Week 8 NFL Pick Suggestions

The first 4-1 week of the year came last week so why not improve it to 5-0 this week.

1. Denver Broncos (+3 1/2) at Baltimore Ravens
I've lost on the Broncos I think every week this season, so we're changing gears, the Broncos are great all hail the Broncos. They are being disresepected, give them 3 1/2 points? They won't need it they will win by 1.

2. Detroit Lions (-3 1/2) vs. St. Louis Rams
The Lions are favored in a football game, the world is about to melt into its core. It actually does make sense though, they are at home and the Rams are that bad.

3. Minnesota Vikings (+3 1/2) at Green Bay Packers
Simply put the last time these two teams played it was evident that the Vikings were the better team. The Vikings offense was able to move the ball behind Brett Favre and Jared Allen was able to knock Rodgers on his ass at will. I don't see how a change a of scenery has given the Vikings 3 points.

4. Cleveland Browns (+13.5) at Chicago Bears
The Browns are terrible, but its not as if the Bears are blowing teams away on a week to week basis. Last weekend the Bears were disgraced, so I'm banking on the Mangini keeping this game within two touchdowns.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars (+2 1/2) at Tennessee Titans
I'm not really in love with a 5th pick this week, but in the end I shall go with the Jaguars because the Titans have simply given up this season. Their defense doesn't look like it cares and now the owner is making Quarterback decisions. Wee.

Survivor Pick of the Week: Chargers
The Raiders have beaten the Eagles this season so I guess this is not a lock, but if the Raiders play anything like they did last week they'll lose by 40.

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...
