NFL Week 9 Pick Suggestions

This is a week where we pick on all the miserable teams in the league... Except for the Lions of course.

5. Detroit Lions (+12 1/2) at Chicago Bears
The Lions missed three straight covers last week by a .5 a point. They get back on the losing games but covering the spread trail this week.

4. Arizona Cardinals (-2 1/2) at St. Louis Rams
Homecoming for Kurt in St. Louis means lots of tds for the offense. In addition SJax is questionable which means the Cards should cruise to a td victory.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-8 1/2) at Kansas City Chiefs
The Jets played 100% miserable after several arm punts by the gun slinger and yet they still won. Jeff Garcia and the Bucs need to bounce back this week after their poor showing against Dallas and they will win by double digits.

2. Jacksonville Jaguars (-7 1/2) at Cincinnati Bengals
The Jaguars are still a good team right? I mean they have the same running backs the same line and the same Q, why aren't they dominating on the ground again? And why is Fred Taylor the most useless fantasy running back in history. They're going to win this week by a lot cause the Bengals are pitiful.

1. Philadelphia Eagles (-6 1/2) at Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks are terrible. They won last week because the 49ers are really terrible. The Eagles need to continue to win and everything is turning up Philly this week. Eagles absolutely dominate and McNabb (newly acquired via trade for TO and others) will lead me to fantasy victories.

Survivor League Pick: SCREW Seattle
Sorry Dan-O but pick the Bears to beat the Lions.

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...
