| It's even more of a lock without this guy managing the clock! |
For the record, my locks of the week are a shopping 1-4-1 so far this year. Take that for what you will (translation: take the opposite and run to your bookie). I made up a little ground on The Junkfood Guy last week but I'm still well behind for the season. Time to start being irrational . . .
My lock of the week this week is the winless Oakland Raiders +4 at home vs. Arizona. This is more of a bet against Arizona than anything; they've looked shaky the past several weeks against Denver and Washington, and their DVOA is actually only 19th out of 32 despite their 4-1 record. Oakland, on the other hand, is winless but not atrocious -- Football Outsiders has them ranked better than Minnesota, who has 2 wins this season. Oakland led the whole way against a strong San Diego team -- they'll get it done (or lose by a FG) this week.
