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.

FINALLY a winning week last week for my locks! After going 2 - 1 in week four I doubled my season win total and now have a record of 4 - 8. Sorry for the slow start my friends but this is a sign of things to come! I feel strong and I feel like I'm about to hit my stride and start making Rivers Sportsbook regret opening back up! Week 5 I'm focusing on teams with something to prove!

I honestly feel like I'm the best 2 - 7 NFL handicapper in the game! Wow that sounds even worse then when we say it about actual football teams. I'm fresh out of excuses and off to my worst start to an NFL season EVER! A lesser man would take his ball and go home or at least remove the word "Locks" from his title but WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?! NO! And it's not over now. i tried going with my heart last week and that STUNK. So this week I'm going with my gut ( it's way bigger anyway).

Just like Indianapolis Colts quarterback Phillip Rivers (pictured above) I had a rough week one to the NFL season. Rivers threw two costly interceptions on his way to being outdueled by Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew. An upset that ended MANY survivor pools for NFL fans everywhere. Just like Rivers, I couldn't win either. I went 0 - 3 to start the season and now I shall look to rebound in week two.

For years now one of the biggest, best, and most opinionated sports handicappers in the world, Brandon Lang has called in and shared picks and stories. It's honestly hard for me to say which I enjoy more. The beauty of Lang is the man speaks his mind and he speaks freely. You may not always like what he has to say but you always know exactly where he's coming from. I say all of this because we had planned on having Brandon on the show today before the Yankees vs Orioles game last night was rained out causing a doubleheader today. Brandon is a man of his word and still came on the show and he was ready to go!

I already feel like a winner just having the 2020 NFL season kicking off but since The Rivers Casino and Sportsbook is opening today at 6 pm it seems rude to not go win their money. Last year I finished with 32 wins 24 losses and 3 pushes meaning if you bet $100 every one of my Locks you would have made $740. I'm not mad at that but I want more! So here we go with week One Locks, fan-free just like most NFL stadiums.

In the now-famous words of Michael Jordan, I have a "Competition Problem". So the fact that the NFL kicks off this Thursday has me chomping at the bit to make some wagers. Not sure when Rivers Casino and Sportsbook will be open but for fun here's a whole bunch of Prop bets to give an idea of what the oddsmakers think your favorite teams and players might do this season.

The new cast or should I say contestants for the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" is out and I might have to watch. I've prided myself on never watching DWTS but this cast looks like it has must-watch potential. Former New York Knicks star and current wine lover Charles Oakley is on the show and so is the woman that took down Joe "Tiger King" Exotic, Carole Baskin.

As we prepare for a 60 game regular season it's kinda tough to decide what numbers we're going to see from our favorite stars. Here's a list of prop bets with what BetOnline.AG thinks we can expect form the players on The New York Yankees and New York Mets.

In what can only be called a "Patriots move" the New England Patriots have agreed to a one year deal with quarterback Cam Newton. This is a low-risk high reward kind of deal for the Pats. If Cam isn't the starter he makes the league minimum if he hits all the incentives he'll make about $7.5 Million. So what effect will Newton to the Pats have on the AFC East?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks appeared to be on a collision course before the coronavirus outbreak halted the NBA season. Now that we know how, where, and when the NBA will return does Vegas still think that Lebron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo will face off in the Finals...

Now that Phillips Rivers has agreed to be the new QB of the Indianapolis Colts and Tom Brady has reportedly decided to continue his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sportsbooks have reacted.
