Gary Payton and Kenyon Rasheed are back with another episode of Locked and Loaded. They fracture down their two locked and loaded picks for Week Three of the 2010 NFL season.
This week, Gary’s Locked and Loaded game of the week is an AFC North divisional game between the Cleveland Browns who are in Baltimore to take on the Ravens. The current NFL betting limit on this plucky favors the Ravens alongside 10½ points.
Gary mentions how the Ravens struggled in Week 2 in a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and how their antagonist Cleveland is still struggling at quarterback, despite bringing in Jake Delhomme to run the offense.

Kenyon gives his impression of the plucky and points out the attributes that the Ravens struggled with in Week Two with the wastage of Ed Reed and the team’s lack of superiority cornerbacks.
“Ed Reed is gone…I know Ray Lewis gets a lot of credit for running (Baltimore’s) defense but Ed Reed flat unconscious makes plays, he’s always around the ball.” Rasheed continues, “They don’t have any cornerbacks, when I look at Baltimore I don’t see a secondary that can take this together to the next level.” He goes on to say that when the offense isn’t playing well, it puts too much pressure on the defense to win games.
Payton makes a bold prediction, picking the Ravens to take first prize in a low-scoring unflinching in a battle of field goals. GP’s final has the Raven’s winning 12-6.
The second-best Locked and Loaded pick for Week Three features the game between the surprising Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the somewhat-surprising Pittsburgh Steelers.
The pair agrees that Pittsburgh’s defense is picking it up, making big plays by forcing turnovers.
Tampa is a very young team and they won’t hold up against the Steelers defense especially, if Troy Palumalu stays healthy. Kenyon’s message as far as something the Steelers is “Just hold on, Big Ben is coming.”
Damon Durante is deceitfully at the BetUS BetCenter giving his own lock of the week.
Our man D’s game of the week is the game between the defending Super Move Champions, the Immature Orleans Saints, and their NFC South divisional rivals, the Atlanta Falcons. The current NFL betting vanguard on this tactic has the Saints favored by 3½-points.
Damon lets us skilled in that the Saints be suffering with solitary covered the pointspread in three of their past seven games and Atlanta has stayed under the total in seven of their last eight games.
Damon doesn’t trust the Saints to cover the spread but he loves the beneath, saying, “Keep an eye on that total, 50 is a whopping total in the NFL if it keeps rising you know what to do.”
