7 Friday Night Podcast | Ep. 2.7: Thursday Pick’Em (WEEK 2)

The 7 Friday Night Team Attempts To Regroup After A Rough Round Of NorCal Football Picks In The First Week Of Full Action •

While the first week of full NorCal action delivered plenty of excitement on the field, there was less enthusiasm in Picksville. Hosts Chace Bryson and Ben Enos were a combined 5-5 in their NorCal football picks, and Coach Terry Eidson went winless. The trio looks to change its fortunes this week, but the matchups don’t get any easier..

Chace and Ben each make three primary NorCal football picks from a selection of games, while once again closing with a spirited Challenge Round (where you may learn which big cat would win in a fight: Jaguar or Cougar). Coach Eidson squirms his way through picking the No. 1 De La Salle-Concord vs. No. 2 Serra-San Mateo game, and takes a stab at a few other big games.
