Cory bounced back after a poor Week 11 with a strong Week 12, including a perfect 4-for-4 on lone wolf picks. Evan had a week to forget, with just three picks correct. In the process, he doubled his disadvantage to second place from five to ten points in our host contest. Congratulations to  James Dailey , who won our Week 12 fan contest going away.

He’s won the last five weeks and is up to 94 points this season, good for the fan lead and a tie for second place in our host contest.   Email us at  thesportsballers@gmail.com  or DM us on Facebook or Twitter/X 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 13 pick...

I’m not bitter.   We are now through 80% of the regular season. Three weeks remain and all three will feature divisional matchups in our league. It’s rather frustrating that the first of those divisional matchups will feature six NFL teams on bye, including the Ravens and the Bills, each of whom have relevant defensive units and strong quarterbacks who are usually every-week starters. I say usually because somebody decided to bench the Ravens defense this wee...
