Week 4 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.

A little bounce back last week, hopefully this week is a full fledge jump in the right direction.

1. Houston Texans (-9 1/2) vs. Oakland Raiders
The Texans offense is sure to put up 28 points which means the Raiders offense would have to put up at least 20 to beat the spread. JaMarcius Russell is lucky if he completes 20% of his passes nevermind scores 20 points. The Raiders are terrible.

2. Dallas Cowboys (-3 1/2) at Denver Broncos
I know the Cowboys seemingly get a few more points than they should every week thanks to the countless amounts of front runners in our nation, but I still like them to beat the Broncos by more than 4. I'm sorry but I don't believe in the Broncos 3-0 record at all. I think they are the worst 3-0 team in the history of football and that their slide starts this weekend.

3. Detroit Lions (+10 1/2) at Chicago Bears
The Bears have won their last two games late in the 4th quarter via a late score, granted the vcitories came against potentially solid teams, but 10 1/2 points still seems like way too much for them to give.

4. San Diego Chargers (+5.5) at Pittsburgh Steelers
Without Polamalu getting in their way the Chargers will be able to put up points. They'll be able to keep the game close at in the final quarter and I think like the Bengals last week will put together a game winning drive.

5. New York Giants (-9 1/2) at Kansas City Chiefs
The offense of the Chiefs is poor and with the Giants coming off the absolute destruction of the Bucs should be able to replicate that performance this week. The Giants are very very good.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Giants
You can pick the Giants this week or next given their next two games are against the Chiefs and Raiders. This week I think the safe money is on them to cruise to an easy victory so I'm not going to wait.

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...
