The Punt Return: Week 14 - The Curious Case of Nick Foles, Riverboat Ron and the Best RB in the NFL

The boys are back after a disastrous Week 13 of NFL betting, with upsets galore and nothing going to script, except for the Stats Insider model, which had a very solid week of projections.

Luckily the season has still been incredibly profitable for all three lads, with records in the black across the board.

Before getting stuck into Week 14 action, the boys chat College Football and the annual Ray Guy Award, presented to the NCAA's most outstanding CFB Punter. Australia's own Dane Roy, friend of Woot & Wye, and Stats Insider's College Football correspondent on the ground, has been announced as one of the three finalists for the award after a phenomenal season for the University of Houston Cougars. Dane comes up against another Australian in former Fremantle Docker, Max Duffy of Kentucky.

He's a ripper bloke, so vote for Dane (or Max... but really, Dane!) at the Ray Guy Award Fan Vote website.

Josh asks, "What now for Nick Foles?" after the Jags' $88 million man was benched for rookie, Gardner Minshew, who filled in admirably when Foles was injured earlier in the season. He also takes the NFL 100 list to task, specifically calling out the decision to not even nominate Justin Tucker at kicker, and the selection of Patrick Peterson over Richard Sherman at CB.

The number one question on Nick's mind is around the disappointment of what promised to be an elite battle between Philadelphia and Dallas in the NFC East. While the Division is still open for the taking to both teams - and somehow Washington - the two Playoff hopefuls have had disastrous seasons and might be left ruing missed opportunities come Wildcard weekend.

James welcomes 'the reckoning' to NFL coaching ranks following Week 13. with the Carolina Panthers HC, 'Riverboat' Ron Rivera, the first domino to fall, pointing to an offseason where up to a quarter of the league's franchises could be looking for a new head coach.

Listen to the podcast for all the discussion on every team and every matchup, while the 'Lock of the Day' is a player prop - for the first time in Punt Return history - with who Nick and James surmise might actually be the best running back in the NFL at the moment.

The lads are back on the horse with plays for every game in Week 14, featuring the Best Bets, Long Shots, player props and DFS plays to help you get an edge over the competition, or the bookmakers.

Finally, Nick rolls through the Stats Insider NFL model results and plays for the week, remembering that the podcast is recorded on a Thursday afternoon, leaving plenty of time for the model to evolve and develop as more information becomes available to identify value against the market.
