NFL Week 9 Pick Suggestions

I notice that I tend to lean to heavily towards the favorites every week. I did so again this week, so with the way things have been going I'd expect another .500 week.

5. Atlanta Falcons (-5 1/2) at Detroit Lions

Two reasons why the Falcons are a solid pick this weekend, 1) Vick is playing out of his mind and and he will remain indoors in Detroit and will not have to be bothered with poor conditions. 2) The Lions defense is absolutely positivily atrocious.

4. St. Louis Rams (-2 1/2) vs. Kansas City Chiefs

This game will most likely be a shootout and while I expect Larry Johnson to go off I expect Bulger and Steven Jackson coming off a bye week to more than hold their own in the scorefest and move to 5-3. Damon Huard is bound to have a bad game eventually.

3. New York Giants (-13 1/2) vs. Houston Texans

So what have the Giants been doing incredibly well these past few weeks, rush the passer. And what have the Texans been absolutely terrible at doing for their franchises history, protect the passer. Seeing a theme for this game. David Carr's going to need a long Ice Bath following the game sunday.

2. Green Bay Packers (+3 1/2) at Buffalo Bills

I repeat, I really don't think the Packers are that bad of a team this season. The Bills on the other hand have JP Losman at QB. And while Buffalo's chills are normally a solid homefield advantage, who plays better in the cold in the history of the NFL than Brett Favre.

1. Chicago Bears (-13 1/2) vs. Miami Dolphins

Joey Harrington against he Bears defense? Wow that should be entertaining, maybe Grossman plays like garbage to keep the Bears close in this game, but I highly doubt that and expect the Bears to have similar results against the Dolphins as they did with the Niners.

New Orleans (-1 1/2) at Tampa Bay ... Bounce back for Bush, Brees and co.
Tennessee (+9 1/2) at Jacksonville ... Garrard does not equal potent Offense
Cincinatti (+3 1/2) at Baltimore ... Ocho Cinco smashes Ray in the mouth
Dallas (-3 1/2) at Washington ... Washington is a carcuss
Minnesota (-6 1/2) at San Fran ... Niners just that bad
San Diego (-12 1/2) vs. Cleveland ... Whale's Vagina finding swagger
Denver (+2 1/2) at Pitt ... What makes you think Cheeseburger plays well
New England (-2 1/2) vs. Indy ... Peyton in NE = bad news
Oakland (+8 1/2) at Seattle ... Oaklands defense actually decent

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

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...
