7 Friday Night Podcast | Ep. 2.19: Thursday Pick’Em (WEEK 8)

Come For NorCal Football Picks On Several Of The Region’s Top Games; Stay To Hear Why Coach Eidson Thinks He Should Have His Own TikTok •

It’s The Ocho! Week 8 of the NorCal high school football season has arrived and the guys are ready with their picks for some of the top matchups in the region.

SportStars editor and host Chace Bryson still holds a very narrow season lead over co-host Ben Enos. Will that change this week? Both hosts made their three primary picks followed by the challenge round of giving one another a pair of blind picks. Coach Terry Eidson also showed up to confidently make his three picks for the week. He also offered a 30-second rant on tackling in the NFL and mused that he should start his own TikTok.
