ScottLocke's LOCKs(ok not quite locks)

[Gatoraider]

Scott-

The OU for tonights game is at 50 w my books. What do you think about that? That is the highest for either team this year.. Thoughts?

[ScottLocke]

I'd prob lean on the Under, but I still don't see much value there. I'd set the total at 48 so its about 2 point too high IMO. Maybe a Saints and Under teaser would be the best play for tonight, but it could still get over that with a few big plays.

[ScottLocke]

Hopefully that'll quiet down all the Matty Ice and Atlanta is the best team in the NFL talk.

It's all about matchups, less to do with "who's the best". There's a reason I took the Saints +8.5 tonight.

Who do the Falcons matchup well with from the NFC for the playoffs though? Besides the NFC west winner lol. I don't see any other team they could beat consistently on a neutral field. Obv their home field advantage will help some and give them a shot.

[bobbyk1133]

I don't think ATL is built to go deep in the playoffs either. They are the most consistent team in the league and are regular season all-stars though. They take care of everyone they should take care of and are in every game with the better teams.

However as we seen tonight they might not be ready for the prime-time pressure cooker just yet. I think they are much better as underdogs than they are as favorites.

Hey Scott, can we have a few sentences as to why the Arizona pick is such a confident pick?

[Tower]

Hey Scott, do you just have the Arizona pick for today?

[ScottLocke]

Yeah sorry, been away. I also have Houston this afternoon for 3u

[Tower]

Stupid Cardinals, thank god they don't play anymore. I'm tired of betting on them!!! LOL!!

[ScottLocke]

Yeah I don't know what happened, they didn't put out any effort at all. Maybe they didn't even care and they wanted to lock down a higher draft pick. I guess I learned my lesson like I do every year. Never put bet a lot on the last week of the season. Its too hard to judge how motivated a team will be. At least I somewhat followed that this year with only 2 bets.

[Tower]

Any bets for this weekend?

[ClimbSomeRocks]

I'm liking GB ML and Bal/KC Under 41. What do ya think?

[bobbyk1133]

Any bets for this weekend?

If not, I know who he's taking next week. Whoever plays against ATL.....

[Tower]

Haha, Which most likely will be GB +3 @ ATL!

[bobbyk1133]

I put GB in a teaser, but that game is a complete coin flip. I wouldn't be surprised if either team blew out the other or it went to OT.

[ScottLocke]

Haha I will most likely be against Atlanta next week haha.

I do like the Eagles although it should be a close game, Packers fought hard just to make the playoffs and the Eagles have been resting getting ready for this game for the past 2 weeks. Plus Andy Reid normally has an excellent game plan for the first game of the playoffs ( he is 7-1) aside from last years abomination vs the Cowboys.

I also like the Jets, Chiefs and Saints.

[Tower]

Packers this week?!

[bobbyk1133]

Knock, Knock. Now is the time to bet against ATL.

[ScottLocke]

Well looks like I was right about ATL all along

[bobbyk1133]

Too bad it cost you all year before you finally cashed.

After week 16 it was obvious ATL were regular season All-Stars. I'm not sure anybody really believed they would beat GB tonight.

[ScottLocke]

Yeah, I actually didn't even bet this week though. I didn't feel like watching/thinking about football after the Eagles loss last week, but I saw the highlights of the game. I'll prob watch the SuperBowl but thats it.
