If you missed our Week 1 picks last week, we’ve changed things up a bit this year. Every week we’ll check the Bet MGM lines at approximately 5pm on Wednesday and make our picks live on our podcast.
You can compete against us, too! Email us at thesportsballers@gmail.com or DM us on Facebook or Twitter with your email address and we’ll enter you in our fan contest. You’ll receive a ballot every week after our Wednesday live show so you can submit your picks against the same spread as us before the Thursday night game. Play against us week-by-week or across the whole season!
Evan and Cory shared the top spot in our Week 1 results, and nobody from the fan side of our contest was able to beat Eric for third.
Congratulations, though, go to Sean Kennedy and Sean Dunn, who both got eight games correct and gave the same answer on our Week 1 tiebreaker questions.
Let’s get to our Week 2 picks!
