We recorded this week’s episode of our podcast on Wednesday. You can find that episode and the rest of our show’s library on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
Week 5 was a pretty close contest all told. Despite Eric finishing two game picks ahead of Evan and three ahead of Cory, only seven confidence points separated our three hosts.
For the first time this season, James Dailey did not win our fan contest. Sean Kennedy scored 104 points to win the fan contest and tie Cory for third in our ESPN pick ‘em pool. He is still in fifth place overall with James Dailey leading with 490 points, one ahead of Cory.
