Week 2 NFL Pick Suggestions Brought to You by SportsIntensity

This years NFL Picks are brought to you by SportsIntensity your place for live NFL betting lines.

Week 1 is done, and while picking the winners was easy, its time to pick the spreaders at a higher clip in week 2.

1. Indianapolis Colts (-3 1/2) at Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins really aren't that good. They won the division last year playing and beating poor teams. This year they will finish near the bottom of the division playing a difficult schedule. The beatdowns started last week with the loss to Atlanta, and will continue this week with the thrashing at the hands of Peyton.

2. Pittsburgh Steelers (-2 1/2) at Chicago Bears
The Super Bowl champs vs. a team who just lost their defensive captain for the season in week 1. I would have picked this game even if Urlacher was playing and Cutler didn't throw nine interceptions last week. 2 1/2 points is nothing and picking the Steelers is where the safe money resides.

3. Carolina Panthers (+6 1/2) at Atlanta Falcons
The Panthers looked miserable in week 1 but most of that came from the Del Homie throwing the ball to the wrong team. He does that every so often. This weekend he'll return to throwing the ball to the right team and he will keep the game close.

4. Tennessee Titans (-7.5) vs. Houston Texans
From what I saw last week against the Jets, the Texans might be in for a long season. Their offense looked stagnant and inable to protect the quarterback. Against Tennesse and their premier defense, if Week 1 is any indication, they are in for a hurting.

5. New York Jets (+5 1/2) vs. New England Patriots
Homerism and optimism has me thinking that maybe just maybe the Jets will keep this game close on sunday. It's a hope and perhaps a prayer, but the Jets defense did crush Schaub on play after play so hopefully the front 7 domination continues.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Redskins
The Rams proved pretty well in week 1 that they are a miserable team, and while betting against Detroit seems like the smart money on a week to week basis, I'm guessing that eventually they will break their season + losing streak and shock a team. So we're going Redskins at home against the miserable Rams.

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...
