The Sportsballers

We did not record a podcast this week due to the holidays, but you can listen to past episodes of our show on  iTunes ,  Spotify ,  Google Play , and  SoundCloud . This year we are using confidence points for a second competition to hang our hats on against each other. Evan had a fantastic Week 16 in both picks and confidence and will be very difficult to catch. There still is just a two-game separation between first and last in our picks pool but a 19-point difference in our confidence competition between Evan in first and Cory in third.

After his successful regular season, Sean faced quite a challenge in his wild card round game. He’d faced and beaten Anthony Battle twice in the regular season as part of a 6-0 season against his division rivals. This was only the second time in AFL history that two division rivals faced off in the postseason ...
