    Lock of the week, or the century, is Raiders over lions. I Just hope PEETA

    I'm calling STL as my lock and I'm thinking Ravens over Bengals.

    Re: the final sentence. If that is the case why use the betting term parlay?

    Also, since you are using the term parlay here, if you get one of your three picks wrong, you lose. When betting parlays you either win or lose. I think that's how it works. Therefore, if you get two of the games right, but the other one wrong, you didn't go 2-1- you went 0-1.

    Best bet: 49ers (-3)

    Others:

    St. Louis (-1)
    Denver (-3)

    A lot of games I like a little but I'm not totally sure about. For example, I'm taking the Jets (+6.5) and Raiders.

    slowmoe57, Rambo13, Jetfanmack, and myself have lost credibility (we all lost on our lock picks). We still have a long, long, long, long way to go to match Raiderjoe.


    So I got my lock wrong. I actually enjoyed Tennessee winning, though. Jeff Fisher is my favorite coach and I don't like the Jaguars or Jack Del Rio. I did call the DEN-BUF and PHI-GB games perfectly. I had Denver winning but not covering. I had Green Bay winning outright. I expect them to be very good this year due to their defense. I drafted Mason Crosby as my kicker in a money league.

    ouch. the games I wasn't so sure about = train wreck.

    I still think I'll get my lock, though, and that's the most important thing.

    My lock of the week. Lions over the raiders worked for me. If you didnt see that coming then your just blind and have no clue about football. mark my words watch out for the lions this year.
