Here's this week's locks from your buddy Jay Thomas:

Tampa Bay (2-1) at Carolina (2-1)

Chuckie's new bride is quarterback Jeff Garcia – just what the Tampa Bay defense needed to lead their spleenless offense from last year...

Take Tampa and the points, and you'll be sipping Rum with Captain Morgan and the rest of his Buccaneers.

Bye The Way:
New Orleans has an opponent this week they can beat. Take New Orleans and seven points over the Bye.

Kansas City (1-2) at San Diego (1-2)

San Diego in all of its wisdom decided to fire one of the "winningest" and most emotionally charged coaches in the history of the NFL, and then replaced him with one of the "losingest" and unemotional coaches in Norv Turner. He has taken a Super bowl bound team into the toilet. Even Kansas City can beat them, if not outright, they should have no problem covering almost two touchdowns as underdog.

Also a great tease would be KC plus 19 and Tampa plus 9 1/2. Take that tease to the bank.

Chicago (1-2) at Detroit (2-1)

Of course the big story here is Brian Greise mercifully getting the start over Rex Grossman, which simply means there will be half as many interceptions, half as many fumbles, half as many turnovers and half as many points for Detroit.

I don't care how well Detroit is playing or how many players on Chicago's defense are hurt. It will be a low scoring win for Chicago, and they'll beat the three point spread. Also look for something under the 45 point total.

Happy Sunday everybody.
