NFL Week 10 Pick Suggestions


Screw Mediocre, I'm aiming for piss poor.

5. Minnesota Vikings (+6 1/2) at Green Bay Packers
I've got my giant Purple Jesus blinders on right now. Sure the Packers defense is good, sure they stop the run typically, but its Adrian Peterson. He's going to keep his sorry teammates in the game and they should stick within a touchdown at the end.

4. Tennessee Titans (-4 1/2) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
At the beginning of the season the Jaguars looked like they could potentially challenge for the AFC South crown. And then their mediocre quarterback got injured and they are stuck with Quinn Gray a below mediocre quarterback. The Titans aren't at all flashy but they should win this game by a relatively comfortable margin.

3. Indianapolis Colts (-3 1/2) at San Diego Chargers
Sure the Colts could be set up for a let down game, but did you watch any of the Charger game last week? Their defense was pathetic against the run. And while Addai isn't Purple Jesus Brooks Bollinger is no Peyton Manning. The Colts should bounce back in impressive fashion.

2. Cincinnati Bengals (+5 1/2) vs. Baltimore Ravens
I'll admit it, I'm a stupid sucker for the Bengals. Every week I think they will perform and they fall short (except against the Jets of course). But the Ravens aren't any good either and a 5 1/2 point spread seems a bit too much for a team that's lucky to score 13 points in a game.

1. Detroit Lions(+1 1/2) at Arizona Cardinals
This spread is made out so that people take the Lions. Well I'm taking the bait. The Cardinals stink. Their offensive line once again disappoints, Kurt Warner is washed up and the Lions are just better all around.

Survivor League Pick: Death to Norv Chargers

Going to go with the Steelers who I surprisingly haven't selected yet this season. The Browns are playing well this season, but they aren't going to head into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers.

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.
