It's Nick Kostos and Ken Barkley. Are you better? You bet from Beck you are. It's all the screaming there as Manchester City taking the lead against Ashtonville on the final day of the

Premier League season. Manchester City winning the Premier League season at the death stealing the title away from Liverpool. Remember Liverpool was alive for the quadruple with the Champions League final potentially also and then didn't win either loss in the Champions League final. And like I get the over and I just that what that one was really annoying to Real Madrid. And then Manchester City winning the Premier League on these seasons final day. The Premier League season new season started earlier today on Friday afternoon on this phenomenal football Friday, Arsenal a 2-0 win at Sellers Park against Crystal

Palace, Nikki football cash to go 1-0 or 1-0 on the season as they would say across the pond. So Nikki football is feeling good right now. And Nikki football has his three teams, three teams set for English Premier League hard locks this season. Now just and Ken's going to pick his teams in the second. Jake's going to pick a team. Our pal Tyler Morales is going to pick a team. So Dylan let us know when Tyler enters the chat here. So he's involved. My thought process here. I wanted to have I wanted to pick Chelsea because Chelsea's the team that I follow and like that's my favorite.

So I wanted to do Chelsea. I wanted to do Tottenham because Tottenham's in the Champions League. So was Chelsea. So I have two teams in the Champions League. And also I find Tottenham with Antonio Conte as the manager to be extremely interesting and maybe live to win the Premier League. Maybe not if Manchester City's just going to be insane with Erling Alon now. But I want Chelsea's manager Antonio Conte for people don't know if he was Chelsea's manager when they won. He was he was Chelsea's manager and one of the spells where they want a couple of Premier leagues also managed in Italy for Juventus. And then

more recently in Termalon and won the the Scudetto over in Serie A. So Conte is like an incredible manager like basically wherever he goes he wins. And now he's a Tottenham. But yes, former manager of Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel Chelsea's current manager, former manager of PSG. And I also I believe Bayern Munich. So like we're really like like noted like celebrated coaches here. And then to the final team. I wanted a team not in Champions League qualification. The team that's not going to make the Champions League. But a team that's probably going to be mid table maybe kind of fight against

relegation. They did last year and basically survived on the final day of this season. And that is going to be leads. And their manager is American. And that is our pal Jesse Marsle leads this weekend taking on wolves in their opening game. So three teams for me this year in soccer hard locks for the English Premier League. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and leads United. So those will be my three teams. There will be times where I give out more batches because I'm following it. But these I will have a bet on each of these three teams for all of their match days. FA Cup, English Cup Champions League.

So that's like a lot of work. See, it's good thing the seasons 10 months long. So those will be my three. That's all we played that goal. What what day was that, do you think? Was it May? Definitely. Like May like 14th. Maybe something like that sport sport has no off season. This is worse than the NBA. Because the Champions League final is always like like the last Saturday in May. And like I think the Premier League.

Season ends like two weeks before that. There's like a two week break or three week break sometime or an early to like mid May. Yikes. Well, that's a that's a really short off season. That's I guess they only play one week, maybe 20 seconds. Okay. So those are my three teams. Chelsea, Tottenham and leads. Let's find out who who can is going to grab who Jake's going to grab. And I don't know if we're going to get Tyler or not. We'll find out. But in this edition, Jake soccer edition, Jake of hard locks.

It started with a bucket. Teams were drawn paths chosen. The you better you bet crew has their squads for a full season. They'll sweat every game. Every bet every day. And hopefully pick some winners along the way. This is hard locks.

Do we need like a like a more like sockery or locks open for a season?

But my the only problem is kind of want to keep it for all the sports, right? Like it applies to we're going to do this for a lot of different sports. We're going to do for college football, college basketball.

NBA, I think I'm back in on doing the whole week again. I don't want to do hard luck with the NBA.

I'm really happy you said that because I didn't want to do hard locks. I like handicapping the entire league.

I'm going to all do it for hockey for sure. I will also do it for hockey.

One team each conference probably something like that. Yeah, I like that a lot actually power.

We have to do that. It's going to be great. Yeah, but I mean, but like this could be awesome locks and the power.

10 seconds for like here's my pick. By the way, here are my picks for the Braves and the Mariners on the run line.

Perfect. I'm the the Giants don't play today and the Tigers play later. And I the Giants don't play on a Friday.

I looked. I'm sure I'm sure I looked and I looked and I looked and I didn't say anything. I'm sure you're right.

Everything plays every Friday. I understand the Tigers play the race, which is a continuation of the series from yesterday.

Giants don't play because the Dodgers are now playing San Diego and Giants played like five against the Dodgers.

They don't play just has to be like a scheduling quirk right for because of the like the mini lockout to start the season.
