NFL Week 15 Pick Suggestions

I actually didn't suck last week. Wooo. Maybe I can not suck for two weeks in a row.

1. Miami Dolphins (-3 1/2) at Tennessee Titans
With Vince Young questionable to go, I think the Dolphins will be able to keep this game tight and I like them to actually win by a point or two. At the very least I like getting the 3 1/2 points.

2. New England Patriots (-7 1/2) at Buffalo Bills
The Bills are terrible, the Pats need to prove to themselves that they can win a road game this year and Randy Moss should actually be motivated to stop being a douche. The Pats should roll Buffalo comfortably.

3. Minnesota Vikings (-7 1/2) at Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are starting Matt Moore at quarterback. The Vikings need another win to clinch the division and to continue their separation from the Eagles for the NFC bye. The Vikings should cruise.

4. San Diego Chargers (-6 1/2) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Chargers are on fire and the Bengals are sputtering. This matchup is huge for the Chargers as a W will essentially lock up a bye. A loss against the Bengals and the Chargers will need to start pulling for the Chiefs and/or the Jets in the coming weeks. Phillip won't need to watch those games however as they will pick up a W sunday.

5. New York Jets (-6.5) vs. Atlanta Falcons
I don't really love this line, but I've picked the Jets twice in a row in this spot and they've come through, so... We're going through with the pick again.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Damn You Bengals
The Houston Texans are playing the Rams, it's a done deal.

The rest of the picks after the jump.

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.
