DraftKings-Week 12 tips

by

It’s Sunday funday, when you need to frantically set all of your line-ups, chase down any missing pieces in your squad, and if you have to…draft players in.

DraftKings is fun, because it’s daily-so even if you have been sucking in your League this season, you can turn it all around in a fun play contest.
You don’t even need to play for money, there are loads of fun free play contests, including one in our League as well.

So who do you have in your DraftKings contest this week? Here are some of my top picks to help get your contest sorted.

Ryan Tannehill-QB-TEN-$5300

Ryan Tannehill? Wade…have you lost it? Yes, but that’s not the point. You want to find someone who has value against and easier D, and that’s what old Tannehill has. It’s no secret that the Jags have been playing defensive poo lately, so this should be an easier match-up. Tannehill will hit Derrick Henry in the backfield a lot, which means he could 100 yards just from him. Tannehill hasn’t been playing that badly as of late, and should be of good value to balance out the rest of your squad with a $5300 price tag.

Kareem Hunt-RB-CLE-$5600

Kareem Hunt has been a shell of his former self this season, barely making an impact this season. But that will change this week for a few reasons. They are playing the Dolphins. That’s only one reason, but there are a lot of factors involved in this. The Dolphins will struggle to stop a Browns team that is still smarting from the Myles Garrett incident last week. The Browns are going to want to establish the run to punish the fish, and Hunt looks to play the big role here. The Dolphins will struggle against a power 2 of RBs bang into their line all day. Hunt should factor in at least 1 TD and at $5300, is a steal.

Robbie Anderson-WR-NYJ-$4800

The Raiders & the Jets face off in NY, and the stakes are high for the Jets. They have been able to muster a few wins, and might be able to shake off the mono-rail like performance earlier this season. The Raiders are horrible when it comes to stopping the deep ball, and this is where the Jets should be able to find some momentum. Anderson has got some wheels on him, which means he should be able to find separation to get into the open. At $4800 he is a good deal, just for the amount of yards he will plow through as well. I like him to at least get 1 TD here as the Jets will look to exploit the weak secondary of the Raiders.

Michael Thomas-WR-NO-$9300

Michael Thomas is straight up shattering records this season. He is chucking up the yards and TDs as he continues to have a stellar performance. No one seems to be able to stop him. Given the anemic defense of the Carolina Panthers, he should have another smoking game at home. Once he gets those legs rolling, and uses his height advantage, mere mortals are helpless. He should have a few TDs in this one.

Here are some other dudes you might want to target.

Mike Evans-WR-TB-$7300-Evans looks to have a great game against a Falcons team that can pass rush, but can’t defend deep. Jameis is still putting up big yards, and he should be getting the bulk of the looks.

Joe Mixon-RB-CIN-$5900-The Bengals can’t do anything right, but they can run. In fact, Mixon does most of the work for cats. He should gash some yards in the slot from Driskell as they look to avoid that pass rush.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, which is aptly called NFLinLondon so that you can join in on all the fun.

Week 11 Review

by

Wow! Week 11 was like a punch in the head, except with a helmet…but it kind of missed…but it was scary.

Well it wasn’t just all about Myles Garrett, but he sure set the tone on TNF with that sledgehammer attack with a helmet on Mason Rudolph.
He apologised though…so..there’s that.

In this podcast, Wade McElwain & Ryan Cull blast through all of the games and highlights to give you a nice vantage on the week that was.
They also chat about:

Detroit Lions

Beaten, hampered, and injured, these Lions should be a meme. Even without Matthew Stafford they continue to compete. Imagine what they team would have been like had he played this week. They kept it close (again) almost toppling the Cowboys. It will be interesting to see what they do with him next season.

Falcon On!

Atlanta has finally managed to put a few wins together, but it’s too little too late. Are they winning for Dan Quinn, or winning because they just hate losing. Opposing teams should fear these guys in the coming weeks, as they have nothing to lose.

Washington Rot-Skins

Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! The woeful Redskins continue to watch their season flush down the toilet. Sure, they play better than the Bengals, but at least the injured cats try. You know it’s bad when you have to rely on Adrian Peterson and a bunch of no-names.

Bronco Kicked

Ouch Denver. You had a 20 point lead at the half, and then you let it slip away. Geez Louise! The Vikings were able to come back, but they were man-handled by that defensive line. It’s tough for a team with a great D, but a horrible, horrible offense with a bunch of losers.

Baredown

You suck Mitch Trubisky! In case you haven’t heard that enough, let me blast that for you one more time. Trubisky is sucking bad, and shows no signs of getting better. At least Cutler embraced being an a-hole.
You know it’s bad when you miss Cutler.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, and look out for some options from BetRegal this week.

We will also announce our Thanksgiving plans tomorrow, so get your gobble on.

Week 12-Sky

by

It’s Week 12 already! Are you ready for some football?

Sky Sports usually chooses some good’ish games to play, but they are hampered by fans across the UK who want to see their team.
There are loads of games on, but these ones look pretty good.

TNF

It’s Colts vs Texans at 1:20am Friday morning, which means a whopping 6 people will be watching this match. It should be a good game, and Wade & Ryan will preview it on the next podcast for the Week 11 review.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles are coming down from an emotional loss, where they HAD the Patriots, but squandered it away. It didn’t help that they took a bunch of injuries when they were leading 10-0.
Will they be motivated enough here to take down the high flying hawks?
It’s the battle of the birds!

Cowboys vs Patriots

‘Dem boys have been playing well, but well enough to take down Tom and Billy B? Pretty doubtful with the Patriots coming off a bye. They should be fired up at Foxboro to be able to hold them off.
This game goes late, so hope you get your rest for Monday.

Packers vs 49ers

This game would have been HUGE a few decades ago, but it should be an interesting proposition for a late Sunday game. Will the 49ers get enough guys back from injury? How will Aaron Rodgers hold up against this fast and furious game. This game starts at 1:20am, so be prepared to take Monday off!

See ya Sunday.

 

Week 11 Scores

by

Week 11 in the NFL is done and dusted.
So what did we learn?

Well, Wade & Ryan didn’t do as well with their picks as they thought.
Wade pulled off a 9-4 and Ryan rolled down with a 7-6.
Not bad for a tough week.

So what are some of the things we learned in Week 11?

It’s Almost Over?

Remember that barren feeling of mid-February? Well, that’s coming back. Although there will be some XFL to numb the pain of the season.
This season has flown by already, and as we hit the the run-up to the playoffs, everything is on the table.
Every game counts. Even ones against the Bengals

Oh Myles

Myles Garrett is a bad, bad man. Doesn’t matter what Mason Rudolph did, he’s the QB and you don’t try to smash his puny head in. Garrett will attempt to appeal, but he’s going to need to STFU and start doing LOTS of charity work.
He has a lot to atone for, and he will need to make the best out of being  a bad man.

LJ

Lamar Jackson is ripping through the NFL. After decimating the Patriots, LJ went out and made Deshaun Watson look like a punk. Their team came together in a grand ole affair, running all over Bill O’Brien and his inconsistent team. Watson was chased and hassled all game.
Everyone is going to need a Lamar Jackson plan, because he is coming for you all.

BearDown

The Bears continue to struggle, pissing off loyal fans everywhere. How do we fix the rot?
Why is the person who made the decision to go for Trubisky not being strung up and quartered somewhere?
Their O-line stinks, and they haven’t been able to stop the run since Hicks went down with injury.
Trubisky was benched for health reasons against the Rams, and it’s going to be a hard season to watch them finish out.
Plus every kicker seems to be cursed.
Is there some sort of ‘Wide Right’ spell that is cast on them as soon as they enter Soldier Field?

Screw Arizona

The Cardinals vs 49ers game was extremely frustrating for anyone who had a bet on the game.
When they recovered the ball on the last play of the game to put the game to an even 10 point spread infuriated fans who had money on the game everywhere.
You kidding me Arizona.
Luckily, I chose a bookmaker who had the spread at 11 points, so I was able to save something.
Hate games like that.

Viking Chokers

What a tough game for the Vikings, and even tougher for the Broncos.
They had the Vikes bent over a barrel, squealing like a pig.
And then they loosened the grip, allowing the Vikings to make a Super Bowl like comeback.
Good for the hometown crowd, but exhausting for the Broncos who choked so hard, they should have asked for a ‘safe word’.

Raiders

The Raiders have been playing well and keeping themselves in most games.
Josh Jacobs has been ripping it up, and given how pathetic their division is, it’s hard not to see them making a playoff push.
Jon Gruden has to be happy with himself this season, turning the drama of the draft and the AB situation into an after thought.
Good focused football, and a healthy team with a solid O line.
Could they disrupt the season and make a big impact?

Make sure you join our DraftKings League.
You can win big every week!
