levacks locks

Super Wild Card Weekend is behind us and now it starts to look like the playoff structure we're used to in the NFL. With a 2 - 1 SWP weekend my season total is FINALLY on the plus side! 25 - 24 - 2 is the new record so if I can keep winning I might even make a profit this year. Time for the One Seeds to make their post-season debuts in the Divisional round so here are my picks for all four games this weekend.

This has not been my best year with the Locks by any stretch but it has been a strong finish. Last Locks went 2 - 1, leaving the regular-season total a mundane 23 - 23 -2. Let's keep the hot streak rolling into the post-season. Like normal I have three plays I feel the strongest about in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs.

Well kids all good things must come to an end and that was the case with my unbeaten streak. This week I trusted big favorites a little too much and paid the price. Thanks to the Jets getting a big win over the Rams I went 1 - 1 - 1 last week bringing my season total to 21 - 22 - 2. No rest for the wicked though, on to week 16!!!

BACK TO BACK 3 - 0 WEEKS! 6 - 0 in the last two weeks raising my TERRIBLE season record to a much better yet still embarrassing 20 - 21 - 1. This is the time of year when bad teams have proved just how bad they are and good teams are looking to lock up the playoffs and make statements. I'm not letting this heater end just yet. Let's go make some money!

Who had a 3 - 0 week?! I had a 3 - 0 week! It's about freaking time for me to get rolling and now my season record is 17-21. I'm about to utter the famous last words for the 2020 NFL season. I think I have it figured out. I think I'm dialed in! I think I can keep the winning rolling (AND THE JINX IS IN). This week my locks all favor the Buffalo Bills.

Just like the Ravens, Steelers, and entire NFL, my Locks were affected by the constant rescheduling of the primetime Thanksgiving game. With that game being voided I went 1 - 1 on the week making my total 14-21. I feel like this is the week to "backup" the Brinks truck thanks to backup quarterbacks. I don't just like my Locks this week...I LOVE THEM! (all opinions of my locks can and will change pending upon COVID-19 test results).

The time-honored tradition of stuffing our faces and passing out while watching the NFL might be one of the few things we can still safely do in 2020. I was a season-ending ACL injury from Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow away from going 3 - 0 on Sunday. It sucks that the great story of Burrow's rookie season is coming to an early end but the Locks must continue. Currently holding a record of 13 - 20 on the season I need a little home cooking to keep pushing towards winning. Here are my picks for the three Thanksgiving Day games which you can hear all three of on 104.5 The Team.

Desperate times call for desperate measures! I thought I pulled out all the stops last week and still posted another 1 - 2 week in my Locks(which I'm clearly not using that word correctly at the moment). So this week it's all about the quarterback position. After all the NFL is a QB league! So after all my research and digging, I found myself looking at the field generals in three games. Now I know the way back to the winner's circle.

There's an old saying out there "excuses are like butts, everyone has one" (I cleaned that up for the site). So I try not to make too many excuses when it comes to my "Locks" BUT it is super important to remember it's 2020 and things change so fast this season. Whether it's due to COVID-19 or the far more typical injury issues this season has been insane. I'm not trying to excuse my 1 - 2 week or dismal 10 - 17 season but just trying to add context. So as I give you my plays this week I recommend treading lightly and maybe cutting what you would normally wager in half.

I went 0 - 3!!! What a stinker! I hate myself over it! My season record is now a TERRIBLE 7-14!!! That's ridiculous. I have no excuses. I won't sit here and give a speech about comebacks this week either. I'll just shut up and make my picks.

One of my least favorite words in the world of sports betting is "if". If I had bet this team, If the receiver held on to the ball or in my case last week IF the games were three quarters I would be 3 - 0. Well, none of those things happened and I went 1 - 2 taking my season total to 7 - 11. A friend of mine likes to say "You can't eat the whole elephant in one sitting, you can only take bites of the elephant." I can't get a winning record for the season this week but I can take a bite out of my deficit. Let's post a winning record for week 7.

Coming off another 2 - 1 week raising my season total slowly. After a rough start to the season, I'm up to 6 - 9. Week six is the beginning of the bye weeks(non-COVID-19 induced bye weeks that is). So the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers, Seattle Seahawks, and New Orleans Saints are off this week. So this week I'm looking at teams with great young QB talent that are also on a mission to prove something.
