Locks of the Week
Mr. X: The game that sticks out to me this week more than any other as the best “Survivor” pick is the DENVER BRONCOS coming off of a terrible Monday Night loss wanting to get back on track vs. a very very overrated Atlanta team. The FALCONS are not good on defense AND quite frankly suck at offense. The Broncos can play and just had a hiccup last week. The home team is the play on this one I believe and I don’t see a team like ATLANTA having any success in Denver. The Broncos
will win this one by 10 or so. Look for a 27-17 or 30-20 type score for the Brocons (-7)to cover.
Vegas Vinny: You’ve heard about how the final Washington home game before an election has correctly predicted the outcome since the dawn of time right? It’s an amazing streak. Since I get all my news from the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, I’m expecting an election fiasco this year. And I’ll tell you what else is a fiasco – (man, I’m reaching for that segue,) the Washington Redskin’s offense. Expect Green Bay to run up the score early and the Redskins not having anything to counterpunch with. I’ll take Green Bay and give the 1.5 pts.
Mile High: This week I’m going to go with the upstart Detroit Lions (+3) who visit Texas Stadium to visit the once proud Cowboys. Vinny Testaverde, Meshawn, Eddie George. That alone makes me pick the visiting team. Seems that Kevin Jones is healthier and Roy Williams is the man with a much more confident Joey Harrington. Take the Road Warrior Lions this week, who I think will win outright.
Guru Ganu: Tough week. I’ll take the Red Sox to sweep St. Louis. Oh, wait, forget it,
guess I have a bit of a parade hangover. BTW Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, and Tom Hanks, feel free to jump off the bandwagon at the next
stop…LOSERVILLE.
Gimme Cincy over Tennessee as my lock. No good reason for this pick. Cincy looked mighty good on MNF, and I am 3 for my last 3 on locks.
