Scoff Season

by

Well, that’s it for the 2021 NFL season.
Did it go as you expected?

Congrats once again to the LA Rams, and to our man Wade for picking them to win at the start of the season!
Great payoff!

Now that the NFL is done for the next 6 months, what the heck do we do now?

Well, there’s the USFL coming our way in April, a war in Ukraine, and whatever the heck the Raiders have planned for the offseason (probably more deaths than in Ukraine).

Wade & Ryan are back in action for our latest podcast, where they talk about this Scoff Season.

Among some of the things that the guys discuss in this episode includes:

London Games

Hooray! More games for us!

The NFL announced that the following teams will be hosting games in London in 2022. The New Orleans Saints, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Green Bay Packers.

For those of you counting, that’s the first trip across the pond for the cheese-heads, and should tickle the marbles of any Wisconsinite this side of Illinois.

While we don’t know who these will be playing (you can see our picks in another article), we do have our guesses.

Regardless, the UK will be A-ok in 2022 with 6 teams coming to visit us.

Rodgers That

What the heck does the dastardly Aaron Rodgers have planned for the 2022 season?

More vaxy lies for us?

This wannabe $50 million dollar man has been coy about his plans for this season, and his said that he will give us the goods in the next few weeks to not draw us out over the summer (thanks).

The Packers will need to pony up $75M for both players, which is about a 1/3 of their total salary cap.

All that just to choke out in the NFC playoffs?

TB22

Tom Brady is retired…or is he?

Tommy Boy left the Bucs after getting dumped out by Matt Stafford and the champion Rams.

But does he still have some gas left in the tank for another run?

He is a SoCal boy, so maybe the 49ers will come calling.

We will have more NFL news about the London games, as well as all the fun things to do in the capital once you’re here!
Watch this space.

 

 

Wild Picks

by

The regular season is over, and it’s time to get ready for the post season, as we look ahead to the weekend ahead in the NFL in our Wild Picks podcast.

Wade & Ryan are ready for the big weekend ahead even if the games are really late, and the bars are all closed.
The NFL is town, time to get sorted.

The guys look at the five big games on tap for the Wildcard Weekend and make their predictions for the spread, score, and more.

Have a listen and laugh at this new episode, exclusive to NFL in London fans!

Among some of the guys picks for the Wildcard Weekend.

Raiders (10-7) vs -5.5 Bengals (10-7) +48.5

Two AFC teams who are bruised and battered after a lengthy regular season, as well as the shortest time to play games of any of the post season teams.

The Raiders have been humbled by injuries, arrests, suspensions, and drama this season, so its any wonder that they have emerged to be able to take a run at the playoffs.
Derek Carr has carried on the team on his back, but how long can his back hold out given the circumstances?

The Bengals pushed towards the playoffs by being absolute beasts, with Joe Burrow ripping the field apart thanks to Chase and the boys.
It’s hard not to see how the Bengals won’t continue their winning ways, with a home town weather forecast that will scare the black and silver off the Las Vegas team.

Wade & Ryan both like the Bengals to win, but predict a closer game than the pundits in Vegas.

Ryan- Bengals 30 Raiders 27
Wade- Bengals 30 Raiders 28

Patriots (10-7) vs -4 Bills (11-6)  +43

It’s going to be another cold night in western New York, as the Bills host the Pats for a second time this season. The first game didn’t bring joy to Buffalo, so hopefully they can get that happy step in action to take out another win against these division rivals.

Bill Belichick will erase one part of the Bills squad, but which one? And does he have enough rubber to burn out more than one Buffalo player? Seems unlikely.

Wade & Ryan are both nervous about this game, but given that Ryan is a massive Bills fan…his nerves are a bit more frayed.
They both have the same score though!

Ryan-Bills 27 Pats 20
Wade-Bills 27 Pats 20

That’s it for the Saturday scores, we will have our Sunday predictions up tomorrow, or you can just listen to the podcast to hear it all.

Auld Langs

by

Happy New Year everyone!

We hope that Santa was good to you, that you avoided this nasty flu that’s going around, and you made it to the finals of your NFL Fantasy Playoffs.

Wade and Ryan are back for another cross-Atlantic podcast, as we bid adieu to 2021, and hope for better things in 2022.

Week 17 is almost upon us, and the COVID exemptions are already starting to pile up, with over 200 players expected to be affected by Sunday.

If you’re in the know, and good at betting, you should be able to find some juicy picks out of the rumble of games slated to kickoff for Week 17 in our Auld Langs podcast.

We’ve got our podcast locked and loaded for you, so that you listen, relax and let the Joe Average aura of the guys take you to your happy place.

Among some of the games the guys look at this week.

Dolphins (8-7) vs -3.5 Titans (10-5) +39.5

Tua and the fopping fish have had a heck of a season, winning seven straight games after losing 7 straight games, the only team to ever accomplish such a feat.
They sunk the Saints, but now look to a desperate Tennessee team who need the home crowd to help them take it over the top.

The Titans have suffered since losing Derek Henry earlier in the season. Without a smack in the face running game, they have had to rely on a Ryan Tannehill who lost most of the tools in his belt.

Ryan and Wade both like Tennessee to win, but Wade thinks that Miami should be able to keep in close with some of their receivers returning to health.

Ryan-Titans 23 Dolphins 16
Wade-Titans 21 Dolphins 18

-3.5 LA Rams (11-4) vs Ravens (8-7) +47

Matt Stafford and the Rams have everyone scratching their heads.
What was thought to be a wham bam, thank you kick in the West coast, has many wondering if Matt can carry the load he was expected to.
Bad back, defence that allows plenty of points, and losing Robert Woods took notch out of their depth.

Baltimore has been a steaming hot mess since Lamar went down, losing most of their D in the process.
Huntley was good, until he got injured, and hopefully one of them should be back this week.

Wade & Ryan agree that this is going to be one heck of a game, but that for the Ravens, this might be the more desperate time.

Ryan likes the Rams to grab and hold a good lead, while Wade figures the Ravens to be feisty enough to keep it close.

Ryan-Rams 27 Ravens 20
Wade-Rams 26 Ravens 25

-3.5 Eagles (8-7) vs Washington FT (6-9)  +45

Jalen Hurts is starting to play like his career depends on it, as the Eagles desperately chase one of the final playoff spots.
The Eagles have found some nuggets of gold in their roster this season, but have failed to develop their fortitude when it matters.

WFT is coming off a blowout by the Cowboys last week, in a game where they played every string left in the roster. They will have some of their main dudes back for Week 17, but with season slipping away, the motivation might be hard to come by.

Ryan is all over the Eagles in this one, taking Hurts and the boys for a smooth ride over a roughshot Washington team.

Wade believes that in these key moments, some teams just poop the bed, and this will be the case this week. When you want a win that bad, you often mess it up to spite yourself.

Ryan-Eagles 27 WFT 17
Wade-WFT 21 Eagles 20

That’s it for Week 17 picks, hopefully you find some wisdom in the ramblings.

Santa’s Ride

by

Ho Ho Ho’s all around to our NFL in London friends and family around the world.

It’s been a crazy, messed up year, but at least we have some football back right?

Wade and Ryan might be separated by an ocean, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting out a new podcast, and video podcast so that you can see our shinning, ugly faces.

In Santa’s Ride, the guys travel the world in this vodcast, talking about the NFL, COVID, NFL fantasy, the playoffs..and of course legal weed.

The guys are happy to share their picks with you for Week 16, even though they know that COVID, injuries and Santa might be playing a role in the outcome on Sunday.

Wade dials his picks in from Canada, while Ryan is doing daddy duty in London.

Gameday Recipes

by

With the holidays hitting us, it’s time to look at how and where you are going to watch all the NFL games this season.

COVID has been a purple-nurple of pain to this whole NFL season, with loads of fans cancelling plans to meet up in public, and forcing punters to stay at home and connect with other fans digitally.

Obviously we would love to meet up with all of you every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill (Clapham & Old Street), but bearing that, we wanted to offer you some Gameday Recipes in case you were looking to host the game at yours.

NFL Menu

An NFL menu is essential to the legitimacy of any football party, which is why we comprised some great recipes we found online to help you in crafting your NFL menu.

Traditional football foods are always winners, with wings, burgers, nachos and hot dogs kicking the PAT on every attempt.

UK delivery options are very limited here, although we have found Wendy’s opening across Britain, which makes it a tasty treat for any NFL viewing party.

Chopped Cheese

A Chopped Cheese sandwich is pretty much a Philly Cheesesteak, for anyone who hasn’t had one.

Traditionally served on a ‘hero roll’, these yummy, steaky, cheesy sandwiches are so addictive, you will probably get real fat, real quick.

In this video, our punctured millennials offer their versions of how to make this east coast classic.

While the hosts might be a tad annoying, this sandwich looks absolutely delish!

Skyline Chili Dip

If you have ever visited Cincinnati, you might have had the chance to try something that they call a ‘Skyline Chili Dip’.
Essentially it’s just a buttload of cheese, chili and what can only be described as a hint of awesome in it.

A very easy and simple recipe to make, this Ohio couple shares their best recipe.

Practice makes perfect before your next Super Bowl party.

Chicken Enchiladas

Enchilada. Sounds like a made up word, but as Thor said ‘all words are made up.’

Chicken Enchilada’s are a lovely Mexican treat that warms up any football party.

Easy to make, and perfect to prepare ahead of time, this recipe will bowl over any of your friends and family who might pop over to watch the games.

The only problem with this recipe, is being able to make enough for everyone!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Even the name sounds mouth-watering and delicious.

Taking the traditional classics of meatballs and buffalo spiciness, this winning combo is sure to be the big hit at any NFL party.

Lots of your friends might like varying levels of spice, so it’s a good idea to make a variety of balls from ‘mild’ to ‘shitting yourself hot.’

French Dip

The French Connection is a Christmas movie, and we will fight anyone who dares say different.

Holiday violence aside, the French Dip is a classic American sandwich despite the name that might suggest otherwise.

These sandwiches are easy to prep, and can be made ahead of time so that you can pop and lock them up in time for kick off.

In this video our private chef ‘bro’ breaks down his simple recipe on this olde time classic.

Gordon’s Wings

Chicken wings are the NFL main stay for any great party.

And when you think of great wings, you gotta think of Gordon Ramsay! Huh?

When Gordon’s not busy calling people a donkey or the C-word, he’s busy cooking…or attaching his name to ridiculous products.

Gordon Ramsay does his take on the classic chicken wings recipe. And while we probably wouldn’t EVER serve these at a Super Bowl party (maybe a Pro Bowl Party), it’s Gordon Fucking Ramsay, and this is the best Catalina Wine Mixer ever.

Donkey.

Those are just some of our Gameday Recipes for this holiday season.

Make sure that you join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill in Old Street or Clapham.

See ya Sunday!
