Locker Time

Here's my 2 locks of the week and I'm said to be telling you about these two picks, but the deal is you have to put away you the fact that you like or hate teams. What you really like is money and that's what I'm going to get you with these picks.

Take the Vikings -1.5 over the Panthers. No Steve Smith and no good running game makes it tough on the Panthers to win this. That and the fact that the Vikings looked really disciplined last week gives them the nudge this week. Granted no playoff team from the previous 2 years has opened the year 0-2, so of 24 chances, nobody has opened 0-2. Carolina will break that streak this year.

Other pick is the Saints, -1.5, over the Packers. Lets be honest, the Packers really suck and it will be an ugly year. Having a really solid running game and an average defense will be enough for the Saints to take out the Packers and there no name offense. When you sign P.O.S. Koren Robinson, you know it's bad.
