Wildcard Weekend........











Atlanta Falcons
Vs
Arizona Cardinals +2.5


Over/Under: 49.5




LockofTheWeek: We believe the Arizona Cardinals will lock up their first playoff spot with a win over ATL. We love the Cards to take care of business at home against the Atlanta falcons strictly because of Arizonas nonstop high powered offense led by Anquan Bouldin, Larry Fitzgerald and the running game of Hightower. Cards have rested most of their starters for the past couple weeks so they may have a few tricks up their sleeve. Maybe we wil see a reverse play for 80 yards, a flea flicker? who knows? If Arizona's Offensive Line can manage to protect Warner long enough for him to get comfortbale, Cards should have a field day. Arizona's Defense is more then capable of containing Matt Ryan and forcing him to turn the ball over. Arizona has the 18th best defensive rating in the league while Atlanta Falcons stand at 24th place . We like the Cards to Pull off a win at home with the Points.
Arizona +2.5


2 TeamTeaser for protection: Arizona +8 Over 43



May Have A teaser Brewing Up, check back later...

Week 17 | Bills Vs NE / Car vs. NO



Buffalo Bills +6
vs
New England Patriots


Over/ Under: 42.5



Carolina Panthers -1
Vs
New Orleans

Over/Under: 53.5

Lockoftheweek: This is probably one of the most confident picks we have brewed up this entire football season. We are going to go with a two team teaser on sunday. We like New England Patriots Even over Buffalo and Carolina +4 over New Orleans. We dont think Buffalo Personally stands a chance against the patriots, however, we teased the game down to make it even, just in case NE wins and Buffalo happens to cover. Carolina Needs this win and cannot afford to lose another game. I think Carolina is one of the best teams in the nfl currently and i think they will have enough firepower and solid defense to beat the New Orlean Saints. We look forward to seeing fireworks but Carolina should come away with a W. They should have beat the New York Giants last week but they missed the field goal to put the game away deep in the 4th quarter. This is a must win game for the carolina panthers and we think they will go into the superdome with confidence and swagger.
We are Taking New England Even and Carolina +5

Monday Night Football | Chi vs GB




Green Bay Packers +5
Vs
Chicago Bears

Over/Under: 39.5



Monday Night Projected Weather Report
Cloudy. A 30 percent chance of snow after midnight. Lows 3 to 7 above. Then temperatures becoming steady or slowly rising. Wind chills as low as zero to 10 below zero. South winds 10 to 15 mph.




Monday Night Lock: We like the two team teaser to cover on Monday Night. We like GB+10 and Over 34. We dont think the weather should be too much of a factor tonight, seeing as though both teams were made to play in the snow. GB has lost the last 4 games on their schedule, so this game will be for pride. I think mccarthy will do everything in his power to atleast keep this game close and stop it from getting out of hand. We think GB should be able to cover 11 points. GreenBay +11 Over 33

A Winter Wonderland in Boston Today...









Arizona Cardinals +7.5
Vs
New England Patriots

Over/Under: 42

LockofTheWeek: We are going with a 2 team teaser on this game. We like New England -1 and stay under 48.The weather is projected to be heavy snow and windgusts. We are probably gonna see a semi boring game with alot of ruhnning. Sorry for the late post, long night last night.
NE -1 Under 48

Saturday Night Football | Ravens vs Dallas








Baltimore Ravens +4
Vs
Dallas Cowboys

Over/Under: 39


LockofTheWeek: The key to winning the game tomorrow will be decided by the team who makes the fewest mistakes. We think Between Tony Romo and Joe Flacco, Tony will make less mistakes on turning the ball over just because of the game experience he has and the way he reacts to pressure situations. Dallas has a big advantage by playing at home with no weather conditions against one of the best defenses in the league. Dallas stadium can be pretty loud at times by the fans and may effect baltimores snap counts and audibles. The Dallas defense sacked eli manning atleast 7 times last week so i think the ravens are in for a long night. Were Not saying the ravens dont have an amazing defense, however, we think that tony romo has too many weapons on offense to be effected and completely shut down by the ravens. We like Dallas to pull a close win off while still covering this game. We are going to take Dallas -4

Thursday Night Football: Looking Ahead








Indianapolis Colts
vs
Jacksonville Jaguars +6.5


Over/Under:44


Tomorrows Weather: Partly cloudy. Areas of dense fog in the morning. Highs in the upper 70s. North winds 5 mph shifting to the east in the afternoon.(Perfect Weather)


Thursday Night Pick: We are going with the over in this pick. We look forward to Payton having a great game and also putting some serious points on Primetime. Everyone knows that Paytons no huddle offense is probably the best in the league and he can pretty much score at will. Especially, if for some reason colts have their back against the wall in the 4th quarter, Payton will find his way to the endzone, and does it artfully.With a win tomorrow, Indianapolis Colts clinch their playoff birth. Jacksonville on the other hand showed us last week that they actually can mix up the offense by running drew up the gut or even taylor on the toss, but also connecting with his receivers. David Garrard went 21-of-33 for 238 yards and two touchdowns for Jacksonville against the GB Packers. However, the Jags didn’t commit any turnovers while picking off Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers once. If the Jags can muster up atleast 13-17 points in this game, the over should look pretty good. We also like a small play on a 2 team teaser for protection. Indy even up, Over38

FINAL SCORE: 31-24 Indy

Goodluck... Stay Tuned For Dallas Vs Baltimore... Happy Holidays....

vs.
Philadelphia Eagles

Over/Under: 40



Tonights Weather Report
Showers likely. Lows in the upper 30s. Southwest winds around 10 mph...becoming northwest after midnight. Chance of rain 70 percent.


Monday Night Pick: We are going with a 2 team teaser. Cleveland +22 Under 46

Friday, December 12, 2008












Green Bay Packers
Vs
Jacksonville Jaguars +2

Over/Under: 45





LockOfTheWeek: Green bay has lost 4 games in a row.The last game they played was a heartbreaker at home to Houston Texans. They are overdue for a break out game to atleast get the wheels turnin again. Look out for greenbays defense to stalk Garrard and force him to turn the ball over. This game may be over by halftime or early in the 3rd. We are going to take:
Green Bay -2

Thursday Night Football | Chicago Vs. New Orleans












New Orlean Saints +2.5
vs
Chicago Bears

Over/Under 46

Weather Report Projected For Thursday at Soldier Field
Partly cloudy. Lows in the lower 20s.

LockOfTheWeek: With This particular game, we believe the weather will play a key factor in the outcome of this football game. It is projected to be in the low 20's , high Winds without any precipitation. The saints have the number one power offense according to CoachesCorner.com, however, with the combination of the high winds and the frigid weather, the pass game should be limited. This means Saints might have to keep most of their game on the ground and hope Reggie Bush and McCalister can cash in. This is where i think chicago will dominate this game. Chicago's Defense seems to be on a roll the last couple games and will probably look fwd to putting pressure on brees and smothering the run. I dont know how Reggie Bush plays in the the freezing cold but thursday will be a major test he will have to overcome. On the other side of the ball, Chicago needs to rush matt forte and dominate the trenches. Last week Matt Forte Had a big game againste the jaguars and is looking to follow up with another positive game. A record-breaking performance was turned in by rookie running back sensation Matt Forte, who eclipsed Gale Sayers' rookie record of 1,374 yards from scrimmage. Adding Forte's 106 yards against the jags, he now holds the record at 1,476 yards.
Maybe we will see Hester return a couple punt returns back or atleast accumulate great field position for the Chicago Bears. The Stadium will be very loud due to their dedicated fanbase, which may effect the saints and their snap counts. Although Chicago's offense isnt the best, i think their defense will pull a win out for them this week.

Play: Chicago -2.5. We also like the 2 team teaser in this game. We like Chi +4 Under 52

Monday Night Football | Carolina Panthers Host The Tampa Bay Buccaneers












Tampa Bay Buccaneers +3
Vs
Carolina Panthers


OverUnder: 38




Monday Night Lock: Tonight should be a very competetive match up between the carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This Monday Night Showdown should be a shootout. Although Tampa bay has a great defense, Panthers should stil be able to score on most of their posessions. We think Garcia and Delhomme will be finding the endzone quite often in the game. We are going to go with the over. Over 38

Week 14 | New York Jets On The Road




Hello football fans and thank you for visiting Lock Of The Week. First and Foremost, I Would like to thank you for checking out our NFL Game picks and we hope that you will comeback and check the site or the latest premium sports lock. For anyone that tuned in, we nailed the San Diego Chargers Vs Oakland Game right on the head! We went with a two team tease that landed perfectly within bounds. Now that the Season is coming down to the wire, Games will be alot easier to pick....

The game that seems to stands out to us this week and that we have a really good feeling about would be the NYJ Vs SF 49ers. The 4 o clock showdown between the NYJ and SF 49ers will be exciting to watch, although we think the point spread in this game is a bit to low. When i flipped to the spreads and i saw that NYJ were only 3.5 point favorites, i immediately had to post about it. Lets Recap from last week. New York Jets are coming off of a tough home loss against the Denver Broncos and will be looking for redemption this week. What better way to take your anger and frustration out then SF 49ers. They literally have no offense. The only decent players on their offensive squad Would be Shaun Hill, which isnt much of a threat, Frank Gore, and Isaac Bruce. We believe Jets are going to go to SF and knock the lights out on the road. The San Francisco 49ers in my opinion, are garbage and will not be able to contain the NYJ Offense. SF is Ranked 23rd in defensive power ranking and Brett favre is well aware of that. With Brett favre 100% healthy, a beautiful California day, Leon Washington, Lavernious Coles, This Game could get out of Control. The line as of right now stands..


Weather Report For Sunday
Mostly sunny in the morning then becoming partly cloudy. Highs in the upper 50s. West winds 5 to 10 mph.


San Francisco 49ers +3.5
Vs
New York Jets


Over/Under: 42.5




LockOfTheWeek: TAKE THE JETS STRAIGHT.... We also like the 2 team teaser in this game for alittle protection. Take The Jets +3 and go over 36

San Diego Hosts The Oakland Raiders..












Oakland Raiders +9.5
Vs
San Diego Chargers
Over/Under: 43



LockOfTheWeek: We are going with a 2 Team Teaser. Take The San Diego Chargers at home -3 and Stay under 49 Points. With this particular head to head match up, we should see alot of running between Ladainian Tomlinson and Darren Mcfadden. This should, in turn, eat up most of the clock, allowing the game to stay under 49. San Diego should take this one home tonight on Thursday night!


Goodluck and see you for sundays Lock...
