Congrats to Kyle Germann who won this week’s fan contest and tied our hosts with nine wins against the spread. That’ll help him make up some ground on the rest of the fans after he missed the Week 2 and Week 4 contests. James Dailey still leads the fan contest, five points ahead of Sean Kennedy but two points behind our third-place host.
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!
Let’s get to our Week 8 picks!
