5-7)

The Browns are in a weird freefall. It’s like the Myles incident and their poor play have compounded on the team in a malaise. They don’t seem to be a solid locker room team. Things will get worse this week when they face an Andy Dalton led team that is looking for vindication. This is a big divisional game, and one the Bengals can even win. If Joe Mixon can get into a rhythm, they can really pound the poor dog pound into a whimper. Bengals win.

Dolphins (3-9) vs -5.5 Jets (4-8)

5.5 points for the Jets? Not sure about this. They have been very inconsistent, and Darnold can either shine or shudder under opposing defenders. Leveon Bell is out for this one as well, which will limit the ground options and put more pressure on Sam Mono-arnold. FitzMagic is feeling it, and they have a coach who is ready to mess around to get points. They can be cagey, even if the crappy weather in NY will be a limitation. Miami covers.

Chiefs (8-4) vs Patriots (10-2)

Tom Brady is old and dead. That’s what recent performances have made critics claim as they bemoan the death of a GOAT. But this is TB12 in Foxboro, in December. Historically it doesn’ t go well for opponents, and this match will echo the heralds of history. Mahomes will be chased all night until his knee pops or he tosses INTs. They will need to use Kelce and a solid running game to mess them up, but Tom is too good at home. Patriots win it.
