LSJ - Week 7

Locks

The first lock of the week is the Saints over the Colts. ESPN.com has the one at 14, and I have feeling the Colts will cover. But this isn't about who covers its about who wins. The Saints should keep marching with a win against the hapless Colts. Saints win 31 24-13.

The second lock of the week is the Ravens over the Jaguars. Not a great Monday night game since the Jags dropped their starting QB right before the season started. I don't know what they were thinking, it worked before but they had a decent backup. Now they got nothing but another whipping, and this one on Monday night. Ravens roll 27 - 6.

Shocks

The first shock of the week is the Texans over the Titans. The Titans have had a decent start to the season with Hasselbeck running the offense, but Chris Johnson hasn't been Chris Johnson this year at all. The Texans are the better team and need to show it on the road in Tennessee. The Texans win 24 - 20.

The second shock of the week is the Falcons over the Lions. Detroit got their panties in a wad at the end of the 49ers game, and they will again this week. Maybe not from the handshake at mid-field but because of the whipping on the field. The Falcons need to start winning if they intend to make e playoffs and a road win in Detroit is a good place to start. Dirty Birds win 27 - 23.

Jocks

The first jock is Ray Rice. He will combine (rushing & receiving) for 130 yards and two touchdowns this week. He is one of the most versatile backs in the league and will continue to show why against the Jags.

The second lock is Aaron Rodgers throwing for 300 yards and two scores against the Vikings. Anytime you can embarrass a divisional rival you do it. The Vikings don't need much helps his year, and Rodgers is more than up for the task.
