The Woot and Wye Show: Wildcard Weekend Recap

The Woot and Wye Show – Wild Card Weekend Recap

After a holiday hiatus, we are back to review one of the most lopsided and underwhelming wildcard weekends of the past few decades. This weekend’s games had a total margin of victory of 76 points. That 19 point differential average is the highest of any Wild Card Weekend since 1981 and makes this opening round the most lopsided since expanding to four teams in 1990, per NFL Research.

LISTEN TO EP 173 OF THE WOOT AND WYE SHOW HERE.

Despite all four favourites winning comprehensively (which sets up an incredibly juicy divisional slate of games), there was still plenty of talking points from the action. Most of that circled around the Green Bay & New York Giants game, although Thomas Rawls loveable personality tried his best to overshadow that.

We marvel at Aaron Rodgers absolutely destroyed it for the fourth consecutive week and then we debate the skill to luck ratio in him pulling off Hail Mary throws like the one below. Rodgers over the past two seasons is 5 for 7 on passes of 40 yards or more in the last two minutes of a half. The rest of the league in that same scenario is 2 for 39.

Also on the podcast, we discuss Le’Veon Bell calling himself the Steph Curry of the NFL, the whole #BoatGate saga involving Odell Beckham Jr (mostly how ridiculous the whole thing is), Matt Moore’s toughness, Jack Del Rio’s decision to not turn to Matt McGloin and the Lions fail to reach the redzone once against the Seahawks.

The Woot and Wye Show’s Week 11 NFL Recap

By on

The Woot and Wye Show Episode 160: Cousins, Missed Kicks & that 7-9 BS

The 160th Episode of The Woot and Wye Show is a comprehensive wrap up and discussion of the major issues that Week 11 of the NFL season spat out for us. This includes everything from those 12 record breaking missed extra points,  Jeff Fisher tying the Tom Landry for the second most losses ever by an NFL head coach in 82 fewer games, the Chiefs stinking it up at home to an average Tampa Bay side and the Cowboys offensive line continued dominance.

Perhaps the most intriguing discussion on the podcast surrounded the form of two NFC playoff contenders in the New York Giants and Detroit Lions. Conor Orr of NFL.com produced an article this week looking at the historically low Margin of Victory for both teams. The Giants have 27 points separating their seven wins and the Lions have a chance to tie or beat that this Thanksgiving against Minnesota as they sit on 24 points across six wins. So we asked, are the Giants or Lions good or lucky?

The Giants margin of victory over 7 wins is 27 points, the lowest in NFL history.

Kirk Cousins decision to gamble on his playing future and future earnings has been a big talking point this week and we weigh in what type of money he will be looking at and what that means for the future of the Washington Redskins and the 2017 free agent QB class.

The Woot and Wye Show: Week 11 NFL Preview

By on

The Woot and Wye Show Episode 159: Romo’s Presser, Goff’s Debut & Week 11 Preview

Episode 159 of The Woot and Wye Show opens with plenty of chatter about the best games from Week 10. We missed our usual podcast scheduling during the week so we finally got to share our thoughts on a phenomenal weekend of football. We talk about the game of the year between the Steelers and Cowboys and question the Patriots defensive efforts.

As always we discuss the latest happenings from around the league and the topic on everyone’s minds is Tony Romo. We dissect his press conference and discuss what the future holds for the elite quarterback. We also chat Alshon Jeffery’s suspension and Christine Michael’s bizarre career in Seattle.

Listen to our Week 11 Moneyball NFL DFS Podcast.

Like every show we analyze and preview all the Week 11 games using the NFL lines as a starting point. Our lines are officially brought to you by William Hill Australia. The highlight of the Week 11 slate includes the DVOA Super Bowl as Philadelphia and Seattle battle for Football Outsiders number 1 DVOA ranking,

In looking at the Buffalo vs Cincinnati game, we explain why we expect a monster showing from AJ Green. Green leads all receivers in plays of 30+ yards and he faces a Buffalo pairing in Ronald Darby and Stephon Gilmore that are allowing the 1st and 2nd highest % of 30+ yard plays per target in the NFL. 

As always, we finish the show with our William Hill lock of the Week. Woot loves Seattle (-6.5) against his beloved Philadelphia Eagles and Wye likes the Kansas City Chiefs (-7) at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Woot and Wye Show’s Week 9 NFL Preview

By on

The Woot and Wye Show: Episode 156 – Matty Ice, Mighty Mike & Week 9 Preview.

Woot and Wye kick off the 156th episode by talking some baseball and in particular The Chicago Cubs historic victory and somehow wind up discussing a former school mate’s upcoming appearance on the Channel 7 programme “First Dates.”

After some hot takes on dating programmes and a lengthy discussion on bindii’s they get to some NFL news and in particular the departure of Norv Turner from the Minnesota Vikings. Woot questions Norv’s motivations behind the move while Wye sees it as an opportunity for new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to get the offense back on track by using their tight end’s more.

Listen to the Week 9 Moneyball preview podcast

They then turn their attention to Matty Ryan’s dominant performance in Atlanta’s comprehensive Thursday night football victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Matty Ice’s current Yards Per Attempt (YPA) of 9.55 for the season puts him in elite company. Only 2011 Aaron Rodgers (9.73) & 2000 Kurt Warner (10.63) have had a higher YPA thru 9 games since 1950 (min. 200 attempts).

The majority of the episode, though, is discussing the Week 9 NFL Lines. Game by game they go through the strengths and weaknesses of the teams before pointing out the key match up. The Sunday Night Football fixture between the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders is declared the game of the week as it sees the offensive line allowing the fewest sacks and quarterback hits in the NFL against the defensive line that leads the league in sacks and quarterback hits.

Woot and Wye conclude the show by giving their “Locks of the Week” brought to you by William Hill Australia.
