It's A Lock

Happy Thanksgiving from It's A Lock Podcast - we are thankful to have found 5 locks for week 13 and boy are they tough to stomach, not unlike the fruit cake that Aunt Linda brought for Thanksgiving dinner. A special Thanksgiving edition of Diaper Dad Diaries and let's all have turducken coma's on the piles of cash we're going to win this week - enjoy!

4-1 in Circa - heyoooh! and sorry for the pump fake with the Commanders, we ended up going Eagles. Week 12 is the week of the road dogs - join us as we continue our trek towards the Circa Millions top 100!

3-2 in week 10 - on the right side of 50/50, can't complain. But we're not settling for average, not by a long shot. That being said, the week 11 slate is tip top and we are thoroughly confused. Also, we're hungry for pretzels (you'll have to listen to the ep to get this one). I think that's why MMM dropped off at the end, actually. Anyways - best of luck to anyone trying to figure out how the Chiefs are getting 2.5 or why the Cowboys are only getting 7.

Better late than never, coming at you with nothing but the necessities - TNF recap of a barnburner AFC North matchup then the rest of the Circa pick 5 for Week 10. Of course LOTWs and DDD - enjoy!

Finally a winning week in Circa - even if only 3-2, it feels good to snap the 3 weeks of 2-3. What is Halloween going to bring us in week 9? Treats, of course! Tune in to hear how we break down the week 8 games and turn them into week 9 locks. Of course, Triple Ds (Diaper Dad Diaries) to close us out. Enjoy!

Our third straight 2-3 week in Circa - you could hear a pin drop here in the studio things are so tense. Not! We may be in a bit of a slump but we are cutting through the noise and headed straight for the promised land of locks brought to you by NFL Week 8!

Yikes - another 2-3 week in Circa while the rest of America celebrates as favorites go 12-2 ATS and 13-1 SU - not good for betting dogs. Not to worry, we are hard headed and are going down with the ship - tune in as we hand pick the dirtiest dogs that have 0% chance of covering in week 7!

Back after a week off (real life stuff, yuck) and better than ever (even better than Get Up) to recap the rollercoaster that is the NFL and coaching decisions that will make your head spin even faster - Zach Taylor WTF 3 straight runs when Burrow was on fire? Sean McDermott airing it out 3 times from your own goal line? (we actually don't hate that one) Then spinning it forward into week 6 picks that will make you dry heave like you just changed a baby's diaper after a bad yogurt pack - enjoy!

Them dawgs, baby! Wow, another week of underdogs covering spreads and winning outright. Raise your hand if you're still in your survivor pool... anybody? Jeezum, what is going on? Tune in to find out and cash in on our Circa picks which have us 10-5 and top 200 out of over 5000 contestants!

Top 10% in Circa Millions, thanks largely to the underdogs that absolutely dominated in Week 2, except for the Giants, of course (sigh). Oh well, first its a big toe, then its a kicker pulling a hammy trying to chase down a kick return that gets called back from a flag... the gambling gods can only hold us back for so long. Tune in as we blast off into winner's orbit as we recap week 2 and turn the insights into our week 3 Circa picks!

3-2 in Circa Millions because of a big toe and a half point... figures we're getting screwed already. But not to worry, tune in as we recap each and every week 1 game and analyze them into the MOST ATROCIOUS week 2 picks you have ever heard. Get your puke bags out because these picks are so disgusting they have been condemned by the city... and are going to get us the coveted 5-0 week. Of course, Diaper Dad Diaries to close us out - enjoy!

We've survived another brutally boring (and hot) offseason thanks to the NBA, MLB, Olympics, and Dallas Cowboys front office ineptitude (sign Ceedee Lamb and Dak already!), and now it's time to tighten up as we analyze all the offseason movements and give out our week 1 picks nice and early. And, of course, Diaper Dad Diaries. Here's to another season!

Back to review the wild NBA playoffs and preview the NBA Finals - will the Celtics and Jayson Tatum finally bring home the hardware or will Luka and Kyrie steal the show? The books love the Celts, so of course we're locked in on the Mavs. However, we may have found the bet of the Finals in the series total games... listen to find out!

Wow it has been a wild NFL offseason and we are finally out of the lab to break down all of the trades and signings and definitely answer who the winners and losers will be this next NFL season (hint: SAINTS and STEELERS BABY). Sprinkle in some golf and March Madness and voila: It's A Lock Podcast!

Thank god for the second half because man that first half was slowwww. We're here to break down everything from the national anthem to the new overtime rules, including the commercials, half-time show, and all things prop bets (spoiler alert - hope our loyal listener faded BBB again). Closing out the NFL season with a proper send off - It's A Lock Podcast style - enjoy!

Short recap of the Conference championship games then we hit the props hard! Let's gooooo Superbowl!!!

Back and broke-er than ever, if you're not fading BBB by now then it's kind of on you. Who will get the kiss of death in the Conference Championship games? Tune in to find out!

Kicking off the New Year strong with a short recap of the week 18 games, the NFL playoff picture, then laser-focused insights and analysis into the 6 wildcard round playoff games. Will the Eagles continue to struggle? Who has the last laugh in the Goff Stafford showdown? Tune in to find out!

Let's close out the year with some technical difficulties - sadly we lose MMM 75% of the way through the episode but not to worry we still finish strong with college football bowl games, NFL playoff pictures, and week 17 action as we look to start 2024 off with a bang in the green!

Merry Christmas / It's a Lock!!!

Mad Money Mike is officially on fire - 10-3 in locks of the week (LOTWs) - how will he extend the streak? Listen to find out, he's as good as the 49ers lately or the Cowboys; definitely not about to pull a Chargers on us, we hope... Another episode of breaking down the NFL week 13 slate, some bonus NBA IST, college football, and MLB news, and previewing NFL week 14 which now has Saturday games - happy holidays!

We're back and better than ever, breaking down the week 13 matchups including the 49ers drumming of the Eagles, the surprising Packers win over the Chiefs, and the Chargers LIVOTY (Least Impressive Victory Of The Year) 6-0 over the Pats - yikes. Then we spin it forward into week 14 previews and picks - did we mention MMM is 9-3 in Locks Of The Week (LOTWs)??? Yowzah he is adding the spice to the egg nog this year!

Happy Thanksgiving from It's A Lock Podcast! I hope you didn't bet a three team parlay with the Lions like we did, and immediately lose all our cheddar on Thanksgiving day. Anyway, we're here to break down all the Turkey day action, a live-stream of the end of the Dolphins domination of the Jets, and then we take a look at the rest of the week 12 slate. Enjoy!

A full episode this time! If you can survive the sound checks and audio difficulties at the beginning of this episode then you will be rewarded with world class analysis and insights from the week 10 slate that we parlay into locks of the week for week 11 . Thank God we have some solid night games this week - Ravens Bengals and Chiefs Eagles - a lot to unpack - so get listening!

Another lost pod - at least we saved the locks of the week and diaper dad diaries!

Where's episode 9? Oh, you're welcome - both of our locks of the weeks whiffed so turns out Zencaster did everyone a favor by eating our podcast. Don't worry, we've got a fresh one right here for you - and these locks won't miss! Recapping all 16 games from a juicy week 8 filled with upsets (someone poisoned Mahomes!) and sadly more injuries. How to turn all that into cheddar for upcoming week 9 slate? Only here, on It's A Lock Podcast...

Lotta turds this week... Broncos, Saints, the rest of the NFC South, the EAGLES, the 49ERS - what the heck? The script-writers are out for blood but listen closely as we will continue to navigate the landmines of the NFL on the way to Fort Knox - which is where Mad Money Mike was reporting from this week! Although, it looked strangely like a suburban Portland-area garage... we'll give him a pass because he is 5-1 on his Locks Of The Week (LOTWs). Who is he taking this week?? Stay tuned!

Yowzah - the Pats and Cowboys got pounded worse than Mad Money Mike at a roulette wheel. The Niners and Saints absolutely dominate like Big Bet Brent on a golf course. The Bills hit a speed bump in London vs the Jags, the Steelers with an early candidate for comeback of the year - so much to talk about in the week 5 recap and then spinning it forward into the week 6 lookahead - join us as we break it all down and look to continue our red hot locks of the week (LOTWs)!

Back at it - wow did we all eek by on our parlays as the Eagles and Chiefs barely squeak out victories. Tons to go over, no time to waste - click play!

Better late than never, right? Sneaking this in before the opening bell on Sunday morning which starts even earlier this week as the Falcons travel all the way to Europe to get beaten by the Jags in Toy Story animation! Both 2-1 on LOTWs and looking to improve to 3-1, this episode is short and sweet, because we all have things to do (but not jobs to do, looking at you MMM).

So the Jets experiment is over until they get a new QB - that was fun. The Bills and Josh Allen bounce back, as do the Chiefs as Kelce and Chris Jones rejoin the squad. The Lions lose in surprising fashion to the Seahawks. Is your head spinning yet? So is ours, but that's not stopping us from laying down the law in form of week 3 picks and locks of the week! Week 2 locks are still pending tonights MNF double-header, but by the time you're listening to this, we'll both be 2-0 and still undefeated. It's A Lock!

End to end action, suspense, and surprise in week 1 as the Chiefs lose the season opener on TNF and Aaron Rodgers goes down early on MNF - tune in to hear insightful analysis (har har) as we recap week 1 of the NFL then spin it forward into cash money picks in week 2. Locks of the week both hit last week, diaper dad diaries also smash hits - enjoy!

It's a lock! Week 1 let's goooo!

We're back and laying down locks and lotittiotas's right out of the gate (less than 2 minutes for Mad Money Mike's first lotittiotas) as we preview the upcoming NFL season by going over all 32 NFL team's season win totals and breaking down why they're going to suck or why they are going to win the Superbowl. Don't worry about the math, it doesn't add up, because at the end you'll just be worrying about what to do with all the cheddar we're going to be stackin'. Let's get crackin'! It's a lock is back for another season!

Recapping a wild weekend in Vegas with Degen Dad while also discussing the many sporting events and seasons that just wrapped up.

We're back, like the Miami Heat, not like the Lakers, and definitely not like the Celtics. Can the Heat continue to make magic as huge underdogs to Jokic and the dominant Nuggets? Already down 1-0 and working with less rest and no altitude, Butler and the gang are up against the wall already. Don't worry, we're still finding locks and value even in this lopsided series. A dash of NFL, we mention the words golf and hockey, locks of the week, and diaper dad diaries all packed into this episode - enjoy!

Yes it's been about a month but that just means we're coming at you hard and fast with insights and analysis you can't find anywhere else. The theme of the pod is game 7s... bet 'em like you're betting on the sun to rise tomorrow because it's gonna happen. We're all in on NBA playoffs, from recapping the first two rounds to predicting the Conference and NBA Finals. Then we hit some NFL news and notes coming out of the draft, locks of the week, and close out with diaper dad diaries. Enjoy!

OK OK OK, we know what you're thinking - who blew it worse this past week, our podcast or Brooks Koepka. Well, let us answer that definitively by saying we didn't lose out on $3.2 million dollars. But yes, every pick we made was essentially the kiss of death - Rory and JT miss the cut, Homa doesn't sniff the top 20 and Horschel (who's nickname requires me to click the "explicit" tag here on Spotify) teases us by making the cut but then proceeds to essentially get dead last. Not to worry - we've got bounceback analysis and bets that are fade-ready - NBA Play-in tournament picks so bad there's no way fading them fails. You're welcome!

The UConn Huskies complete their domination of the NCAA Tournament with a statement victory over the SDSU Aztecs, and we're here to recap the entire Final Four weekend for you. Then, we touch on NBA as the playoff race is coming to a climax, MBL as opening day and the rule changes have dramatically changed the sport, then we zone in on.. The Masters... (insert Masters piano music). Tiger is back, LIV is here, can Rory complete the career grand slam, so many storylines, we've got them all and some bangers with some serious odds, we're talking +2000 and higher! Close it out with locks of the week which, parlayed, comes to +280! Thank us later, easy game, no biggie, on to the next lock. Happy Masters weekend!

What happened to episode 28 you ask? Don't worry about it - let's just say the combination of March Madness and a knee surgery was enough to KO us for 1 week but that's it! Anyways we're back to recap the madness thus far and preview the Final Four - can UConn cut down the nets as -125 favorites (ridiculous!) or can Miami, FAU, or SDSU continue their Cinderella story before the clock strikes midnight! We've got you covered. We do touch on NFL as season win totals came out, of course, locks of the week, and diaper dad diaries are especially good this episode - enjoy!

Golf, NBA, NCAA, NFL, and some hockey(!) - we've got it all covered in today's pod!

Join us as we get some serious schooling from college basketball expert and special guest MacDaddyBets. From the ACC to the PAC-12 and everything in-between, we break down all the Conference tournaments and then focus on the NCAA Tourney, just in time for March Madness and selection Sunday on 3/12. With an eye on the odds, MacDaddyBets finds us winners and dark horses that are poised to stack us cheddar this month. Did I mention he is 14-4-1 in his last 19 picks of the day?? Follow him @MacDaddyBets13 on Twitter!

Spring training just started but that's not stopping us from hitting all the sports now that we don't have 16 NFL games to dissect. Don't worry though, we kick it off with NFL news and notes - the QB carousel is heating up but the dominos haven't started falling yet - we break down who should go where, especially Aaron Rodgers since he is just getting out of his darkness retreat. Then we head to golf and recap some recent tournaments and look ahead to The Players Championship. Was Tiger's showing just a flash in the pan or can he continue to compete? Next, we post up on some NBA post-Allstar Break news and notes - are the Lakers going to make the run or was their 27 point comeback win vs the Mavs a dead cat bounce? Can't talk b-ball without talking March Madness so we run down some key dates and tee up a big pod next week with special guest MacDaddyBets! Finally we close it out with locks of the week and diaper dad diaries - enjoy!

Wow. Just wow. 59 minutes of championship level football only to be ruined by the refs. Of course we have to open with that. Of course we have to bash the refs. They ruined an excellent performance by the two best NFL teams vying for the ultimate title. But, we are able to eventually put that aside and talk football, the actual Super Bowl game itself. Wow, what a game! 73 points, Chiefs coming from down 10 at half and a re-injured Patrick Mahomes puts on a gutsy performance to once again remind everyone that he and the Chiefs are a legacy in the making! Props recap, news, views, and analysis you can't get anywhere else, and of course, Diaper Dad Diaries - enjoy!

After much delay and hype we are finally releasing our lock props in this super special Propaganza episode! From the coin toss being tails to the last play being a kneel down, we've got every angle covered with over 30 props to keep every second of the Super Bowl on the edge of your seat. Buckle in, get your pen and paper out, and get ready to stack ched! Double locks of the week and diaper dad diaries to close out this absolute gem. The Smithsonian better clear some space in its virtual archives for this masterpiece. Brrrrring brrrrring, NFL archives calling, it's an instant classic!

Sorry for the delay but it took this long to stack all the ched from the Divisional Round thanks to the favorites winning besides the Bengals who routed the hapless Bills. Join us as we dissect all the nuggets from each game then turn them into insights and betting angles for two awesome Championship matchups - 49ers Eagles and Bengals Chiefs (the rematch). The big wig puppet masters really gave us a treat this weekend - let's go!

Back from Vegas, we start off with some tales from Sin City before diving into the WILD-card round of the NFL playoffs. The Vikings are finally and once-and-for-all ousted by the Giants and forever marked as frauds, Tom Brady and the Bucs get dominated by the Cowboys, and lots more. Then we look ahead to the Divisional Round and oh boy we load up the bet tracker as Mad Money Mike keeps riding with the dogs. He must not like money. Close it out with locks of the week and diaper dad diaries, enjoy!

The Steelers almost make the playoffs but the @&#$ Jets can't beat the Dolphins so we'll have to watch Skylar Thompson get demolished by the Bills next week - oh well, at least the Lions were able to end the miracle resurgence of the Packers so we can all stop talking about Aaron Rodgers but we know that won't happen. Live, from Vegas!!

Ring in the New Year with a recap of some crazy NFL and CFB action that kept us up until the clock struck midnight. The clock also struck midnight for many teams across the sports, as Ohio State and Michigan both took L's and will be watching Georgia vs the TCU Horned Frogs in the CFB Championship game. In the NFL, the Jets and the Commanders also turned in their playoff bids in disappointing fashion. The Packers somehow control their own destiny and Aaron Rodgers is as snide as ever, the Steelers are still alive, and the Jags take on the Titans for the AFC South crown. Week 18 promises to be just as wild and we've got all the tips, with locks of the week and diaper dad diaries to boot. Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from the entire It's A Lock crew (it's just us 2) - our gift to you is solid gold in the form of 78 minutes of audio as we recap Christmas week games and preview the New Year's slate. The playoff picture is murkier than ever and after listening to this episode you won't know who the hell to bet on. Happy holidays!

This special overstuffed Christmas edition has it all as we break down the wild and crazy NFL week that was riddled with comebacks including an NFL RECORD-BREAKING comeback by the Vikings. Poor Colts. And then salt in the wound they lose JT for the season with a high ankle sprain. The Bucs and Cowboys blow 17 point leads, the Texans take the Chiefs to overtime, and so much more. Then, we look ahead to the Christmas week of games, including 3 games on Xmas day but the NFL schedulers really gave us 3 lumps of coal with these garbage matchups. But it's OK, there's no byes, it's Christmas, and we can still stack ched regardless of who the NFL rolls out onto the field. Locks of the week and diaper dad diaries to close it out - enjoy!
