Last week, Guru Ganu started talking trash to me about how he would overtake me in the picks. Not with a 9-7 week you won’t, bitch! I’m having one of those breakout seasons like I’m a third year wide receiver. My locks are actually locks and my record speaks for itself. Too bad I can’t be like Sports Guy and tout my barely above .500 record. I’ll just have to point to my 65% winning percentage. Ok, enough of that. I just hurt my arm patting myself on the back.
Here we go with the Week 14 Picks. If you want to see how well the experts here at SC stack up against the competition, check out this excel file.

Locks of the Week
Vegas Vinny: I know Dallas has looked good in the past couple of weeks but to give up 7.5 pts to New Orleans is insane. New Orleans is one of those underachieving teams and every few weeks or so, they like to show the talent they have. I’m taking the Saints to win this one outright but even if they do lose, they’ll cover the spread. The Saints always manage some garbage points and I don’t think Dallas has enough firepower to pull away that much.
Mr. X: Book it. This one was too easy. Baltimore (-9.5) to cover a really large spread.
Eli Manning will be facing a defense that was embarrassed by Carson Palmer last weekend and looking to make a statement in one of the last “Easy” games on the schedule for the playoff seeking RAVENS.
Mile High: Been a little off as of late, but how can you go wrong selecting Philly (-9)? I don’t care how good the Redskins D is, the Eagles look like the Rams in the Kurt Warner days.
Guru Ganu: San Diego is for real, and teams that are the real deal beat teams they are suppose to beat, especially at home. So even though the Chargers are favored by 5, I like ’em to trounce the Bucs at home. Yes, this has let down game written all over it, and yes I stink at locks this year, so the smart money will look elsewhere, but I like the Bolts.
