Picks N Pans: Michigan 2

[racin_girl72]

Well this week's column is up.

Mike upped his average just a bit by picking Harvick last week and even though I had Martin, I'm still hanging in with under a 10th place average.

So this week, I went totally Roush while Mike mixed his up between Roush and RCR.  On Dale Jr, we disagreed.  Mike said give him a chance and said to sit him down.

And did I go totally nuts with my roll the dice pick? 

Let us know what you think and who you would have picked!

Crank Em UP
Greg Biffle (desparation is a great motivator, and he DOES drive for ROUSH!And...EVERYONE else likes Edwards )
Denny Hamlin (ROY!)

Sit Em Down
Robby Gordon (avg finish is 25th on these type of tracks, Nuff said)
Dale Jarrett (poor ol DJ...RYR is a MESS!)


Roll The Dice
Clint Bowyer(9 top 15's this year!)

PS: I always do my picks before I read your column. I see we agree on Biffle and Gordon though but Sadler??? Hoo Boy!!

[Blu]

Man!! Doesnt Cami look like the brain now?? Whodda thunk it with Sadler??

[racin_girl72]

Guess my ole crystal ball is working (at least for qualifying)

[Blu]

Id Say!! Ya better hang onto THAT one kiddo!!

I keep forgetting to list my picks...
Thanks for asking for our input Cami... Something else to think about...

Here's what I think.. I also try NOT to look at you guys picks before making mine...

Crank Em UP
Biffle
Edwards

Sit Em Down
How about Mayfield... LOL (just kidding)
Riggs
Vickers

Roll The Dice
Sadler,... gotta show me something besides a 2nd in practice and 2nd in Q before you get a Crank 'em up spot...
Honorable mention to Schrader... May be a sleeper.. that team seems to be turning around since Fatback come on board

************
Boy,.. I just went and looked and I see me and Cami had 3 of the 5 picks the same.
How can anyone NOT picks Edwards and Biffle (of course there are outstanding factors)
But in the last six races at 2 mile tracks Edwards has finished no WORSE then 5th.
Biffle has been no worse than 6th (except when he run out of gas),.. and should have 3 wins.
Pretty strong stuff.

I posted some pics somewhere else but I think we'll see Elliott Sadler take it.........at least I'm hoping so....don't ask me why just a feeling.

[ROOKER]

I don' t get how to place this game..

Rooker / NB.. read the picks and Pans article on the FS forum and you'll get an idea of what is going on.
Sorry I can't be of more help,.. but that'll explain it better than I can.

Here's the latest article for Michigan (sorry I forgot to add it to the 1st thread) http://www.frontstretch.com/article/4715/

What Mike and I do each week in the column is suggest 2 drivers that we think are the top choices for a win or at the very least a Top 10 finish in the race coming up (crank em up).  We also give 2 drivers that we think you shouldn't use because either they are in a slump or have a terrible record at this track (sit em down) and then last we pick one driver we think that is worth a gamble, somebody low in the points who could sneak in for a Top 10 or 15 or somebody who normally isn't good at this track but is running really well (roll the dice).

So just to play along with the column, people here post their picks and then we compare them.  I will give a little sneak preview of what's coming up: for the Chase we are going to dump the averages that we use now and go to a point system.  So that will be MUCH easier for us to score points for Mike and I and to also include you guys because we think it's great you play along too.
