Week 11 Thoughts

November 23, 2021 by nflinlondon

Another wicked and wild weekend of football has just passed, and this could be the strangest, coolest NFL season yet.

What the heck happened in week 11? What does this mean for the rest of the season? Can I finally play Ryan Fitzpatrick?
All of these and more in our Week 11 Thoughts.

It was a good week for Wade, who went 11-4 in his Week 11 picks.
Ryan still found some gold, but was only able to go 7-8 on the week.
Bears and Bills both lost, which helps you figure out where the guys went wrong.

Jonathan!

Jonathan Taylor has emerged as the true beast of the NFL running backs, after having another massive display.
Taylor smoked through the Bills defence with ease, making Buffalo look like a bunch of Sunday chumps.
Wentz continues to make bonehead plays, but with Taylor leading the charge, the Colts look playoff bound.

Houston Problems

Ryan Tannehill got whacked by a Texas sized problem on Sunday, as the Texans thoroughly choked out the top tier Tennessee Titans.
It was like watching one of those UFC stars stroll into a local bar, talk some trash, then get taken down by a local high school wrestler.
It was a bad beatdown.

The Titans struggled to impress by being a definitive AFC leader, losing to the worst team in the division only goes to show how out of whack the whole AFC is.

Chief Concerns

The Kansas City Chiefs continued to play the ‘we’re not dead’ tune again this week, as they were able to eek out a win against a stuttered Dak and company.

The Chiefs were once again led by their D, who play like every down depends on it, in a tough W over a tepid Cowboys team.

The world once again is heralding KC to return to the Super Bowl fold, forgetting just how trash-tastic they were in the first weeks of the season.

Super Scam

Cam Newton is back for short yardage plays in Carolina, as the Panthers just couldn’t usurp their nemesis Ron Rivera.

Having already beat cancer, Rivera wasn’t phased facing his former malignance in a defensive match up for the week.

Cam Newton has oodles of energy, but he still can’t hit the deep ball, which is going to affect their chances of going deep this season.

Fire Nagy

No subtext here, time to fire Nagy.

The Bears and Andy Dalton held a lead against Huntley and the Ravens on Sunday, only to get beat by a late time, garbage ball to allow them to score.

Chicago’s defence was horrible, and Andy Dalton was left in the lurch by the team.

At least the Eagles can show everyone how to win when you’re in your rebuilding years.

Totally Baked

Baker Mayfield seems like a shadow of his former self, as he struggled again on Sunday, this time against the Detroit Lions.

Despite being propped by being 13 point faves, the Browns were a total stinker against a Detroit team missing their starting QB.

It seems that the golden years of the Browns are over before the patina even showed signs of appearing.

Cleveland’s only hope next year is to trade for Aaron Rodgers.

Carr Crackers

Las Vegas is hurting this year after being ‘Gruden’d’, then grinded by injuries and accusations, as the Raiders season was over before it even began.

Like the Browns, the Raiders are at that point where they need to decide if the QB really fits.

Vegas might need to start looking ahead next year, trading Carr away to salvage the rest of the team. Is Carr the guy you want for the long haul?

Eagle-Eyed

The Eagles are playing some great football, with a multi-headed running attack, and a whip smart attack by the fleet footed Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia is easily showing everyone how to be a good team during your rebuilding years.

Philly has 3 FIRST ROUND picks in the 2022 draft.

Look out NFC East!

Thanksgiving

Join us this Thursday at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, and Clapham as we host some great Thanksgiving games.

Week 11 Picks

November 21, 2021 by nflinlondon

It’s tips ahoy NFL fans, as Wade and Ryan make their picks for Sunday.

In our Week 11 Picks, the guys try to help you find some betting value in your Sunday Funday of action.

While we don’t have any betting partners here in the UK, we do recommend you look around at some of the betting sites and offers.
Many UK betting sites aren’t very NFL savvy, so you will have to dumb down your knowledge to use them.

Clapham

What are you doing Sunday? Need a place to watch the games? Then pop into the Sports Bar and Grill Clapham, right on the high street and near the Clapham Junction station.

The SB&G-C (as we like to shorten it to) has all the NFL games you need, plus Redzone, cold beer and even hotter wings.

Book a table to avoid missing out on a table with your own TV!

Ryan’s Picks

Like a true junkie, Ryan is still coming down from his Falcons fix a few weeks ago. He’s been clean over a week now, and Thursday’s beat down by the Patriots D settled his favour on them.

This week, Ryan is big on Baltimore -5 to beat down the Bears. Despite Lamar maybe not playing, he likes the overall game of the Ravens to squish down the Bears at home.

He likes the Vikes +1 to give the Packers a home stun, taking a victory over their NFC opponents. Is this the time that the tools of Minnesota shines?

Russell Wilson & the Seahawks +2.5 should be cooking Sunday according to Ryan’s pick, as he likes them to fight off the feisty Cardinals in a drizzly home cover.

Lastly Ryan is puffy on Big Ben and the Steelers +6 to gouge out a tight match against the Chargers, keeping them within the -6 spread.

If you want Ryan’s picks, take Ravens, Vikings, Seahawks, & Steelers. A £10 wager will win you £151.20.

Wade’s Picks

Bears +5 are fighting the Ravens this Sunday at Soldier Field, but Wade is full on Beatdown mode for this one, despite losing Khalil Mack.
Wade thinks that the Bears will easily cover, and possibly win against a limp squad lacking Lamar Jackson.

Washington FT +3 has its hands full with Superman on Sunday, but let’s see how super he is.
WFT might be tuckered after an emotional savaging of the Bucs last week, or they might be even more inspired to be better than their 3 wins.
Wade thinks the Panthers will stumble at home.

The Chiefs are back, but so are the Cowboys +2.5…and Dallas just has a better team.
Perhaps Patrick Mahomes will have another stellar day, or more likely, we will see the Chiefs of the early part of the season.
Dallas can run relentlessly over Kansas City, and they will most likely do that.

Put your hands up for Detroit +13. No, seriously guys, please. Detroit could really use it.
Fresh off a tough tie against the Steelers, the Lions lose Jared Goff in a 13 point underdog game to the Browns. The same Cleveland team that got dick punched by the Patriots last week.
Detroit will lose, but not by that much. They have a heck of a running game, and nothing to lose.

If you want to roll with Wade, take the Bears, Washington, Cowboys, & Lions. A £10 wager will hit you back with £162.10

That’s it for the Week 11 tips. Let us know how you make out.

Thanksgiving

We will be hosting Thanksgiving this week at the Sports Bar & Grill Old Street, and Clapham.

Please book a table to make sure that you don’t miss out. Here’s a link to the event.

London Thanksgiving

November 19, 2021 by nflinlondon

Gobble, gobble y’all!
It’s time for another Thanksgiving NFL party in London!
You ready to turkey up for a Thursday night of NFL games?

London Thanksgiving

Having hosted Thanksgiving parties across London and the UK for the past 15 years, we have come to learn a few things.

  1. Most people and places don’t ‘get’ Thanksgiving-If you ask the average Brit what they think about the holiday, they’ll respond that it has something to do with colonial savagery. Not far off, but they miss the pumpkin spice nuance of the atrocity.
  2. Not many places show the games. Putting on American Football on a Thursday night would seem a daft idea, given how busy the bars get on Thursdays. We still find a few places.
  3. No pub or restaurant has made a passable Thanksgiving meal. Every venue we have worked with has butchered the food in some easy way or another.

Thanksgiving 2021

This year is going to be different, as we are working with 3 great venues who will be showing the Thanksgiving NFL games, without worrying about pandering to our palate.

They will be showing the games, offering their standard menu, and that’s all.
Wings and football together again.

Sports Bar Clapham

Right near the Clapham Junction train station is the Sports Bar & Grill Clapham.
A groovy sports bar with loads of TVs, a jam packed menu and a happening scene that will make you say ‘how come we haven’t been here before?’

On Thanksgiving, this location will be showing the Bears vs Lions at 5:30pm, then the Raiders vs Cowboys at 9:30pm.

Closing time will be midnight, so they won’t be showing the 1:30am game, which is ok since we will all be home by then.

To book your table at the Clapham location, just click and book here:

https://www.sportsbarandgrill.co.uk/clapham/party-booking

Old Street Sports Bar

The Sports Bar & Grill Old Street is one of the biggest locations, with over 50 TVs, pool tables, fruit machines, and plenty of frosty beer taps to fill your thirst.

Located right across from Old Street tube station, this pub is centrally located, and a great meeting spot for all of your mates.

Thanksgiving night, the pub will be offering their regular menu, with loads of chicken wings and towers of beer on offer.

NFL games on during the night include the Bears vs Lions, Raiders vs Cowboys, and the bar will be closing at 12:30am, so no dice for the very late game.

If you want to book a table at Old Street, make sure you click the link here:

https://www.sportsbarandgrill.co.uk/oldstreet/party-booking

Crouch End

North London is also popping and locking with Thanksgiving, as the Princess Alexandra in Crouch End will be showing both sets of NFL games until 12:30am.

Close enough to Finsbury Park, Highgate and buses to central London, this pub has all you need for a fireside night of NFL games.

Here’s a link to the website to book yourself in.

Lost Highway

November 18, 2021 by nflinlondon

What another odd week it was on Sunday as the league continued to balance itself in an enjoyable, yet unpredictable preview of the post season.

Wade and Ryan look back at the big Week 10 news in our Lost Highway podcast, aptly named because it feels kind of directionless in terms of an outright driver in this 2021 season.

NFLinLondon · Lost Highway-Week 10-Ep 170

Buc’d Again

TB12 and the boys ate another W in week 10, as their curse at the hands of the Washington Football Team held true.
Instead of having some sort of email dirt on Tommy, they must have resorted to witchcraft, as Tampa was stung by the football team.
Tommy should have been real angry after a loss heading into a bye, but they almost look over-focused in this double digit beatdown at the hands on Heinicke.

Lion Ties

Dan Patrick can hit the decaf this week, as Detroit was able to eek out a tie despite being handed the game by Pittsburgh.
It was a brutal game to watch in all directions, and luckily overtime made the time go bye between the two sets of game matches.
Lions still suck, so do the Steelers.

Dead Birds

Thanksgiving is coming, and the Falcons were the first sacrifice as the Cowboys roasted the birds at home in an easy Sunday game.
Dak and the boys blow out the candles on Matty Ice, in a fresh comeback after being slapped by the Broncos a week earlier.
Ryan ate a bag of dirty dicks after going back to his Falcons fix, and it bit him once again.
Once a junkie.

Vikes!

What’s going on Minnesota? No, really.
The Vikings upset a sparkless Chargers squad who seem to have lost the adapter to their outlet of output.
Kirk Cousins continues to look better than he is, as Cook cooked, and the wide receivers were able to pick up the slack.

If you want to join us every Sunday, make sure than you pop by the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street or Clapham where we watch all the NFL games every Sunday.

Week 10 Memes

November 17, 2021 by nflinlondon

Another wild and wacky week in the NFL, as winners turned to losers, losers continued to lose, and the Lions finally got a tie.
Hopefully Dan Patrick won’t have a coronary now that the pressure is kind of a smidge.

To honour the football that just happened over the past 72 hours, we give you Week 10 Memes.

Tom Brady look a loss to the balls on Sunday, after coming off a refreshing bye. The Washington Football Club might not have any naughty emails from TB12, but they have his number.

Here are some hilarious memes that sum up the week and thoughts from week 10.
