So shorting a Call will only result in a profit if other people feel it's overvalued and short it as well?

When you Short a stock or option you feel it's too high.  

But shorting a Call will only yield a profit if you sell before the opening weekend and it gets locked in, correct? 

So the only way to make some money would be for the Call value to drop below your starting purchase, correct?
