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.

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...
