NFL Week 17 Pick Suggestions

The last weekend of the season provides confusion all around. Will the Bengals, Pats, Packers, Chargers, Colts all sit guys? I have no idea. This week is a crapshoot.

1. Tennessee Titans (-4 1/2) at Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have packed it in this season while the Titans will be eager to get Chris Johnson a W and end this disappointing season on a high note.

2. Cleveland Browns (-1 1/2) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jags need to win and get boatloads of help to get into the playoffs. Problem is they aren't a good team and the Browns will save Mangini's job and get him a W.

3. Kansas City Chiefs (+12 1/2) at Denver Broncos
Last time the two played the Chiefs were miserably embarrassed. This week is their playoff game though and behind Charles I expect them to keep it close.

4. Oakland Raiders (+10 1/2) vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Raiders have been decent at home and have pulled off a few shockers already this season. Could they shock the Ravens and knock them out of the playoffs? Probably not but they should keep it close.

5. Minnesota Vikingss (-8.5) vs. New York Giants
The Giants have packed it in. They are done. They will get torched this weekend.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Damn You Bengals
The Jets because I might as well just go for it.

The rest of the picks after the jump.

FWIW: (3) and (4) should be plus the points.

Have a great new year.

There is no way Jacksonville is going to finish off the season with a loss to the Browns.. i know they have won 3 straight, but its just not going to happen.. getting back to .500 is much more important

and the Ravens will stomp the Raiders 31 -13

best of luck this week and great work all season.. ive enjoyed reading your blogs..

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...
