NFL Week 5 Pick Suggestions

5. Philadelphia Eagles (-2 1/2) vs. Dallas Cowboys

I've learned towards the Cowboys for the whole season as a better team than the Eagles until basically this morning. Here's the thing, McNabb is simply a better player than TO right now, and while TO will most likely have a good game I just see McNabb as incredibly motivated perhaps more motivated than he ever has been, and this will be one time he performs under the pressure. Westbrook will play this week and have a big week and 2 1/2 is nothing to give up. Ride Donovan take the points and enjoy.

4. New York Giants (-4 1/2) vs. Washington Redskins

Here's one thing about Eli through his career that has always stacked up, he plays better in the Meadowlands than on the road. Much better. Last year in Giants Stadium the Giants crushed the Redskins and I expect the Gmen to bounce back prove that they're still a contender and hush all the critics that have been putting them down. Take the Gmen give the points and enjoy a smooth ride.

3. Chicago Bears (-10 1/2) vs. Buffalo Bills

Buffalo has been a pleasant surpirse thus far this year, but their headed into Soldier field and they will not score double digits on the Bears, meaning the Bears will only need 20 points which I think they will get on the Bills. Ride the Rex train and enjoy.

2. New Orleans Saints (-6 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa is starting a rookie qb from Toledo that you I and nobody has ever watched play except for maybe Mahoney, but even that's questionable. Chris Simms wasn't good the first few weeks but there's no reason to not expect Bruce to be worse. And the Saints will still be pumped up at home. Give the points and enjoy.

1. St. Louis Rams (- 2 1/2) at Green Bay Packers

Alright Brett Favre is knicked up, Ahman Green is knicked up the Pack got torched in the second half defenslively last week, and had a short week to prepare for the Rams. Everything says take the Rams, give the 2 1/2 points which is nothing and enjoy.

Indianapolis (-18 1/2) vs. Tennessee ... That's a lot of points, but Ten blows
Detroit (+6 1/2) at Minnesota ... Minnesota can't score, their O is terrible
Carolina (-8 1/2) vs. Cleveland ... Cleveland out both CBs = 150 yds for Smith
New England (-9 1/2) vs. Miami ... 0-4 on going with Miami, reverse the curse
Oakland (+3 1/2) at San Fran ... Not much of a road game, maybe Randy shows up
Kansas City (-3 1/2) at Arizona ... Like Leinart, just not week 1
New York Jets(+7 1/2) at Jacksonville ... Jet Homer, still getting lots o points
San Diego (-3 1/2) vs. Pittsburgh ... Big Ben won't turn it around yet
Denver (-4 1/2) vs. Baltimore ... Time for the Ravens to lose

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...
