Week 5 NFL Pick Suggestions Brought to You by SportsIntensity

This years NFL Picks are brought to you by SportsIntensity your place for live NFL betting lines.

A little bounce back last week, hopefully this week is a full fledge jump in the right direction.

1. New England Patriots (-3 1/2) at Denver Broncos
I'm sorry but I shall continue to not believe in the Broncos and pick against them because I do not believe in any team where Kyle Orton is an essential piece. Thus I pick the Patriots to win by 4+ despite traveling to Denver.

2. Minnesota Vikings (-10 1/2) at St. Louis Rams
The Rams just lost 35-0 to a team that lost the prior week to the Vikings. Now I know the Degrees of Loss Separation aren't full proof (or even 50%), but the Vikings should beat the Rams by at least 17. And it should't be a question.

3. Jacksonville Jaguars (+ 1/2) at Seattle Seahawks
Matt Hasselbeck is questionable for the game. If he plays, the game will be close. If he does not, the Jags should be able to score at will against the banged up Seahawks and at the same time hold Seneca to a few scrap 4th quarter tds.

4. Kansas City Chiefs (+8.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys
I didn't listen to my own advice last week, "The Cowboys are always overrated in the spread." Now the Chiefs do suck, they suck a lot. But have the Cowboys done anything this season to say "Touchdown plus Road Favorites"? No.

5. Pittsburgh Steelers (-10 1/2) at Detroit Lions
The Steelers are still without Troy, which means the Lions will likely score their share of points. The problem is the Steelers should score at will, much like the Bears did last week.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Eagles
There are so many options to choose from each week. Whomever plays the Rams. Whomever plays the Raiders. Womever plays the Cheifs. Whomever plays the Bucs. We're going with the Eagles. They're going to win easily.

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.
