Week 10 NFL Pick Suggestions

The NFL Network is now playing a Thursday night game every week, which just throws everything off. I need to remember to set my roster on Thursday. I need to get my picks in by thursday. All for the crap matchup they show us every Thursday night.

1. Jacksonville Jaguars (+6 1/2) at New York Jets
The glass is half empty in this neighborhood. Why are the Jets giving 6 1/2 to a team that has the same exact record as them? I'm hoping the bye week will straighten their asses out, but my hopes aren't through the roof.

2. Denver Broncos(-4 1/2) at Washington Redskins
Ha Broncos, I finally got you right last week, however, this week I'm going with you. The Broncos are only giving 4 1/2? Am I missing something? Bookies know the Reskins are terrible right?

3. Minnesota Vikings (-16 1/2) vs. Detroit Lions
16 1/2 is a shit load of points. I understand this. I also understand that the Lions defense is terrible and that the Vikings just might score on every single offensive possession.

4. New Orleans Saints (-13.5) at St. Louis Rams
The Saints have snuck by the past few weeks but that has been against division rivals that know them incredibly well. Against the Rams, Drew Brees will once again go wild.

5. Dallas Cowboys (-2 1/2) at Green Bay Packers
This game should be close but I'm pretty confident that the Cowgirls will pull it out. The Pack can't block and eventually DeMarcus Ware is going to make a huge game changing play that will make all the difference.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Saints
The Saints are undefeated. The Rams are 1-7. This is automatic right? I hope.

How about a Patriots / Colts comparison? Probably too late but Sunday night is looking like one of the top games of the season.

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...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
