S2 Ep13: The Punt Return: Betting on the NFL - The Carolina Pretenders and the Best Team in Football
Nick, James & Josh are back from a helmet hitting Week 11 for a massive Week 12 Edition of the The Punt Return Podcast.
Week 12 features five huuuuuuge games between playoff contenders and Nick has - and rightly so - been hyping this slate up for over a month now.
Before looking at the Week 12 action, the guys cast their eyes back and talk about THAT Myles Garrett incident, Colin Kaepernick’s situation (mostly that he should be starting for the Chicago Bears this week, instead of Mitch Trubisky) and James highlights the blazing form of Kirk Cousins.
Week 11 saw the team with the better record win 11 of the 12 games. The born-again Atlanta Falcons proving to be the lone exception with their comprehensive beatdown of the Carolina Pretenders... err, Panthers. The guys throw up some possible theories on where the Falcons turn around has come from and Nick cuts loose on the Panthers.
Week 12 kicks off with a blockbuster divisional game between the Colts and the Texans. The winner will take control of the AFC South and for the Colts open up a healthy game and half gap from the rest of the pack. Josh mentions the importance of T.Y Hilton in this game, noting that he averages over 127 yards at games played at NRG Stadium.

The Eagles look to keep their playoff hopes alive when they host the Seattle Seahawks and the crew all agree that it is a necessity for Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles to get their offense back on track after a lacklustre five weeks, against the 22nd ranked DVOA defense.
Nick then pounds the table stating that “the Baltimore Ravens are the best team in football” and provides a plethora of stats to back his take up. He also continues the trend of Saints players in his weekly long shot throwing up an Alvin Kamara play against the putrid Carolina run defense.
The Week 12 podcast looks at every matchup, and also features a small discussion on:
- why interceptions are overrated,
- why Dak Prescott is a legit MVP candidate,
- why Bill Belichick might be an actual psychopath, and;
- how Kyle Allen’s last two weeks are akin to Cinderella when the clock struck midnight.
As always the the show ends with all our Best Bets, Long Shots, a James money line parlay and a quick look at the Stats Insider model's favourite plays for Week 12.
