May be different now, they were from 11 days ago, but I agree, he's a shout.

I'd be shocked if it's not Kyler, and it's something I prefer to wait till in season though, it's basically Rookie of the final month or so with the voting. (I'm still bitter Dak beat Zeke, not a chance that was the correct choice)

On Kyler, let's remember this is an attempt to bring the Air Raid Offense to the NFL from college, with a first time NFL head coach who hasn't coached in the NFL at all before. Kyler is a good fit for it, but they are hugely reliant on a borderline retiring Larry Fitz and a David Johnson who was poor last season. The offensive line is poor and the whole system is far from guaranteed to work. Oh and Murray isn't the best QB in this draft class.

Forgive me, but I'm not a buyer. I will of course be reviewing this when they're 10-6 and scoring points for fun...

Oh, there's very little chance they finish with a positive record.

But.

Last year they had backups in on the O-line for most of the season, they've signed 2 or 3, and drafted a couple as well as getting 1 or 2 back from injury, it's a new unit. They also severely lacked WRs, Kirk looked good before injury, they drafted 3 and picked up Clay to add to the TE's. Being such a mobile QB should help as well. I'm kinda bullish on the Cards this year, but I went through their schedule and had them Under their current win total. It's a horrible schedule for them!

You're right on the air raid too, could be a horrible mess at this level, but time will tell I guess.


Big side note - Peter King has the Bengals ranked 30 in his power rankings... Only the Dolphins and Cards below them.

Fine, lots of bodies. The left tackle position is massive in that system and they have DJ Humphries (who has had chronic injury issues) and then a bunch of developmental blokes. I'm not being all Skipp Bayless and dramatic on them for the sake of it. This could work out well, but it's going to take a while, as there are simply so many holes and this isn't an easy division or 2019 schedule, as you say.

The bengals look a distant 4th best in the North. I love Jonah Williams, but wish he'd gone to a better team. I think the Ravens retain the division by the way. Sneaky good team again.

NFL London ticket details released today.  Existing season ticket holders do not get priority for games at White Hart Lane, as previously advertised as a benefit when selling season tickets last season.  Understandable uproar to the news.

Basically, White Hart Lane will be a clickfest, and the tickets will end up on secondary sites in the hands of touts, rather than those who've invested and supported these games consistently since season tickets were made available.

Pathetic decision.

Have put out a few articles this week with antepost stuff, a lot of the leading XXXX markets covered and a lot of middle opportunities on QB passing yards which I know might interest a few of you chaps

Just be mindful of the juice, Cavey.

Def want the price in the cells if you can, as getting Evs on each side is great and 5/6 each side is unlikely to be profitable

Great work though to compile this. Thanks.

My copy of Sharp's Football Analysis arrived yesterday. Luvvly jubbly.

Is it time yet?

Yeah I put in the article about the juice, skybet are all 5/6 and Redzone 10/11 so at most you're losing £17 per 100 (365 seem to be the only ones altering the juice rather than number) and i've stated my inclination if you wanna go heavier on one side to potentially cover that.

I got the PDF version of Sharps book and using my 300 pages per month from HP to print it off and get it binded properly, it's amazing for nerds

Quality line from a book I’m reading. Talking about his high school football a formerly successful line backer at Penn State.

I get through a lot, one of the benefits of being a postman.

The American ones -

Around the NFL (fun and informative)
Rotoworld (fantasy based but also quite funny)
RJ Bells dream preview (Betting based, very knowledgeable and nerdy, Fezzik, RJ and Brad Powers)
Sports Gambling network (Betting based, might be a tough listen at the start, they're dicks, but once you get used to them, quite funny and good at what they do)
Ross Tuckers Even Money (Betting based, has Steve Fezzik on who won the Westgate Supercontest twice)
The Fantasy Footballers (self explanatory)

British Based

The Full10yards, I'm on the betting pods when they do one, so that's my endorsement there.
The NFL Show (Nat Coombs' vehicle, Mike Carlson etc)
The Gridiron Gentlemen (Nerdy as hell but they know their stuff, currently on top 10 of X position, last week was Cornerbacks)
Kickers Matter (Southerners, sweary and not the most professional but they know their stuff, fantasy based)

Around the NFL (light-hearted and NFL owned, but four sports writers with experience and who "get" the fan side of the game)

Stick to Football (mixture of college and NFL analysis. Main guy, Matt Miller, is a fantastic draft scout)

Rotoworld Football Podcast (good reviews of news, with some tidbits of analysis)

MMQB (Tends to be deeper stuff about the stories. Well connected people)

Move the Sticks (another NFL owned podcast, so corporate line very much toed, but you get great insight into the inner-workings of teams)

The Lefkoe Show (Bleacher Report's top interviewer. Has a very pro-player style, which means he gets good interviews, often with minor or relatively low profile players)

Phil Simms Unbuttoned (former broadcast partner of Adam Lefkoe. Now has a gig with CBS, so is doing a podcast for them and PFF. Former QB so has great insight into what life is like as a - in his case - jobbing pro)

Inside the Huddle (Sky Sports podcast with Neil and Jeff. It's lower level than those above, but all opinions welcome!)

NFL Show (same as above, really, with Nat Coombs and "Iron" Mike Carlson)

The Late Round Podcast (JJ Zacharison, chief writer at NumberFire and FanDuel, does short, analytics-based podcasts with fantasy at its core).

Those are my regulars. I will add various teams' "Locked On" podcasts if researching that team.
