LOCKS recap: I covered

LOCKS of the Week continues to make its climb to the top. It was dicey for a few moments, but two of three games were covers.

In EAST RUTHERFORD, the Giants (-9.5) held off the 49ers to win by 12. Ding! Dave gets the pick right.

In KANSAS CITY, the Chiefs (+8.0) got their butts kicked by the Titans, 34-10. Someone save that run defense! Dave gets the pick wrong. BZZZZ!

but, cherish the day!

In HOUSTON, the Lions (+9.5) kicked a field goal late to cut the lead from 10 to 7, and it stood up. Houston 28, Detroit 21. The Lions cover! The Lions cover! Can't we dish out game balls for covering the spread? Dave gets the pick right!

In total, yet another winning week for Dave's LOCKS of the week. 2-1 this week, and now... toteboard please:

8-12-1 for the season!

Stick with us, as we continue to pick the winners on LOCKS of the Week

MY St. Louis Rams

Way back in July, when I was in New York City, I predicted the Rams would go 11-5 and win the NFC West. People laughed at me. Everybody who had a mouth lambasted my projection. They said "What a MORON! He predicted the Rams! They'll be lucky to win a game." People threw tomatoes at me as I crossed the street...

Ok no they didn't, but let's pretend...

Weeks 1-5, It looked bleak. The Rams went 0-5 and got outscored by a combined 104 points. Coach Linehan was fired. Then... it happened.

A bye week! But besides that...

The Rams came out with a blaze of fire! First they hung in there, and gutted out a win in Washington. Then this week, they CLOBBERED the Dallas Cowboys 34-14! Back to back wins versus the vaunted NFC East. I recognize the Cowboys used their backup QB, but let's face it, this was domination! It's no fluke...

The Rams are BACK baby!
