My lock of the week is Flyers over Rangers in hockey action this Sunday. All of a sudden the Flyers are a dominant team in the NHL, with big stars on every line and a Russian goalie named Sergei Bobrovsky who goes by the nickname Bob and has been solid.
I'd stay away from gambling on the Daytona 500, unless you're going with Earnhardt Jr. There's been chatter of him being allowed to bring a faster car, as a Jr. win would do wonders for NASCAR.
Get in on the action and comment or tweet your Lock of the Week. Add #smackjabber #lockitup in your tweet with your pick/s @quazflawless.

Due to the fan-voting element, and the inevitable use of props, favorite Blake Griffin will win the slam dunk contest #lockitup #smackjabber

ReplyDeleteI'm going to stick with my college hoops streak busters and take the Huskies over the Hoyas tonight in Hartford. Georgetown sports an 8-game winning streak, but 4 came at home against bad road teams and only 2 of the 4 road games were against opponents with winning records - Villanova and Syracuse, who have both struggled over their last 9 games.
ReplyDeleteNow, UConn hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire of late, and even at home they've laid some eggs, but games like this are why they pay Jim Calhoun the big bucks. A win tonight gets UConn to 8-5 and keeps them in contention for a double bye in the Big East tournament. A loss leaves them at 7-6, facing a final five games that includes three tough road contests and a challenging home game vs. Top 10 Notre Dame, a slate that could force the Huskies to play on Day 1 at Madison Square Garden in March.
I'm going to ride my own streak at take the Johnnies, plus 3 points, Saturday over should-be No. 1 Pitt.
