NFL Week 7 Pick Suggestions

I feel the mediocre results already.

5. Detroit Lions (-1 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I'm going to keep betting against Tampa Bay in the #5 spot until I'm right. The Lions really shouldn't be the favorite in this game, but I don't care, eventually Tampa is going to show people that they really aren't good and that starts now.

4. New England Patriots (-17 1/2) at Miami Dolphins
Their top two running backs might be out this weekend, but really is that relevant? Do they even really need to run the football? Can't Tom Brady just throw 50 times for 420 yards and 5 tds? And will the Dolphins even threaten to score this weekend?

3. Tennessee Titans (-1 1/2) at Houston Texans
Homecoming for Vince Young? Vince Young is a big game quarterback and last year he had a nice homecoming, my guess is that this weekend, quad injury or not, he straps on the pads and drops the Texans.

2. New York Jets (+6 1/2) at Cincinnati Bengals
The Jets are going to lose this game on the final possession when Mike Nugent either shanks the game tying field goal or Chad Pennington throws a duck which is intercepted while attempting to get into the end zone. Thus they lose by 3, I'll take the points and more misery.

1. Minnesota Vikings (+9 1/2) at Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys are a very good team, and should put up a boatload of points this weekend in a bounce back game. However, you just do not give Purple Jesus 9 1/2 points, it's insulting and because of that he will rush for 150 yards.

Continuing the hot streak now that you douched thousands of people over.

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...

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...
