Lock It Up

My lock of the week is Devils over Thrashers Friday night in Atlanta. With all the talk of the losing streaks in the NBA right now, major sports media outlets are overlooking, as usual, a tremendous run in the NHL. The Devils have gone 22-2 in their last twenty-four games! Pretty amazing! Contrary to Bud Selig's NHL playoff criticisms, the Devils may not make it to the post season even though they are hovering around the .500 mark. They do have a chance though, and this chance has ignited a fire in the players and the fans, enough heat to burn the Thrashers.

No bets on Magic vs Lakers which is bound to have big ratings as both teams are looking great and have a bunch of big stars. It should be an even matchup as these two coaches are top notch, which right now just means they have multiple big name players and don't oust them for crying in the locker room.
