Normally, as you can see in the archive, I include a breakdown for each of my picks, but today I’m short on time so I’m going to the slide-step and quick pitching you these 3 options.

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
