LSJ - Week 2

Locks

The first lock of the week is the G-men over the Rams.  The Rams are an up and coming team and the Giants were handled last week by the Redskins, however, it won't happen this week.  I don't think the Rams have enough weapons for Bradford yet, and I think the Giants have a little bit of pride in them they are going to show the league.  The Rams may cover the 7 point spread, but they won't upset the Giants this week.  Giants win 24 - 20.

The second lock of the week is the Saints over the Bears.  I did not see the Bears winning last week, but I really don't see them winning in Nawleans this week.  The Saints are great at home, and Brees won't let his team go 0-2 to start the year.  The Saints have had 3 extra days to get ready for this game, the Saints win 27 - 16.

Shocks

The first shock of the week is the Sunday night game Eagles against the Falcons.  The Eagles biggest weakness this year is the offensive line.  Vick returns to Atlanta, and he will have his supporters there, but unfortunately for him they won't be on the field.  The Falcons D will pressure Vick all night and force a couple of bad throws, resulting in Falcons points.  Its going to be a close one, but Matty Ice comes through for the dirty birds 24 - 23.

The second shock of the week is the Cardinals over the Redskins.  Rex Grossmen threw for over 300 yards against the Giants, but it won't happen again against the Cardinals.  Grossmen will remember he is Grossman and come back to earth.  The Cardinals with Kolb will do enough to beat the Redskins on the road 23 - 17.

Jocks

The first jock is Matt Shaub of the Texans.  The Dolphins will fix some of their problems defensively, but that just means Shaub will throw for over 300 yards and not 500 yards like Brady.  Shaub will add two touchdowns in their win over fins.

The second jock is Drew Brees.  As mentioned earlier he and Sean Peyton will not want the Saints to start the season 0-2, and there will be no better way than to let Brees lead the attack.  Brees will throw for over 275 yards and two scores in their win.

NFL Week 5 - LS&J

Locks

The surprise of the week is the line for the (2-2) Eagles at the (0-4) 49ers shows the 49ers a 2.5 point favorite! I am going with the line and saying the winless 9ers will get on the board against the Kolb led Eagles. The 9ers will drop their safeties keeping everything in front of them making the Eagles dink and dunk all the way down the field. The 9ers problem hasn’t been the defense and it won’t be this week. The 9ers win 13-10 in a snoozefest!!

The second lock of the week is the (1-2) Vikings with the newly acquired Randy Moss against the (3-1) Jets. The addition of Moss won’t help the Vikings this week as Revis Island comes back from injury to limit Moss’s touches. The Jets will let Farve expose himself, again for the old quarterback he is. Jets 23 and the Vikes 20.

Shocks

The first shock of the week is the (2-2) Redskins to upset the (3-1) Packers. The Packers are favored by 3 on the road, but never underestimate the home dog. One never knows what they will get from the Redskins, but this week the good Skins show up and stop the air attack of the Packers 24-20.

The second shock is a bad game, but the only one I can really go with. The (2-2) Rams are 3 point dogs to the (0-4) Lions. The Lions are better than their record shows, they have been in every game even with a back-up quarterback. The problem is Detroit doesn’t have a running game and Bradford is putting up pretty good numbers. The Rams win on the road and keep the Lions winless 17-13.

Jocks

The first jock is Peyton Manning, who has the luxury of playing the undefeated Chiefs. That will change Sunday afternoon, but what won’t change is Manning slinging it all over the yard. Peyton will have over 300 yards and at least three touchdowns against the Chiefs.

The second jock is Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans. They are playing the New York football Giants and Schaub will go off. The bad Giants will show up, the one without the pass rush or cohesive offensive line. Schaub will throw for 300 yards and two touchdowns. Mark it down!!

Listen live Tuesday night at 10:00 eastern as Chris and Matt discuss the week the was in Week 5 of the NFL and much much more!! http://bit.ly/78Rrk

Locks, Shocks, & Jocks - Week 15

Locks

Holliday travel, snow on the east coast, all kinds of fun for this weeks edition of LS&J. The first lock of the week is one of the undefeated teams will lose. Oh, yeah, that was Nawlen’s last night.

The real first lock of the week is the Jets will beat the Falcons today. The Jets have been a streaky team all year, but thankfully for them they are playing the Falcons. Matt Ryan & Co. have been struggling the last part of the year. Ryan has been injured, Turner has missed some games, and may miss today’s. The Jets are looking for the playoffs and they will win this game and hopefully the AFC playoff picture may clear a little bit by Monday night. Jets win 23 – 17.

The second lock is Tennessee over the Dolphins. The Titans are wishing the season started in October because then they would be a playoff team. They still have an outside shot, but they have to win out and have some help along the way. The Dolphins need some help too, but the Titans have the momentum. Vince, Kerry, doesn’t matter, the two biggest things for the Titans are Chris Johnson and confidence. Titans win 24-20.

Shocks

The first shock is the Packers over the Steelers. The Steelers are reeling and the Packers are on a roll. The roll continues in Steel town and Pittsburgh fans wonder what might have been. The Steelers will miss the playoffs and become one of the first defending Super Bowl champions to miss the playoffs. The Packers win 27-17.

The second shock will be the 49ers beating the Philadelphia Eagles. The 9ers D has been decent all year, and they will limit the big play and thus taking away the potency of the Eagles offense. This will muddy the waters for the NFC East, but I assume that won’t be decided until Week 17 anways. The 49ers will win 20-17 in a squeaker on the road.

Jocks

Matt Schaub gets to play the hapless Rams today and that means throwing the ball all over the field. Andre Johnson as always will be a huge beneficiary but Schaub will find more than just Johnson open. Schaub will throw for 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Chris Johnson will be huge for the Titans when they beat the Dolphins. He will run for 125 yards, catch probably 50 yards, and of course score at least two touchdowns. Johnson may not get to 2,000 yards on the season but it will come down to the last game of year.

To the tens of listeners, have a Merry Christmas and don’t forget to listen live at 10:00 eastern on www.blogtalkaradio.com/sidelinershow or download us on iTunes.
