Cory won the host contest for a third straight week, but it was another sub-.500 week for all of The Sportsballers.
Andrew Perez and the other fans fared much better. He got nine games right and both James Dailey and Sean Kennedywent 8-8 on the week.
Dailey remains the sole leader in the fan contest with 106 points, but Perez is now just one point behind.
