By -
Last week's picks were not stellar by any stretch (8/13 correct). I was pleased with the Lions' win as well as the Bears' comeback win. However, there is much room for improvement. Some stats were consulted this week in hopes of a better record and more informed decisions for readers. Here goes the second attempt at NFL picks...

Indianapolis Colts over Miami Dolphins
Houston Texans over Buffalo Bills
Seattle Seahawks over Minnesota Vikings
Tampa Bay Buccaneers* over Oakland Raiders
Pittsburgh Steelers* over New York Giants
Atlanta Falcons over Dallas Cowboys (Sunday nighter)
Philadelphia Eagles* over New Orleans Saints (Monday nighter)

_____ indicates BOLD Pick (under the circumstances)

Byes: Patriots, Jets, 49ers, Rams

There were a plethora of lead changes, momentum swings, and no shortage of heroes.

So who is this phenom of a baseball player? I need to be upfront about how I haven't followed this baseball season as closely as normal because my Boston Red Sox's management decided to punt on the season by trotting out a rotation of minor league pitchers. This means that Randy Arozarena was unfamiliar to me until this postseason. Now I can decisively state that Arozarena   is one remarkable hitter of the baseball!

Benjamin (Bengie) or "Big Money" broke into the Majors on September 21st, 1998 for the Anaheim Angels.  He had a career batting average of .274, knocked out 144 home runs to go along with 711 RBI's.  He played for the Anaheim Angels and stayed with them as they became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, then played for the Toronto Blue Jays (2006), the San Francisco Giants (2007–2010), and finished in the heat of Arlington with the Texas Rangers (2010).  He was a two time Gold Glove Award winner (2002, 2003), as well as a two time A.L. leader i
