Memes make the world go round.
Their subtle mix of a relevant image with a pithy response makes everyone happy.
So what kind of memes do we have for you this week?
Loads.
Take a look at some of the good ones here, and feel free to share with your friends.
How much do you know about the NFL?
Would you consider yourself a genius of the gridiron, or a straight up novice?
What is your QB IQ really like?
We have created a fun quiz for you to test your knowledge of NFL Players.
You need to be able to correctly identify the players in the quiz to get full points.
Can you get 25/25?
Some of these pictures are pretty tricky, so you will need an encyclopaedic knowledge of the players of old to be able to successfully get perfect on this quiz.
Answers for the quiz are at the bottom of this page.
Here are some of the top players we think of when we think of NFL GOATS.
Jim Brown was an unstoppable beast. Not only did he crush everyone he ran into during the late 50s and 60s, he was also a badass mofo. Brown was intimidating on the field, as his running power was so strong, NFL weaklings of the era struggled to contain him.
Brown would be nightmare for the League this days, as he was always vocal about the calamity of events that were happening around him.
Whether it was segregation, the Vietnam War, or economic disparity-Brown always had an opinion.
Heck of an athlete and not a bad actor as well!
‘Sweetness’ was not only one of the toughest, most fluid runners in the NFL, he was also a remarkably humble man as well. Payton was an iconic Bear, who was nearly unstoppable on the field. Despite the fact that he could easily rush a 100 yard game every week, he didn’t trash talk, didn’t gloat, didn’t rub success in others faces. A truly class act.
Could there be a more iconic QB that Montana? He won so many awards, that many are now named after him. One of the most solid QBs in the SuperBowl, he was nearly perfect in several big games, and was a terror in the fourth quarter. If you have never watched any of his games, go back and watch them!
Another RB who could be considered the ‘classiest’ guy in the NFL. Sanders played with a quiet intensity that was terrifying. He could easily gash oppositions for tonnes of yards, yet he too has one of the most humble players on the planet. He retired before than he really had to, and when Barry talked, the world listened. Always tough to try to make a career in Detroit, but he never turned his back on the city, and gave them everything he had.
Make sure you come and join us for our SuperBowl Party at Long Acre Sun Feb 2nd.
We will have a quiz prior to the big game.
Good luck on the quiz.
Now here are the answers:
Conference championships, only 4 teams, so who do you pick?
Obviously there is a lot of value to be had on the top picks, but DFS is also about finding value in the other WRs, RBs and Flexs in the bunch.
Wade McElwain makes his Conference Championship picks on DraftKings, to make your life easier.
Here are some of the top picks he likes his week.
Dude came back from a 27 point deficit to chuck down 51 points. He could have score close to 70 if he didn’t take his foot off the gas. It’s hard to see anyway that Mahomes ISN’T the best QB stats wise this weekend.
Even if they lose (big leap) Mahomes will still put up 40 points and 300 yards.
He is at home with a wealth of talent to throw to.
He is the best QB this weekend bar none.
The 49ers have several RBs at their disposal, and will have plenty of opportunities to use them in the Redzone, and to gash the Packers throughout the night. It’s a wealth of guys to choose from, but Coleman is one of those guys who can really blast it through for the score. He should get at least 1 TD Sunday.
AJ is the Packers running game. While he was kept to just 38 yards the last time these 2 played, he should be able to get more Sunday, since he is their only solution. Jones should have a 120yd night, with at least 1 TD.
There are so many weapons at Mahomes disposal, how do you pick just one? Watkins is one of those guys who seems to score in pressure situations. This veteran is a solid choice when it comes to the Redzone, as well as finding separation from defenders in the game. Watkins is a good value for someone who might get you an extra 8 points.
Brown has been a beast for the Titans this year, so it was a bit surprising to see him only go for $5200. He should have a good game, despite the fact that the Chiefs should smother him in coverage. They will need to go deep if they fall behind, and he is the one that they will target the most.
Kelce is THE TE to fear this Sunday. The Titans don’t cover TE’s that well, so he should be able to gash the Titans for loads of yards and a few TDs. Sure, $7100 is pretty high, but when you know how many score he should get (3?) then you know that he will pay off in points.
Make sure you join our DraftKings League, and play in the numerous contests we have on for Sunday.
Good luck, and see you at Long Acre tonight!
Our man Ryan Cull is still smarting from his Bills being eliminated last weekend.
Will the sting of neglect still carry forward with him this weekend?
Time will tell, but more importantly his picks will.
We have included Ryans picks against the spread so that you can make your own picks based on Ryan’s expert NFL knowledge.
Will you take his advice?
Ryan isn’t totally sold that the 49ers can put up the big boy points versus the Vikings. Minnesota has dusted off the ice and seems to be playing competitive football.
Ryan thinks that the 49ers will win, but that they won’t cover the full spread.
49ers 24 Vikings 21
The Titans continue to impress as they knock off some of the top teams in the league, but can they knock off the top team? Ryan says ‘no’, but he does believe that this game will be closer than most think. He also picks Derek Henry to have a stellar game in the face of the D.
Ravens 30 Titans 23
The Texans are a team that Ryan hates right now. After dusting his Bills in the second half last week, he is looking for redemption in the form of a Chiefs beating. He thinks this will happen, with Kansas City easily covering the spread.
Chiefs 30 Texans 17
Ryan isn’t totally sold on the Packers either. Who have they beaten really, and have they done it impressively, or in need. The Seahawks are growing in confidence, but will too many injuries stop this party before it starts? Ryan wanted to take the Seahawks but just couldn’t do it. He does like them to cover though.
Packers 27 Seahawks 24

To summarise some of our thoughts on the Wildcard Weekend in the NFL.
Way to blow it Buffalo, your second half collapsed quicker than a homemade horse costume.
The Texans were good, but not great in disposing of a fast starting Bills team. Texans are in for a humbling vs the Chiefs this weekend.
Are the Patriots finally dead, or was it another off year? The Titans ran all over the Pats, and their vaunted D could barely stop the fast moving Henry. The Titans have to face the Ravens now, so enjoy your playoffs while they lasted.
The Eagles were finally showed the door to their place in the league this season. Wentz was hurt early, but it wouldn’t have mattered against the Seahawks team that is gaining confidence as it rises. Wade likes them a lot next Sunday.

So who are you choosing for your tea this weekend?
Who will give you the most bang for your buck for the points?
Let’s take a look at some of the dudes I have selection for my Wildcard DraftKings team.
Of the 8 QBs playing this weekend, DW is the fastest, most scrambling QB of the bunch. With a bevy of WRs at his disposal, Watson will be looking to torch the Bills secondary. Buffalo has a fast front, so also look for him to dump the ball off, short pass it and of course run the ball. A good deal at $6400.
Sure, the Vikings have a fast front D, but they also have to worry about Michael Thomas and Drew Brees. The Vikings will look to stop Kamara, but they may not be able to catch on to his pass options. Kamara will cause havoc in the backfield as he gashes them for yards. A bit pricey, but worth it.
The Patriots have used Harry sparingly with good results throughout the season. When it comes to the blustery playoffs, TB12 will be looking at players who can both run and catch for short yardage. Enter N’Keal, who can do both. He won’t be the number one all day, but he will be used in strong situations where they need someone to beast it across the line, or for those redzone toss ups where the big man gets it. A steal at $4100.
He was THIS close last week against the 49ers, and there’s a good chance we will see a lot of him this week. He can muscle his way up the middle, and has a big frame that’s hard to take down once he gets going. Hollister is coming up as one of Russell Wilson’s favourite targets, so he should get plenty of action this week given the injuries to the team. A good value TE at $4300,
I like to look at the biggest point spreads when determining what D to take in DraftKings. For one thing, they will be losing and need to stage a comeback. Desperation yields necessity, and I necessarily think that the Vikings will go into a hole on Sunday. The Vikings like to do deep, so that means the ball will be up in the air a lot against a tough Saints D. For $3000 they have value.
Join our DraftKings League and start playing right away. You can play for FREE or win CASH in weekly contests. Wade & Ryan give their tips as to who to go with every week.

See you soon!
Hahahahahahhahahaha!
Ok, got that out of the way.
The New England Patriots looked absolutely anemic in their beating by the Dolphins on Sunday night, and raises some big, furry eyebrows as to how their going to progress in the playoffs.
They just needed to win, and they were through to home field advantage in the playoffs.
How hard could it be to beat the Dolphins?
Ryan Fitzpatrick and is his beard?
The Dolphins played off their heads, challenging the Pats at home and making the New England defense look befuddled.
Fitzmagic sprinkled his dust all over the field, hitting targets at will and moving the ball with ease.
The Patriots were expected to be on return form after their handling of the Bills last week, so what happened here?
It’s hard to say really, as Tom Brady actually looked human.
When was the last time you saw TB12 throw a pick six?
Well, he did.
Instead of having a week off, the Patriots have to face off against the Titans next week in a chilly grudge match.
The Titans were able to dismantle the Texans with ease on Sunday.
This was the Texans team who beat the Patriots a few weeks ago, so it doesn’t look good for the Pats heading into a match-up with Henry and Tannehill.
‘Do your job’.
Obviously that wasn’t done.
Join us at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden to watch this late match up on Saturday night.
We will also be offering some great betting options with BetRegal that night.
Join in our DraftKings League where you can also win some great cash and prizes.
See you next weekend.
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.
Are you still fat and drunk from the holidays? Then buckle in for Week 17 of the NFL, which can be as exciting/ boring/ unpredictable as a family Christmas dinner.
There are a few games that really matter in the playoff race, and some that are a fart in the wind to cap out the week.
For some of the teams that have already secured a playoff spot, they are more concerned with resting their good players, and thus the games become incredibly difficult to handicap.
Also, teams will be watching the scores of other games, and will adjust the beatdown facto they lay on the other teams-or lay-off.
This adds a wacky nugget element to sports betting.
To help you out, I have made some of my predictions to help out your betting options.
Make sure you check out our BetRegal offer. Just deposit £10 and spend it on a bet, and you get ANOTHER free £10 bet to make on another offer.
We have our DraftKings League set up as well, so pop on over and set up your team for today.
Wildcard Saturday is just around the corner, and we will be showing ALL of the NFL Playoffs at the Long Acre pub in Covent Garden. For £7 you get entry and a welcome beer.
Ok, let’s take a look at some of the big games this Sunday.
Christian McCaffrey must be tired. He has been carrying this team on his back/ legs and ego this season, and it has been a very disappointing one. What will happen next season with Cam Newton, and can they fade out this season with some dignity?
The Saints are fired up. They have 12 wins under their belt, but it’s the 3 losses that are the scary ones. They have shown some inconsistent play during some of these games, and that’s not the blueprint you want to take into these playoff games.
The Panthers won’t be motivated at home, but the crowd will be treated to a high-scoring affair.
Alvin Kamara looks to have a beast of a game, so factor him into your fantasy line-up.
The Saints are looking at home field advantage, so they will be ready to run up the score to get it that way.
Saints win big.
‘At least we’re not the Bengals!’
The Dolphins had a pretty miserable season, but at least they were able to not fully trash bag the season, and walk out with 4 wins.
Ryan Fitzpatrick brought his magic to many of these games, and although they won’t get the first draft pick, they will be able to slowly start rebuilding the team.
This is a tough game, because the Patriots need a win, but they don’t need a beating of the fish.
As long as they win, they’re in-but they will be watching the Chiefs score to determine how far that beating goes.
Look for Brady to roll up some big scores early on, then let off the gas after the first half, once they know what the playoff implications are.
I can see Fitzy going out with a bang in the second half, unless he gets demolished by the Pats D.
Dolphins cover.
The Lions have had a worse season than lions being kept in an Eastern European circus.
Too many injuries, and a disappointing tough schedule have kept them in the NFC north basement.
The Packers are sitting pretty, but they need to win to secure a home field position.
Again, they will look to put up a big score, then start to coast, but unlike the Dolphins, the Lions don’t have any assets to allow them to keep this game close.
Packers win big.
The Chiefs are in the playoffs, but how far are they in? Just the tip, or the full shaft?
Kansas will also be keeping an eye on the Patriots game to see how their future holds.
In the crazy chance that the Dolphins actually beat the Patriots, KC can secure home field advantage, and make the season a lot tougher for anyone willing to visit the midwest.
The Chargers have a solid front D, so look for them to chase Patrick Mahomes all over the field.
LA is one of those teams who won’t let up in this game. It’s their final season in the old stadium, so it’s a new start and new home going forward.
There will probably be more hot dog vendors in the stand than there will be Chargers fans.
Chargers cover.
I will be outlining what some of the good parlay pick options are this week, so make sure you head over to BetRegal and take me up on my predictions.
Happy Sunday everyone!
Yeah, that’s right. Bleak. What a woeful week in the league, as some teams played off their head, while others looked like they had their heads taken clean off.
I went 4-11-1, which is one of the worst beatings I have taken all season.
Why did I suck so bad?
Ask some of the teams I picked, who couldn’t score in the NY strip club ‘Scores’ with a wad of Benjamins.
Let’s take a look at some of these games to see what the heck happened.
And just like that, it’s over for the Bears. Despite their 3 recent wins, they weren’t able to muster much offence in the face of the Pack. Rodgers attempted to gash the Bears with a few deep ball options, but it was Aaron Jones who did the leg work, rushing for 2 big TDs.
Near the end, it looked like the Bears might threaten, but that didn’t last very long.
The Packers move up in the NFC thanks to the win, but they still don’t really seem like contenders in the face of the opposition.
Mitch Trubisky might want to move out of Chicago as soon as the off season starts.
Let it snow! Let it snow! What the hell? You don’t expect much when it comes to snow games in KC, as the under points are pretty much guaranteed. I had expected the Broncos to cover the 9.5pt spread, but no. They had to suck dramatically on Sunday.
Drew Lock looked like he could use some WD40, as Travis Kelce had more yards that then whole Denver team heading into the 4th quarter.
For a team that had been so dominant in previous weeks, it sucked to see them fall apart like that.
Mahomes was on fire in the snow, and he will use that arm to melt December opposition.
Dwayne Haskins was putting the Eagles to sleep heading into the half, with a dominant performance that kept the Eagles on their back feet. Then the choke started to wrap around the throat of the Redksins, like Lord Vader himself was taking their breath.
Greg Ward was an absolute beast, and Miles Sanders ran all over the hapless Redskins.
I liked McLaurin in the game who had a great game.
I wrongly thought that the Redskins would keep it close, and they did…until they started fucking up.
This one I got right. I had the Cardinals to beat the bad bad Browns, and they sure did that!
Kenyan Drake had a 4 TD day, as the Cardinals snapped a 6 game losing streak.
Kyler Murray had a great game on the field, and on his feet.
Baker Mayfield and the Browns looked like they were playing on their backs…while hungover.
You can even hear numerous Browns players chatting to Cards players saying they want to be traded.
Reminds me of when Soviet athletes would visit America, then just leave their hotel at night to defect.
Cleveland has another full decade of losing seasons.
This was Tennessee’s game to lose, and boy did they lose it.
They were down 21 points in the 3rd quarter, and rallied to make it look closer than it was.
They now need help to win the division if they want to stay alive in the next 2 games.
Derrick Henry was choked out of another 100 yard game, as the Texans effectively put the clamps on him.
The Titans looked unstoppable in the past 4 games, now they are going to have to refocus and figure out what they need to do to get back to winning ways.
‘Dem boys were back at home on Sunday, and they delivered an ass-whopping to the Rams.
LA had been on a roll for the past 2 games, and it looked like they were starting to get their form back.
Despite Dak having a brain fart during the coin toss, they were able to dehorn the Rams in an epic fashion, erasing the big wins the Rams put together in the previous weeks.
Zeke looked on fine form, and Dallas out-rushed the Rams 263-22.
The Rams could barely find their legs all game, and Goff was Goff’ing it up once again.
Both of these teams have playoff hopes, but making it past the first round is VERY hopeful for both.
What a week to lose a game! The flashy pants 49ers went from a first round bye, to needing some wins to guarantee that they can actually make it in.
The 49ers not only shot themselves in the foot in this one, they then shot themselves in the head while looking down their own smoking barrel. The Falcons were able to score 2 touchdowns in 2 seconds, winning the game and shocking the double denim stadium.
Jimmy G and the whole O didn’t look good against the Falcons. Yeah, you heard that right.
There was a sense of dread at the middle of the season that the 49ers didn’t have the ‘right stuff’ to win it all, and this game may have brought that discussion back.
It was good to see Julio Jones smile, but this game was ugly.
Ugh.
I now feel nauseous watching recaps of Week 15.
It reminds me of when I use to text and drink. (I don’t do that anymore)
I felt bad the next day, Monday and even Tuesday.
This was an NFL betting hangover.
