It was an interesting week in LOCKS. Once again, the NFL picks outperformed the college picks, but in a twist, I was close to not using *any* NFL games in my LOCKS of the Week. It's a good thing I changed my mind, because College picks only went 1-2. Here are the hits and misses for the weekend of 12/7:
Hits: Auburn -2.5, Jaguars +3.5, Seahawks +2
Misses: Ohio State -5.5, Arizona State -3.5, Panthers +3.5
The latter two misses really disappointed me. If anything, it felt like neither team really showed up. How'd the Panthers wind up being so bad at New Orleans? I didn't necessarily think they'd win outright, but to get blown out so quickly was a surprise, but maybe it shouldn't have been. ASU was a complete joke. Finally people start to buy into them (literally) and this is their reward?
ASU was, in my book, the biggest whiff. I was fully blindsided by their lack of performance, in a HOME game no less! Ohio State, I wouldn't take back. If it became an intentional mush that worked out, I'll take that, worth the investment, so to speak.
I find it peculiar that I struggled so much with College Games and did so well with NFL games this year, yet, I can't bring myself to pick more NFL games. Fortunately, this week presents only NFL games to wager on so I *can't* pick a college game even if I wanted to (Army/Navy doesn't really apply). It *would* be a tough week to pick NFL games, though, so we'll analyze the point spreads carefully. Only about 3 weeks left in the regular season to round out a winning year on LOCKS for the first time ever. I'm very excited at the prospects!!
More to come in next week's LOCKS of the Week.
