This week’s podcast was recorded Wednesday night. You can listen to our show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and now Amazon Podcasts, too!
Eric came very close to a perfect week, but he missed out on nine points in the Monday night tilt between New Orleans and Las Vegas. Cory was the lone wolf in correctly predicting the Raiders would christen their new home with a win.
Overall it was a strong week for all three of our hosts as everyone got at least 13 games right and well north of 100 points. Cory led our competition with just 93 after Week 1.
As it stands, Eric has taken a healthy 3-game lead in our picks pool and has a 5-point advantage over Cory in confidence points. The two are tied with three correct lone wolf picks, though Eric has capitalized on all three of his opportunities where Cory has wolfed it six times.
We have 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.
