Wild Card Locks


After beginning the season 3-12 with The Locks (in the fake Vegas SuperContest), an amazing finish including an 8-2 finish the last 2 weeks had me finish at a very respectable 44-38-3.

I'll look to continue the roll throughout the playoffs.

Oakland @ (-3.5) Houston. My Pick, Houston 17-16. I really have no feel on who will actually win this game but I can't imagine it being a blowout one way or another. My life is so exciting that I'll spend my afternoon watching Cook v Osweiler.
Detroit @ (-8.5) Seattle. My Pick, Seattle 23-16. No one, including me, gives the Lions any chance to win this game. However, the Seahawks offense is so average they won't pull away to cover the spread.
Miami @ (-10.5) Pittsburgh. My Pick, Pittsburgh 27-20. This line is ridiculous. The Steelers have as good a chance as anyone to win the Super Bowl but they also could very well lose this game if they don't contain Ajayi. Pittsburgh shouldn't be favored by this much over anyone in the playoffs.
New York Giants @ (-5) Green Bay. My Pick, Green Bay 31-27. While I do like the Giants defensive matchup, I can't go against the hottest streak going on in the league by Aaron Rodgers. In the best game of the weekend, the Packers come back in the 4th quarter to break Eli's heart.

Week 17 Review

Cleveland @ (-6) Pittsburgh. My Pick, Cleveland 24-23. What happened, Pittsburgh 27-24 OT. This was the Brownsest of Browns games and I wasn't on bit disappointed at the final result. I'm looking forward to the future instead of crying about who is or isn't on the roster right now.New England @ (+9.5) Miami. My Pick, Miami 27-24. What Happened, New England 35-14. Brady did Brady things and New England rolled into it's bye week. I expect Miami to bounce back and play well in Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round.Dallas @ (-4) Philadelphia. My Pick, Philadelphia 30-20. What Happened, Philadelphia 27-13. Again, Wentz not impressive but my Cleveland media friends swooned over another win and a 7-9 season. Here's my Browns prediction (or maybe hope), 2 defensive studs in the first round, QB in the 2nd or 3rd depending who's available, and Tyrod Taylor running the offense next season.Arizona @ (+6) LA Rams. My Pick, Arizona 34-20. What Happened, Arizona 44-6. I gave the Rams offense way too much credit with this pick. I'd rather be where the Browns organization is over the Rams, 49ers, Bills, and Jets. Green Bay @ (+3.5) Detroit. My Pick, Green Bay 34-29. What Happened, Green Bay 31-24. The Lions back in to the playoffs with a Redskins loss and get to go play in Seattle...good luck. Green Bay wins the division but might have the toughest matchup in the first round with the Giants...good luck. Still, I'll take Rodgers to have a long playoff run this year.

Week 17 - 4-1
Overall - 45-38-3
