2009 NFL Week 3 Picks

Well, once again it was a 9-7 week. So, we are up 4 games going into week 3 of this season. For comparisons, favorites went 6-8 last week and are 13-19 total while Madden 10 went 8-8 and is 17-15 for the last two weeks. So, what is needed is a really good week, but to be honest I just don't feel it.

Oh, well, here we go, week three - Spread is home team.

2009 Red Sox Game 132 Preview

Beckett vs Garza at the Trop, 7:08 eastern.

Like MLB.com says, Beckett has sucked lately. As in royally sucked lately. Don't believe me just look at these starts, and compare them to his first 23 starts. A 3.10 ERA vs a 9.82 ERA which raises his overall ERA to a less than mediocre 3.80 ERA. I just want captain kick A** back.

Garza has been good at home and especially good in his career vs the Sox. Here is home that he does not live up to his previous excellence.

Be there or be ...

2009 Red Sox Game 131 Preview

Lester vs Sonnanstine, at the Trop, 7:08.

Sonnanstine has just been called up and Lester has not lost in his last 7 starts.
