LSJ - Super Bowl

Lock

I'm picking the Patriots over the Giants.  I have gone back and forth on this, even while typing it, but finally decided the holes on the Giants are less than the holes for the Pats.  What's the difference you ask? The Giants have been talking smack all week, making predictions, talking about how they rattle Brady, the IT department screws up and displays the Championship website early, and on and on.  The New York media TRIED to stir up controversy with Brady's words, but he diffused it and that was that.  Gronk isn't healthy and that can't be good for Pats fans, but I think Brady will pull it out in the 4th QTR 34 - 31.

Jocks

The jocks will be the QB's as both Brady and Manning will throw for 300 yards and 2 TD's apiece.  Winning QB gets the MVP.

LSJ - Week 17

Locks

The first lock is the Dallas Cowboys will miss the playoffs finishing the year 1-4 in December and January?  Why?  Because they don't know any different.  I'm not sure the team is strong enough mentally to overcome missed field goals, blocked field goals, and 12 point leads with 5 minutes to go.  The game will be close, and I will be screaming at the TV, if only in my head because I can't wake the kids...Giants kill my New Years, 34 - 31.

The Saints beat the Panthers trying to lock up the #1 seed in the NFC.  They also have some records they will want to break, and you may have heard that Cam Newton is playing in the game and beat the Saints the first time around.  I don't see this happening, I got the Saints winning 38 - 31.

Shock

The first shock is the Jets over the Dolphins.  They Jets are still playoff eligible, before the games start anyway, but they need help from like half the league.  Since they have Rex as their coach I can't see them giving up, especially because they are the noon kickoff.  The Jets win a wild game with the Dolphins (aren't all Jets v. Dolphins games wild?) 24 - 23.

The second shock of the week is Chargers beating the Raiders in the last week of the season.  Norvel will be trying to save his job...again...but more importantly than that is the Chargers are hot right now and the Raiders aren't.  Chargers win 23 - 20.

Jocks

The first jock is obvious, Drew Brees 300 yards and 3 touchdowns.  I think that is all he knows how to do this year.

The second jock is Eli Manning who will torch the Dallas defense for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Happy New Year everyone and enjoy the final games of the regular season.  Chris and Matt SHOULD be back Tuesday night at 10:00 p.m. eastern at www.blogtalkradio.com/sidelinershow

LSJ - Week 12

Locks

The first lock of the week is the Steelers over the Chiefs.  The Chiefs were looking like a better team, whether they were ACTUALLY a better team is up for debate.  For whatever reason, probably the Steelers are a good national draw NBC decided not to change games.  I'm sure they are right, the Eagles vs. the Patriots won't be a better game.  The Steelers run with this one 31 - 3.

The second lock of the week is the Saints over the Giants.  There are the good Giants that beat New England a couple of weeks ago and then the Giants that lose to the Seahawks.  The G-men have lost two in a row, and it may be four in a row before they get to meet the Cowboys in Cowboys Stadium.  It's a rough patch for the G-men as they lose to the Saints on the road 27 - 20.

Shocks

The Titans are favored over the Buccaneers at home today by 3.  The Bucs haven't been a consistent team, but then again neither have the Titans.  Hasselbeck isn't 100% and Chris Johnson hasn't been Chris Johnson all year, my fantasy team is a clear indication incase you needed one.  I like the Bucs on the road because they have the youth and the talent.  This doesn't always win road games in the NFL, but it will this week 23 - 13.

The second shock of the week is the Redskins over the Seahawks.  I almost went Eagles over Pats, but with Vick out and Maclin doubtful this doesn't seem like much of a game.  So its the Deadskins over the Seaguls in a riveting game on Fox.  Sucks to be you if that's the game in your market.

Jocks

Tom Brady will throw for 300 yards and 2 scores against the Eagles.  The Eagles may have two of their three starting corners on the bench today, like Tom Brady needs any help.  Can I get a witness LeBrun?

The second jock is Eli Manning throwing for 300 yards 2 TD's (but also a couple of INT's) against the Saints.  The Giants will be trying to come from behind which means 40+ throws for Manning.  He will make a couple of mistakes, but also hit a couple of big ones.

Tune in Tuesday to hear about the week that was in the NFL at www.blogtalkradio.com/sidelinershow 

NFL Week 12 - Continued

Since I gave locks with no shocks I have only upsets for Sunday & Monday.

Shocks

The Colts are favored by three but they will go down to the surging 'Bolts Sunday night.  Chargers win 31 - 23.

The Cardinals will take down the 49ers at home 23 - 16.

Jocks

Eli Manning will throw for 300 yards and 2 scores against the Jags.

NFL Week 10 - LS&J

Locks

The first lock of the week is the (5-3) Eagles to beat the (4-4) Redskins in Landover.  The Redskins have a feud between their head coach and quarterback and that is ALWAYS a recipe for disaster.  The Eagles have Vick back and Jackson back, spelling bad news for the soap opera that is Washington.  The Eagles take care of business on the road 24 - 13.

The second lock of the week is for the (6-2) Steelers to take down the (6-2) Patriots.  The Patriots were very quietly beating teams and then they got stomped by Cleveland.  It is not likely for the Patriots to lose two in a row, but also unlikely they would lose to the Browns.  Rothlisberger is still getting on the same page as his receivers, but it is only getting better spelling gloom for the Pats young secondary.  Pittsburgh wins in OT 27-24.

Shocks

The first shock of the week is the (6-2) Ravens to beat the (6-2) Falcons on the road.  Ray-Ray is on the record saying he (and most NFL players) do NOT like playing on Thursday night.  But you know Ray-Ray will be all fired up to knock some heads.  The game will go down to the last 5 minutes with a kicker deciding the game.  Falcons miss the attempt and the Ravens win 24 - 23.

The second shock is the (4-4) Texans to upset the (4-4) Jaguars.  The Texans secondary is used to being torched, but lucky for them they play the Jags this week!!  Garrard probably won't light up the Texans secondary like he did the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago.  The Texans should be able to move the ball and post a needed win to stay in the playoff hunt.  The Texans win 27 - 17.

Jocks

The first jock is Eli Manning.  Yes the Cowboys have a new coach, but they also have a new defense coordinator.  The smart play is on the Giants offense over the so far uninspired Dallas defense.  The Cowboys MAY get better, but it won't be this week.  Baby Bro Manning throws for 300 yards and 3 TD's as nothing changes for the Cowboys.

The second jock is Michael Vick.  He should be able to light up the Redskins D both with his legs and his arm.  Through the air on the ground Vick will net 300 yards and 2 scores as the Redskins have NO clue how to handle him. 

Tune in this Tuesday as Chris & Matt are back on the mic and throwing opinions out like 3 dollar bills.  The dollar bills may be more valuable, but Chris & Matt are definitely more entertaining!!
