Many TV stations see a future in sports betting and are hoping that it is the new cash cow for the station.

The Firm’s WTXF Fox 29 in Philly is jumping on the betting bandwagon.

The Philly Inquirer writes that prior to this week’s Eagles-Packers game on Thursday Night Football, the station will debut Props and Locks, a weekly sports gambling show hosted by former Eagles linebacker Garry Cobb, Fox 29 sports anchor Scott Grayson, and FOX Bet gambling expert Todd Fuhrman.

The show will air for 12 straight weeks, through the end of the current NFL season.

The new show will just run 15 minutes, which Fox 29 senior executive producer Tom Louden said would force hosts to keep their opinions tight and informative.

“We may hit five or six headlines or topics for everybody to talk about on our panel,” Louden said. "Two or three of them will be on the game that night, then we’ll obviously hit something Eagles and something league related.”

Can’t wait until one of the anchors gives his “lock bet” and it’s wrong.

Might want to have someone else start the car in the parking lot.

Just saying…
