This week’s podcast was recorded late Tuesday night. You can listen to our show on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and SoundCloud.
This year we are using confidence points for a little more excitement (hopefully). With 16 games slated for the first week of the season, every winner we pick will be assigned a different point value (1-16). If you pick the correct winner, you add one to your win column and you earn as many points as you assigned that winner.
It should be a fun season, so let’s get to our first picks!
