Holy Toledo! Toledo sucks! That is a lesson learned a day too late for the Locks. Sitting on a 14-7 lead and getting 18 points, we felt pretty good about our pick in the Toledo/Central Michigan. Then the Chips woke up and scored the game's next 49 points. There went the lead, there went the cover, there went our money. Oh well. Today is another day and we get both college and NFL contests:
Unpickable Master Locks - CFL:
South Florida @ Rutgers - Lines is Rutgers -2.5 - The Locks has made a concerted effort to support the Scarlet Ladies in recent years. Perhaps it is our pity for all things that come from New Jersey. Who knows. Let's just say, the Ladies have not lived up to our belief in them. For that reason, we have become rabidly anti-Rutgers. That belief will be put to the test this evening when South Florida and their electric freshmen QB, B.J. Daniels, visit the stink state. We love what we've seen out of Daniels since he replaced the injured Matt Groethe. More importantly, we love the Bulls two phenomenal defensive ends (Pierre-Paul and Selvie). We think South Florida exacts revenge from recent tough losses at the hands of the Ladies and roll to a road victory this evening. We're taking the points and buying another half point. The Locks picks South Florida +3 (-125). LOCK IT UP
Unpickable Master Locks - NFL:
Chicago @ San Francisco - Lines is SF -3.5 - The Locks' hometown Niners get to host the first of the NFL's last season Thursday night tilts. Excitement will be very high down at the old Candlestick as longtime Niner fans drink enough to remember that they used to have a very, very good team. Then they'll enter the stadium and see Alex Smith warming up and throw up all over themselves. Oh the joys of loving the 49ers. Chicago rolls into town a bit beat-up and a bit embarrassed. Add a bit underestimated to that list. Does anyone really think the Bears are 3.5 points worse than the Smith-led SF crew? The Locks certainly doesn't. This promises to be a high-scoring affair with Gore and Crabtree pacing the Niners while Jay Cutler throws the ball over the Peninsula. Look to Devin Hester to find the end zone multiple times. At the end of the day, the Bears will prevail and Mike Singletary will deliver another excellent post-game press conference. We're looking forward to it. Take Da Bears +3.5. LOCK IT UP
