NFL Week 16 Pick Suggestions

Not particularly a thursday night thriller, but the great thing about this holiday season is that instead of conversing with my family on christmas and christmas eve, instead I will be immersed in football and will be able to avoid any of those boring conversations such as how is work going, or the blanket whats new question. Hooray Football.

5. Indianapolis Colts (- 9 1/2) at Houston Texans

The Colts appeared to have regained their momentum after their impressive monday night showing while the Texans seemingly get worse every single week. David Carr has lost his confidence and is continually making poor decisions. I expect the the Colts to pound the Texans in similar fashion as did the Pats last week.

4. Atlanta Falcons (-6 1/2) vs. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers are a dead carcuss while the Falcons control their destiny. Coming off the beatdown at home that the Panthers had last week the might as well not show up for any of the remainder of the games this season. The Falcons play much better at home than they do on the road, and I expect Vick to have back to back solid weeks.

3. Chicago Bears (-4 1/2) at Detroit Lions

Yes I do know that the Bears have locked everything up and that this game is pretty much meaningless to them, but fact it is very meaningful to the Lions. Lose and you're one game away from Brady Quinn. Yes that's right, you hold the tie-breaker over the Raiders because of the fact you play in a worse division and have a worse opponents winning %. Keep on losin in the Motor City.

2. Philadelphia Eagles (+6 1/2) at Dallas Cowboys

I see no reason to doubt the Eagles, they keep on winning and they even have proven themselves on the road within the division with Jeff Garcia. I'm not saying that I fully expect them to win this game, just think it will be a hard fought down to the wire type game and that 6 1/2 is way too many points to give to the Romoboys.

1. Baltimore Ravens (+3 1/2) at Pittsburgh Steelers

McNair has returned to the practice field and thus should suit up for this weekends matchup. Right now the Steelers would like nothing more than to knock off their divisional opponents in the final weeks of the season but the Ravens have too much to play for this weekend, and will come focused and force Three Day Old Cheeseburger to make the mistakes which have put the Steelers at 7-7 this season.

Minnesota (+3 1/2) at Green Bay ... Two Words: Tarvaris Jackson
Kansas City (-6 1/2) at Oakland ... It's the Raiders nuff said
Washington (+2 1/2) at St. Louis ... Ladell Betts es en fuego
Jacksonville (-2 1/2) vs. New England ... Beat good teams lose to bad ones, continues
New York Giants (-3 1/2) vs. New Orleans ... G-Men finally come up big
Cleveland (-3 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay ... Rattay one week wonder
Buffalo (-4 1/2) vs. Tennessee ... Hot Home Team vs. Hot Road Team
Arizona (+3 1/2) at San Francisco ... Bounce back for Leinart
San Diego (-4 1/2) at Seattle ... LT vs. Seattle Run D, Advantage Whale's Vagina
Cincinnati (+2 1/2) at Denver ... Sucker for Cincy
New York Jets (+2 1/2) at Miami ... Homer Pick

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...
