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 .

If he can put together a couple more of those, it could be a dead heat between him and Cory entering the playoffs.   Sean Kennedy was the top finisher among our fans in the Pick ‘em in Week 16, finishing three points ahead of Eric.

Cory is on a roll again and won the Week 15 picks contest thanks in part to his two lone wolf wins.   Sean Kennedy was the top finisher among our fans in the Pick ‘em in Week 15, finishing two points behind Cory.
