Off The Richter: Four NFL Takes That Might Break the Internet

The lads, Ryan and Jez went 'Off the Richter' in their new segment called just that. The first crack is at the NFL, two minutes on the clock and hard opinions that will shake the room.

Daniel Jones & Drake Maye Deserve MVP Respect

Forget Mahomes and Allen, Daniel Jones and Drake Maye are the most disrespected quarterbacks in the NFL.

Jones has led the Colts to a 5–1 start while boasting the league’s best QB rating (79.7). Meanwhile, May, in just his second season, ranks top five in passing yards and completion rate, breaking Brady-era records along the way.

Betting Note: Jones at $21 for MVP is outrageous value given his numbers. Don’t be surprised to see that shorten if the Colts stay hot.

Baker Mayfield for MVP – and the Bucs to Win the NFC

Call it bold, but Ryan and Jez are backing Baker Mayfield to lead the Buccaneers to the NFC crown.

At 5–1, Tampa’s schedule opens up beautifully, and Baker’s form is undeniable:

12 touchdowns to 1 interception
7.9 yards per attempt
108 QB rating (career best)

They’ve beaten the 49ers, Texans, and Seahawks, with only the Lions posing a serious test before a soft run to the postseason.

Betting Angle:

Bucs to win the NFC – early value play.

Baker Mayfield MVP odds – serious momentum market.

Time to Blow Up the Dolphins

It’s official: the Miami Dolphins are broken.

Tua’s been sacked, rattled, and regressed; Tyreek Hill looks disinterested; Mike McDaniel’s system has lost its bite.

Last weekend summed it up:

Tua went 12 of 23, 3 INTs, and just 100 passing yards.

The offence is predictable, the energy’s gone, and the culture is cooked.

The Dolphins are a luxury car with no engine.

Betting Watch: Miami unders in team total markets are gold right now. Until something changes, fade the Fins.

Mediocrity Kills Faster Than Losing – Why Tanking Doesn’t Work

Forget “Trust the Process.” It’s over.

In the NFL, tanking doesn’t win anymore, it corrodes culture and kills momentum.

Teams like Carolina, Chicago, and Jacksonville have lived in rebuild purgatory, while consistent organisations like Pittsburgh, Green Bay, and the Colts thrive by staying competitive.

The Colts signing Daniel Jones is proof: success comes from culture, not draft picks.

Betting Lesson: Stay on teams that stay relevant. Clubs that compete every week – even as underdogs – cover the line more often than tanking rebuilds.
