NFL Week 7 Pick Suggestions

5. Washington Redskins (+9 1/2) at Indianapolis Colts

This is now the Redskins season its all or nothing this game, they lose and they might as well pack it up cause they aren't about to go 8-1 down the stretch. That is why I don't foresee this game being a blowout. In addition the Colts still have no idea how to stop the run, giving Portis ample opportunities to succeed, and also the Colts have failed to crush both the Jets and the Titans this season, why would you believe they are going to crunch the Skins.

4. New York Giants (+3 1/2) at Dallas Cowboys

I believe the Giants are the better team all around. Tiki will be motivated to run around the Cowboys defense and best of all you are getting a field goal to protect against a last second win by the Cowboys.

3. San Diego Chargers (-5 1/2) at Kansas City Chiefs

Normally I wouldn't pick against the Chiefs playing at home as usually they are very dangerous in Arrowhead but lets face it they are still starting Damon Huard and he's not good. LJ is a little banged up and the Chargers are arguably the best team in the NFL.

2. New England Patriots (-5 1/2) at Buffalo Bills

I got this wrong the first week of the season when I put my stock in Tom Brady against the Bills but this time will be different and the Pats will cover the spread. I don't think asking for a touchdown victory over a bad Bills team is too much to ask.

1. Green Bay Packers (+4 1/2) at Miami Dolphins

Ok someone please explain to me how/why the Dolphins who are a 1-5 team and have only beaten the Titans by 3 points are favored by more than a field goal in any game. It really makes no logical sense. Throw in the fact that the Dolphins are starting Joey Harrington at QB (as am I in fantasy, bye week, ugh) and the Packers getting Ahman Green back this week and this is an easy pick.

Houston (+9 1/2) vs. Jacksonville ... Texans usually play Jax well
Carolina (+3 1/2) at Cincy ... 4-0 with Smith and getting 3 1/2
NYJ (-3 1/2) vs. Detroit ... Avoid this game like the plague, Jet Homer Selection
Tampa Bay (+5 1/2) vs. Philadelphia ... Bucs playing well with Grad lose by FG
Pittsburgh (-1 1/2) at Atlanta ... Vick gets smothered
Denver (-5 1/2) at Cleveland .. Eventually the Broncos will score some points
Arizona (-3 1/2) at Oakland ... Bad feeling about this, but Raiders still w/Walter
Minny (-6 1/2) at Seattle .. Apparently I actually picked the Vikings

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...
