NFL Week 5 Pick Suggestions


Because the suggestive picks were so bad last week (1-4) I'm doing it at random. Odd numbers between 3 and 11 on the ESPN picks.

5. New York Giants (-3 1/2) vs. New York Jets
Why? Because the Jets are pissing me off by their inability to close games. In addition the Jets should be exhausted with the lengthy travel time this weekend from their homes to the Meadowlands.

4. New England Patriots (-15 1/2) vs. Cleveland Browns
I'm unsure if they will put out a spread yet this season in which I will not think that the Patriots will cover. My guess is that I would be best served just picking them every single week regardless of the total points they are forced to give.

3. Atlanta Falcons (+8 1/2) at Tennessee Titans
Vince Young's squad always seems to win games but they don't seem to due it in blow out fashion. Yes the Falcons suck. But I'm going to be dumb and go with Joey on this one hoping that his two touchdowns thrown go to Falcons and not Titans.

2. Seattle Seahawks (+6 1/2) at Pittsburgh Steelers
The Seahawks have been relatively good this season. And they have made all their games close except for their beatdown of the Niners last week. So lets bank on the Seahawks again keeping the games close.

1. Baltimore Ravens (-3 1/2) at San Francisco 49ers
Alex Smith isn't that good. Vernon Davis hasn't shown himself to be that good. But they are both out and eventually you have to think that the Ravens defense learns how to step it up. At least this week they can focus their entirety on stuffing Frank Gore at the line. It won't be complicated.

Survivor League Pick: Death to Norv Chargers

I lost last week so what does it friggin matter. I hope one of those lightning bolts on a Chargers helmet finds it way to Norv's ass crack.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
