Week 3 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.

Ugh, week 2 was Turrible. I need to bounce back in a big way in Week 3.

1. New England Patriots (-4 1/2) vs. Atlanta Falcons
Brady was off his game last week and he wasn't exactly in tip top form in week 1 either. Is the rust still thick or will he break out and lead the Pats to a big offensive showing at home against the Falcons. I think it's time Brady gets it done.

2. Denver Broncos (+1 1/2) at Oakland Raiders
This is a sucker bet right? I think the Broncos are terrible and possibly the worst 2-0 team of all time, but getting points against the Raiders? The same Raiders who had JaMarcus Russell throw for just 42 yards throughout the majority of last weeks game? At the very least the Broncos defense has looked good in back to back weeks and I'm guessing this is a low scoring ugly football game that the Broncos squeek out.

3. Carolina Panthers (+9 1/2) at Dallas Cowboys
I failed with them last week and I'm going to fail with them again this week. The Cowboys favored by 9 1/2 is begging you to take the Panthers, and I'm going to fall for it. The Panthers still have Stewart and Williams and are very very desperate to get a W in Jerrah's house. I think they keep it close but still lose.

4. Houston Texans (-3.5) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
I know the Jags will be desperate to get a win to avoid the 0-3 start, but something leads me to beleive that at a given point last season the Jags team lost faith in Del Rio as a head coach and now are just a team without fire. Meanwhile, the Texans managed to win a football game last week despite letting Chris Johnson run up and down the field for 60 minutes. I think the Texans manage to win this game by 4+.

5. Detroit Lions (+6 1/2) vs. Washington Redskins
I'm not going to go out on a limb and say that the Lions are going to get off the schnide and beat definitely beat the Redskins this weekend, but they have a chance and I'm willing to say its going to be a close game. It's obvious the Skins have no idea what to do with their offense after ten weeks, and with Calvin Johnson the Lions will put up at least 13 points which should keep them within the 6 1/2 spread margin.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Ravens
The Ravens are 2-0 and coming off their big win in San Diego get the lowly Browns at home. They beat the Browns twice last season and thus far through two games the Browns offense has produced nada. The Ravens should be able to take care of business at home this weekend.

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...
