Week 1 Review

Week 1 Review

September 13, 2022 by nflinlondon

Well that was a bit of a surprise wasn’t it?
Week 1 came in like a rainbow, and left like a sloppy wet storm as the 2022 NFL season is officially under way.

If you’ve just awoken from a coma, or have been inconsolable over the death of Queen Elizabeth, we’re here to give you a recap, in our Week 1 Review.

Bills Hype

At the start of the season, everyone was talking Josh Allen and the Bills, and how they were primed for a SuperBowl run this year.
Well after their dismantling of the LA Rams on TNF, it certainly looks like the Bills are ready to shuffle off to the post season.
Sure, there were loads of mistakes in the game, but by the second quarter we saw a Buffalo squad that moved the ball wherever Josh wanted it to be, not to mention stifling Matt Stafford and a Rams team who looked like they didn’t even know who they were playing.
Get yourself to Witness Protection-because the Bills Mafia are looking for victims.

NFC North

Bears win, and Aaron Rodgers gets choked out by the Vikes. Yes, you heard that correctly.
Rodgers looked incredibly pissed in a big L to the division challenging Vikings.
Flipping channels to watch Davante Adams snagging oodles of Carr’s balls, while Rodgers limp balls found no hands.
While it’s too early to ‘count out’ any team-it certainly seems that the Packers need some sort of Viagra to get the blood pumping.

The Bears were able to smother Trey Lance on a wet Sunday, but it was the Bears D who was the real star here-making it tough for the 49ers move the ball.

Detroit lost in a nail biter against a tough Philly squad-causing Dan Campbell to double his caffeine intake.

Minnesota is looking good.

What the Mahomes

Who said Patrick Mahomes was too old, past his prime and would never be back to the big game? (no one hopefully).
We did say that Jackson Mahomes needs to STFU and get his grown ass a job…

Patty Mahomes was incredible on Sunday night, ripping the Cardinals a new one with 5 TDs and 360 yards passing. Sure, the Cardinals are dealing with loads of injuries already, but it’s clear that ‘Tyreek Who?’, isn’t an issue any more.

Now if only Jackson and JuJu could make a super Tik Tok that destroyed them both…

Dak It

Just when you were getting ready to roast the Cowboys for another feckless season, Dan goes out and hurts his hand again.

Dem Boyz took a hefty beating from TB12 and the Bucs on SNF-not as much as Dak’s hand, but a beating nonetheless.

Many Vegas bookies have already written Dallas off as a playoff team.

Back to the back up QB once again.

Kicking It

What the heck was with the kickers in week 1?

The Steelers-Bengals game was painful to watch, as each kicker took the worst of the early games, and dragged it into the second set of games to torture us all.

After that many misses, surely they could just bring a fan in and try to give it a go?

Koo was on fire…the east of you…practice!

Justin Jefferson

If we ever run out of solutions for the energy crisis, we should just hire Justin Jefferson to ‘light it up’ for us every week.

The much vaunted Packers D was no match for Jefferson, who was so open-he was offering free shopping carts to anyone who wanted a ride.

Jefferson proved he is well worth the fantasy splurge after humbling Green Bay.

Imagine what he’ll do against a really BAD defence?

Patriotical

Could the New England Patriots be the worst team in the AFC East this year? Sure looks like it after getting dick-punched by the Dolphins on Sunday.

Sure, it was a sweltering day in south Florida, but Billy B and the boys went down there early to prepare for the game.

Eesh. Mac Jones took a few tough hits, but even tougher on the Pats is that it looks like scoring is going to be REALLY hard for them this year.

Oh well…off to Week 2.

Week 1 Review

September 16, 2021 by nflinlondon

The NFL is officially back, and we can confirm that some beatings were handed out in style on Sunday, as we tip this podcast with our Week 1 Review.

Wade and Ryan both went 10-7 on Week 1, which isn’t bad considering how many upsets were flipped.
Both guys had some solid tips that turned into rocking picks, but also missed some glaring big opportunities on the board. (Hello Texans!)

In this podcast, Wade and Ryan look back at week 1 in the NFL, and how they fared with their betting brains.

Make sure that you join us this Sunday at the Sports Bar and Grill Old Street, where we will be showing all the games, as well as running a few DraftKings contests for your chance to win big!
Remember, we are giving away a set of tickets to the Dolphins vs Jaguars at Tottenham in our Week 3 contest, so join away there!

Here are some of the games we look at in this episode.

Eagles vs Falcons

Wade was all over Philly and Hurts, pegging this one as a big upset over the host Falcons.
Ryan figured Matt Ryan would find a way to win this one, although he never did.
The Eagles beat the heck out of Atlanta on Sunday with a solid combination of a dual running game, great new receivers, and an inspired Jalen Hurts.
Philly truly could be special this year.

Steelers vs Bills

To say Ryan was gutted in this result is an understatement.
The Steel curtain of D was all over Buffalo and thwarting Josh Allen’s ability to get going.
Despite being a 5.5 point underdog, Pittsburgh was able to frustrate a home crowd and their chances at going all the way in the AFC.
It did make this conference a whole lot more interesting though.

Cardinals vs Titans

Wade called this game the best DFS opportunity of the week, and boy was he right.
Kyler and co. pounded the hapless Titans D relentlessly, making Tannehill look like a chump in his own house.
Not only was Murray able to spread the ball, but the Arizona D was able to spread Tannehill out with repeated sacks.
Ryan thought his Titans would reign supreme, but now the world is looking at them to get it together if they have any chance in the AFC.

Seahawks vs Colts

Wade was sure that the hometown Colts would be able to buck away the limp Seattle D and establish their running game.
Ryan was chanting ‘Russ! Russ! Russ!’ ahead of this match, confident that RW would be able to rally the troops together.
Ryan got this one right, as the Seahawks actually looked good in this one.

Packers vs Saints

Hahahahahahahaha.

Bears vs Rams

Wade thought his Bears might put up some sort of fight against the LA D, but it wasn’t to be.
Matt Stafford had a career high night, and Justin Fields stayed healthy…so there’s that.
Chicago is going to need to find some resolve to win some of these tough games ahead in a weak ass division.

Ravens vs Raiders

Ryan was sure that the Las Vegas Raiders would roll big dice in their home opener against the Ravens, and boy was he right.
This exciting game was an up and down affair, with the Raiders coming out with an inspired win.

How many of our picks did you take?
