NFL Week 6 Pick Suggestions

And the NFL spreads are starting to get larger and larger each week. I think I went with slightly too many favorites this week but we'll see.


5. Cincinatti Bengals (-6 1/2) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Fool me once Bruce, now its time to fool me twice. The Bengals are a scoring machine the Bucs need to play superb defense to shutdown the Bengals don't think it's going to happen.

4. Dallas Cowboys (-10 1/2) at Houston Texans

The Cowboys desperately need to bounce back this week and they run up against the perfect opponent to make Drew Bledsoe look again like a serviceable quarterback. The Texans will make the Cowboys offense look potent again and for yet another week good ole #1 Draft pick anti-SuperMario will do nada.

3. Washington Redskins (-9 1/2) vs. Tennessee Titans

Yes this is an enormous spread but here is what the Redskins have shown this season, that they are terrible against good teams but trounce bad teams. Just look at the Texans and Dolphins scores. Tennessee qualifies as a bad team and thus I expect the Redskins to win by double digits.

2. Chicago Bears (-10 1/2) at Arizona Cardinals

The Bears have been by far the best team in the NFL and are currently leading the NFL in points scored and points allowed. Thats a pretty good combo. I think it's a lot to ask of Matt Leinart to keep this game competetive. I expect a two touchdown victory for the Bears.

1. Philadelphia Eagles (-3 1/2) at New Orleans Saints

Barring a 4th quarter collapse against the Giants and the Eagles would be pushing the Bears as the best team in the NFL. While I expect the Saints to be up for this game and they are a much improved team and I expect them to push for the wild card and the division I just think that McNabb is too hot to be stopped and the Eagles will cover the small spread.

Seattle (-3 1/2) at St. Louis ... Huge need for the Seahawks, expect a bounce back
New York Giants (+2 1/2) at Atlanta ... Giants have enough LB speed to fluster Vick
Detroit (+1 1/2) vs. Buffalo ... They'll get stupid close to 40
Carolina (+2 1/2) at Baltimore ... Baltimore is overrated
Whale's Vagina (-10 1/2) at San Fran ... Too much Rivers
Pittsburgh (-6 1/2) vs. Kansas City ... Bounce back for 3 day old cheeseburger
New York Jets (-2 1/2) vs. Miami ... Been wrong on Miami 5 weeks, make it 6?
Denver (-16 1/2) vs. Oakland ... Holy momma that's a point spread

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...
