Monday Double Dip

The final game of another mediocre NFL week for the Locks is upon us. We need to hit tonight's contest to post a .500 record. Here is a bit of advice, if you're going to follow our lead on betting games on Sunday, go after the early games. In an inexplicable turn of events, we have been money on the 1:00 games and horrid on the 4:00 games. Not sure why that has been the case. Anyway, here is tonight's game followed by a breakdown of Game 4 between the Phils and Rockies.

New York @ Miami - Line is NY Jets -3 - Interesting that the Jets are a road favorite, especially after how thoroughly Matt Sanchez was exploited last week. There is no doubt the Jets' D is impressive. However, the Dolphins have an offense that can confuse even the best defense and the Jets D is so fundamentally good, that I wonder if this is a bad match up for them. The thing they have going for them is that there is not too much in the way of a passing threat on Miami. If they can stop the two-headed running attack, then they should be in solid shape. However, all of a sudden the Jets offense doesn't appear stellar. Thomas Jones is old and not very good (let's see some more Shonn Greene for Pete's sake) and Sanchez has got to be a bit overwhelmed following the beating in the Big Easy. The lights will be shining bright tonight and it will be interesting to see how the Sanchise performs. I see this being a very low scoring game and one that remains relatively close. Both defenses will make some big plays and the game comes down to a FG. I think this line is right on the number as I see the Jets stealing one on a late FG. That said, I'm a sucker for points. Take the Dolphins +3. LOCK IT UP

Unpickable Master Locks - MLB Playoffs:

Philadelphia @ Colorado - No way the Rockies season ends today at home. I just can't see it. They will conjure up some Coors Field magic and send this one back to Philly. Look for Cliff Lee to come back to earth a bit from that Game 1 performance and look to Umbaldo Jiminez to pitch a very, very good game. Hopefully the umpires stay in the background in this one. The pick is Colorado (-111). LOCK IT UP
