7 Friday Night Podcast | Ep. 2.33: Thursday Pick ‘Em (CIF Regionals)

It’s The Final Week Of True NorCal Football Picks, And The 7 Friday Night Crew Offers Analysis & Picks On 10 Different Regional Showdowns •

The stakes are higher for everyone now as the season moves past sections and into NorCal regional bowl playoffs — and that goes for the 7 Friday Night bunch too as Chace, Ben and Coach Terry Eidson attempt to finish strong when it comes to their NorCal football picks.

Coach Eidson goes first after going 3-0 in his section championship picks last week. He takes a stab at three regional games before offering up this week’s edition of “Dumb Football.” Then the hosts offer up analysis and picks on every NorCal matchup from Divisions 1-5, a total of 10 games. They do so in a challenge draft format to keep things interesting.
