This week’s podcast was recorded late Wednesday night. You can listen to our show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
Cory had a strong opening week in the confidence points pool, with his biggest misses a 12-point wager on the Colts to win in Jacksonville, the only Sunday game with fans in the stands, and a 10-point wager on the 49ers. Evan, meanwhile, shot himself in the foot with misses on those two games, in which he put 15 on Indy and 12 on San Fran, as well as his 10-point gamble on the Eagles.
Eric led us in overall correct picks with 11, including a 2-0 mark on lone wolf games thanks to victories by the Rams and Titans.
We had three takers in our invitation to compete against us this season, but we’re still open for late entries. It will be difficult to catch up, but not impossible, so send your picks to us at thesportsballers@gmail.com before kickoff of TNF and get your name on the leaderboard.
