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.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
