NFL Week 4 Pick Suggestions

Honestly I think this is a much harder week than the past two, I think there are less obvious games and it was tough for me to pick 5 that I am confident in. And really I don't think any game is a 100% lock.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars (-2 1/2) at Washington Redskins

Yes, I am down on the Redskins, Brunnel is not any good and the Jaguars defense will swarm all over the field and shut down the Redskins mediocre and overrated offense. Expect the jaguars to win by one or two field goals.

4. Miami Dolphins (-4 1/2) at Houston Texans

Miami is going to cover the spread eventually this season right? Right? The Texans have the worst defense in the league and if Culpepper doesn't put up big TD numbers this week he never will and the Dolphins should start Joey the Wonder Boy Harrington. The Dolphins should dominate this game else, they aren't going anywhere this season.

3. Minnesota Vikings (+1 1/2) at Buffalo Bills

I know I've been down on the Vikings all season and I do not really think they are any good but the Bills are definately not a good team, its not the wintery homefield advantage yet in Buffalo and the Vikings should win this game straight up, I'm almost shocked they are the underdog.

2. Seattle Seahawks (+3 1/2) vs. Chicago Bears

I think the Seahawks are the best team in the NFC, and despite the loss of Alexander this week I think their underrated defense shuts down the Bears offense and Rex makes a bunch of mistakes. At most the Bears win this game by a field goal but I truly think the Seahawks firmly establish their NFC supremacy and Hasselbeck has a big game with their strong receiving core.

1. St. Louis Rams (-5 1/2) vs. Detroit Lions

Can't we firmly establish that the Lions are a horrendous team, absolutely terrible. Going into St. Louis I don't think they're going to lose by anything less than a touchdown. Don't read anything into Martz going back to St. Louis either as he chokes in any game that is remotely important.

San Francisco (+7 1/2) at Kansas City ... Damon Huard and 7 1/2 points come on
Dallas (-9 1/2) at Tennessee ... TO with two TDs and one overdose
NY Jets (+9 1/2) vs. Indy ... Jet Homer I'll take the points
New Orleans (+6 1/2) at Carolina ... 3-0 + 6 1/2 = take em
Atlanta (-7 1/2) vs. Arizona ... Vick with a bounce back game
San Diego (-2 1/2) at Baltimore ... Not a Raven believer
Cleveland (-2 1/2) at Oakland ... It's like picking Syphilis over Chlamydia
New England (+6 1/2) at Cincinatti ... New England won't get crunch 2 in a row
Green Bay (+10 1/2) at Philadelphia ... Favre throws one INT or less loses by 10

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
