Another big week of action arrives and the 7 Friday Night trio is here for it, ready to deliver its usual NorCal football picks. And for the first time all season, SportStars Magazine editor Chace Bryson now trails his co-host Ben Enos in the overall season standings.
Per usual, both hosts make three picks from among the region’s biggest games of the week, then follow that with the always-spirited Challenge Round. Meanwhile, a confident Coach Terry Eidson also drops in for his three picks of the week.
