LS&J Week 4

Locks

The first lock of the week is the (2-1) Patriots taking on the (2-1) Dolphins in an AFC East Divisional matchup.  Lucky for the Dolphins they are playing at home, but unfortunately they are playing the Pats.  The Pats, favored by 1 on ESPN.com, are coming off allowing the Bills 30 points, but their defense will look sharper and as always Brady & Co. will be slinging it around the field.  The Pats win 31 - 24.

The second lock of the week is the (2-1) Eagles over the (1-2) Redskins.  McNabb comes back to Philly, and the reception won't be warm and neither will the Redskins offense.  Vick will keep the Redskins D guessing with his feet and to his two young electric receivers Maclin and Jackson.  The Eagles win easy 34 - 17.

Shocks

The biggest shock of the year is how Pittsburgh has run their record to 3-0 without Big Ben.  That all ends today as Ray Ray and the Baltimore Ravens come calling.  The Steelers have won because of their defense, but their offense won't get anything going against the stingy Ravens D.  The Ravens O will do just enough to get the W.  Ravens 17 and the Steelers 6.

The second shock is that the (1-2) Giants are favored by 4 points over the (3-0) Bears.  The Bears will run the record to 4-0 and get the league talking about if they are for real.  They aren't, but that isn't the point.  The Giants are in real turmoil.  The head coach is on the hot seat, the offense looks anemic, and we aren't really sure if they have a defense or not.  The Bears win 24 - 17.

Jocks

The first jock is Drew Brees.  The Saints are playing the Panthers at home and will have a field day against the hapless Panthers.  Brees will go for over 300 yards and 3 scores.

The second jock is DeSeab Jackon.  One of the Eaglet receivers is bound to have a great day and we are projecting Jackson because of his electric speed.  Jackson will snagg 2 touchdowns and get over 125 yards.

Well there it is, listen Tuesday at 10:00 eastern to see how we did and hear Chris & Matt discuss the week that was in the NFL week 4.  Listen live at www.blogtalkradio.com/sidelinershow 

Locks, Shocks, & Jocks - Week 4 of the NFL

Locks

New Orleans will roll over the Jets handing Mark Sanchez & Rex Ryan their first losses as professionals.  The Jets will be without 2 starting DB’s and that just spells trouble against the league’s highest scoring team.  The Jets will keep it interesting but not enough for the win.  The Saints keep marching for another week!

The next team is the Giants over the Chiefs.  While the Giants haven’t looked stellar, the Chiefs have looked abysmal since week 1.  It will not take 4 turnovers by the Chiefs for the Giants to get the win, but don’t be surprised if the Chiefs do turn it over that many times.  Look for the front four of the Giants to get constant pressure on Cassell all day and for the running game to go no where.  It doesn’t get much better for the Chiefs as they get the Cowboys next week.  My advise to Chief fans, run for cover the next couple of weeks!
