(Modified) NFL Pigksin Pickers Week 4
Due to an equipment failure, our weekly NFL podcast cut out on us about 25 minutes in. But it’s not like there was anything to talk about in the NFL this week right? Sorry about the error, but we have a discussion with Tim Trainor, Steve Hill and East Oregonian sports reporter Eric Singer in here, as well as our picks for next week: Carolina (+9), Atlanta (-8), San Francisco (+7), Denver (-2.5) and Indianapolis (+13).
We’ll be back, in our entirety, next week. Thanks as always for listening.
