Week 7 NFL Pick Suggestions

3-2 last week which is better than 2-3 but still not that fantastic.

1. New England Patriots (-14 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay Bucs (in London)
Tennessee has all but packed their bags and set up their January tee times, so the Pats 59-0 victory was a bit bloated last week. But the Bucs are doing the same thing, so why not just ride the Brady-Moss-Welker train one more time.

2. Indianapolis Colts (-13 1/2) at St. Louis Rams
Two touchdowns is a lot to give up, but the Rams are turrible. Bob Sanders is back so the Colts defense should be able to hold St. Louis to their typical 6 points. Peyton Manning will then take care of the rest. An as an addition the Colts are coming off a bye week. This game reeks 30 point victory.

3. Houston Texans (-3 1/2) vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Niners aren't the same without Gore pounding the rock, meanwhile the Texans led by Matt Schaub are throwing up 28 points a game. I think the Texans will win this one something like 27-20.

4. Atlanta Falcons (+3.5) at Dallas Cowboys
The Falcons are straight up a better team than the Cowboys. They've proven this season that they can win on he road and Michael Turner is beginning to regain his 2008 form. The Cowboys on the other hand are lucky, very lucky to have that third win under their belt. The Cowgirls are coming off a bye which makes me a bit hesitant on this pick, but I'm going to take it anyway.

5. Philadelphia Eagles (-7 1/2) at Washington Redskins
The rivalry game usually packs intensity and a close outcome but the Eagles desperately need this game and the Redskins are helping to pack up Zorn's office for his bye week firing.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Colts
Well this is a god damn gimmee. Week 7 and I still have the Colts available when they're playing the Rams. Ok, sign me up.

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...
