NFL Week 8 Pick Suggestions

Ugh, I really don't like this weeks spreads that much.

5. Cincinatti Bengals (-4 1/2) vs. Atlanta Falcons

In Ocho Cinco I trust. Probably a dumb move considering this could be a very close game, but I really think its about time that the Bengals go out and score an assload of points. It happened practically every week last year and hasn't happened at all this year. Ocho Cinco is going to score a td this week.

4. New England Patriots (-2 1/2) at Minnesota Vikings

The Patriots are a frontrunner for the Super Bowl this year. Let me repeat once again the Patriots are going to be a team to be reckonned with in January. On Monday night they'll go into the dome, wipe out the Vikings, and then people on sportscenter will proclaim that they played good but they could still use a big time wideout.

3. New York Jets (+1 1/2) at Cleveland Browns

I'm pretty surprised that the Jets are not favored in this game. Its not as if the Browns have done anything this season to deserve being favored in any game that doesn't involve a team from the San Francisco Bay Area. The Jets may not be the best team in the league but they have a much more reliable QB than do the Browns and they don't even need to blow them out.

2. Green Bay Packers (-3 1/2) vs. Arizona Cardinals

I really don't think the Packers are that bad of a team this season. The Cardinals on the other hand have a coach who has a few weeks away from being fired, no offensive line, an injured top wideout, and just lost to the Raiders last week by a lot.

1. New Orleans Saints (-2 1/2) vs. Baltimore Ravens

McNair is questionable and even if he isn't the Saints O is simply ten times better than the Ravens offense. And even though the Ravens are better on D it won't matter. Homefield for the Saints and the chance that they may be facing a team QBed by Kyle Boller is enough for me.

Kansas City (-5 1/2) vs. Seattle ... Avoid this as Huard may not play
Chicago (-16 1/2) vs. San Francisco ... Bounce back for Rex?
New York Giants (-9 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay ... Was going to take TB, changed my mind.
Oakland (+8 1/2) vs. Pittsburgh ... Bad Decision???
Houston (+3 1/2) at Tennessee ... Battle o' dog poo
Philadelphia (-6 1/2) vs. Jacksonville ... Jax have QB and Offense problems
St. Louis (+8 1/2) at San Diego ... Media overhyping A Whale's Vagina
Denver (-2 1/2) vs. Indianapolis ... Peyton no play well in Denver
Carolina (-4 1/2) vs. Dallas ... Romo's ribs in pain

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...
