Locks Struggle But Still Manage Winning Record
It wasn’t the best performance we’ve seen from the Locks but it still produced a winning weekend. Jill 
turned in her first losing record, going 1-2, while nephew Pad and husband Gil logged 2-1 Saturdays. Gil’s was especially sweet, as he had been coaxed out of semi-retirement by his nephew. “I was happy to be back but I’m still not at the top of my game. I picked Cincy-UConn under 52 and both teams almost went over by themselves.”
Well, there’s just no pleasing some people but, with a stellar record, the Locks have pleased more than not. Let’s take a look at this week’s selections.
Locks of the Week
Jill (14-7)
Idaho-Boise State over 63-
I’m staying with Boise but only on the over as they let me down last week. I expect the Broncos to try and run it up on their in-state rival but Idaho can score, too, as eveidenced by the 45 points they scored vs. Nevada that sent Gil over the wall.
Utah + 17.5 over TCU-
TCU is ranked fourth with an outside shot at the BCS Championship. They’ve been killing teams lately but Utah’s lost just once in two years and they’ve already beaten Oklahoma. I think the Utes lose here but not by double digits.
Oregon -17 over Arizona State-
Took a look at Arizona State’s record and, boy, do they give up a lot of points. Oregon’s going to be real pissed after getting their Ducks knocked off last week and should win going away.
Pad (4-2)
Clemson – 6 over North Carolina State-
Clemson is really starting to hit its stride and has its sights set on an Atlantic Division title. NC State is really weak but, somehow, managed to beat Pitt. That’ll remain their one upset as the Tigers keep rolling.
San Jose State-Utah State over 55.5-
Another case of “Arifemetic”. Bothe teams can score, neither can defend. Good bet that one of them will come close by themselves.
Western Michigan -10 over Eastern Michigan-
Eastern Michigan is 0-9 and will get no sympathy from its biggest rival.
Gil (9-11-1)
Cincinnati-9.5 over West Virginia (Friday)-
Playing a hunch here that Cincinnati will take advantage of its second straight week on National TV. Would feel a lot better about it if they hadn’t given up 45 to UConn but I think that’ll be a wakeup call.
Missouri +2 1/2 over Kansas State-
The Big 12 North is a weak division but Missouri is one of its better teams. They have more talent than K State so I’m picking the Tigers.
BYU -27 over New Mexico-
Went with Utah over New Mex last week and found out what a generous team they are. BYU QB Max Hall should have a field day.

rescue, it couldn’t have happened. Any thought of an unbeaten week was pure fantasy. However, in 2010, it’s exactly how the Lock family, Gil, Jill and Pad, started the season. Now, while we don’t expect to see the same kind of success throughout the season, we here at CollegeSportsView.com are starting to expect much from Rino Rife Sports Handicappers as they seem to have their fingers on the pulse of college football. Here’s how they see the campaign’s second week. Click here to read more.. »
