NFL Week 2 Pick Suggestions


I went 10-6 last week with the spread picks but I don't have anywhere near the same confidence as I did last weekend. I have a bad feeling about these.

5. New York Jets (-2 1/2) vs. New England Patriots
Do I really have a ton of confidence in the Jets winning this game? Hell no. Do I think you have to be criminally insane to bet this game? Ya pretty much. Neither you, me, Bill BEEEEELLLIIICHIIICK, Matt Cassel or probably God know how Matt Cassel is going to play this weekend. Betting on this game is stupid. With that being said the Jets are going to win. (Or probably make me cry / drink excessive amounts of beer)

4. New York Giants (-8 1/2) at St. Louis Rams
The Rams just lost 38-3 against the Eagles. The Giants are the defending champs, I don't care about 9 points or the road game, they're going to win and beat the spread easily.

3. New Orleans Saints (- 1/2) at Washington Redskins
Well they aren't going to tie, so this is a Pick 'em game. And since I think the Saints are going 14-2 and since the Redskins have no clue on offense right now, I'm picking the Saints.

2. Green Bay Packers (-2 1/2) at Detroit Lions
I have the Lions winning the division so I guess this would classify as a must win if that was to happen. But how could you pick a team that just gave up 300 yards on the ground to a perennial doormat. The Lions are awful.

1. Indianapolis Colts (-1 1/2) at Minnesota Vikings
Ok. 1) The Vikings are vastly overrated by everybody for some reason, perhaps the love of Purple Jesus. 2) The game is on the turf so no ill effects for the Colts. 3) Come on you really think the Colts are going to go 0-2?

Survivor League Pick: Seattle Seahawks

Um, I'm not very comfortable with any team this week to be completely honest. I hate taking the Seahawks cause they have zero wideouts. But they're playing at home against JT O'Sullivan they have to win right? Right?

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...
