Week 7 NFL Pick Suggestions

3-2 last week which is better than 2-3 but still not that fantastic.

1. New England Patriots (-14 1/2) vs. Tampa Bay Bucs (in London)
Tennessee has all but packed their bags and set up their January tee times, so the Pats 59-0 victory was a bit bloated last week. But the Bucs are doing the same thing, so why not just ride the Brady-Moss-Welker train one more time.

2. Indianapolis Colts (-13 1/2) at St. Louis Rams
Two touchdowns is a lot to give up, but the Rams are turrible. Bob Sanders is back so the Colts defense should be able to hold St. Louis to their typical 6 points. Peyton Manning will then take care of the rest. An as an addition the Colts are coming off a bye week. This game reeks 30 point victory.

3. Houston Texans (-3 1/2) vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Niners aren't the same without Gore pounding the rock, meanwhile the Texans led by Matt Schaub are throwing up 28 points a game. I think the Texans will win this one something like 27-20.

4. Atlanta Falcons (+3.5) at Dallas Cowboys
The Falcons are straight up a better team than the Cowboys. They've proven this season that they can win on he road and Michael Turner is beginning to regain his 2008 form. The Cowboys on the other hand are lucky, very lucky to have that third win under their belt. The Cowgirls are coming off a bye which makes me a bit hesitant on this pick, but I'm going to take it anyway.

5. Philadelphia Eagles (-7 1/2) at Washington Redskins
The rivalry game usually packs intensity and a close outcome but the Eagles desperately need this game and the Redskins are helping to pack up Zorn's office for his bye week firing.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Colts
Well this is a god damn gimmee. Week 7 and I still have the Colts available when they're playing the Rams. Ok, sign me up.

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...
