Kyle's Lock-Street - 10.22.11

Lock-Street


So once again, the unpredictable game of Sports gambling has lead to another push for the weekend. I will say this though; coming out even Sports Gambling is unbelievable and counts as a major goddamn win.

I’m not sure if I have mentioned this, but due to be a degenerate gambler, I will end up placing bets throughout the week that I don’t mention on Lock-street. These are usually last minute and therefore I do not have time to post. For those who want answers regarding my insubordination, I will say that my week bets are usually thrust upon me with little knowledge of what the hell is happening and therefore I do not want to put others as risk. In fact, I broke my cardinal rule of betting on the over for baseball playoffs. Little did I know that the Texas Ranger’s bats have already started hibernating for the winter.

NHL

The Hockey season is upon us and while I am currently focusing on the NFL, I will start providing some insight into the NHL season. We have plenty of time to make money off of this long and rigorous season, so stay tuned. In the meantime, here are some quick thoughts if you really feel the urge to start throwing money around.

1. Bet every night on the Capitals. This is a team that is destined to finally win a championship

2. Hockey scoring continues to increase every season to the change of rules that were made to draw more fans in. Bet the over more times than not.

3. If you are going to take the under on certain games, make sure it is a Red Wings game as their defense is not something to fuck with.

Last week’s Lock-street record

2-2-0

Total Record

4-4-1

This Weekend’s traps

Houston Texans vs. Tennessee Titans (-3)-This guy is going to be tight throughout. Even with Mario Williams and Andre “Optimas” Johnson out, they showed a lot of poise against the Ravens last week and really beat the shit out of the Ravens until 4th. Hasselback’s brittle bones might snap

Chicago Bears vs. Tampa Bay Bucs (+1.5)- At 1.5, this is essentially a pick-em’ game. Really, this all depends on Cutler and how many dumbass mistakes he makes.

Locks

1pm Games

Detroit (-1) vs. Atlanta- Detroit is coming off being upseted by the hands of the 49s’ that almost lead to an old fashioned coaches brawl. If this game was in Atlanta, I would flip the script as the Falcons are pretty much untouchable at home, but this is in motor city with the fucking transformer himself Megatron looking to go to battle.

4pm games

Pittsburgh (-4) vs. Arizona-After looking forward to a season of mediocrity, they have rebounded back and started making statements by beating the shit out of teams. Big Ben would play with a broken arm and still lead the Steelers to a W. Arizona might be wanting a trade back soon if Kolb doesn’t deliver after receiving a monstrous pay day when being traded.

Oakland (-4) vs. Kansas City-The Golden Boy Carson Palmer is back in the league after a tumultuous departure from Cincinnati. Even if Palmer starts with only a week of the play book under his belt, if they keep it simple this week and with a run game backed by Darren “Mr. Plow” McFadden, the wily Veteran will get them a win. In all honesty, Palmer was right to want to get the fuck out of there. Granted the Bengals are exceeding expectations this year, but they are a franchise owned by the new worst owner in the NFL. RIP Al Davis.

Prime Time

Baltimore Ravens vs. Jacksonville Jags (o 39.5)-The Ravens on Prime time means several defensive TD’s. I have little doubt that Flacco and crew will put up mid-30’s points. The biggest issue will be if Jacksonville contributes anything to this total. They will most likely get one lucky touchdown when the Ravens have dominated enough to rest their starters.
