This week’s podcast was recorded Wednesday night. You can listen to our show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Amazon Podcasts.
Week 3 was a hot mess across the league. Our three hosts only disagreed on the Sunday night game where Eric missed on his lone wolf pick. Of the 15 games we all agreed on, we only got eight right, keeping in mind that we count ties as losses.
Hopefully we’ll do better this week. Eric did manage to get 90 confidence points despite his 8-8 picks record last week as he extends his lead in our contest.
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.

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee has been postponed until Week 7 due to continued positive COVID tests within the Titans organization. We will operate the same way we have in the past for bye weeks. Our max is now 15 points for this week, so picks with more confidence than our PIT@TEN predictions now have one fewer confidence point each than we discussed on Wednesday's podcast.
