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!!

Locks, Shocks, & Jocks for Week 2 of the NFL

As we look forward to Week 2 in the NFL the crack research staff here at the Sideliners Show and I poured over scouting reports and historical matchups to bring you a preview of Sunday in the first edition of “Locks, Shocks, & Jocks.”

First the LOCKS.  Two teams that will definitely win on Sunday are the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers.  The Redskins play the inept St. Louis Rams.  The Rams failed to score a point last week and don’t look for them to score too many points this week.  Washington’s D will be all over Steven Jackson, the only real threat on offense.  Look for Washington to stack 8 in the box and make the Rams beat them through the air.
