Our latest podcast appeared yesterday on Soundcloud.com/obviousbrothers. Please go there and subscribe -- we really want to give away that prize (right, John?).
Our GTWTW (Games To Watch This Week): John picked Kansas over Baylor yesterday; then SC over Florida on Tuesday night. Steve picked Mich tonight over Minn; then Wed night NC over Louisville in the ACC GoW.
We picked Final 4 from Committee's list from last Saturday (Feb 11): John went 'nova, Fl St, Gonzaga, NC; Steve went 'nova, Kansas, Oregon, NC.
We are planning a pre-Oscar pod this week, with special guest Swerve. Look for it. And subscribe!

The Bros & NFL Playoff Fantasy Football (Winning!)
We haven't had the time (nor the inclination -- jinx!) to talk on the podcast about our team this year in NFL playoff fantasy football.
We tied for 1st! (yes, believe it or not, of 50 entrants, one other one had EXACTLY the same 12 picks -- this led to many dumb obvious jokes).
But it was close -- the final standings had us in T-1 by 1.1 points -- with us having 395. That's about .25% margin of error.
OF COURSE there was no money involved (wouldn't that be illegal?), but we are good bragging (see this blog post :))
But the Super Bowl was tense -- we went in 10 points ahead of anyone with different picks (we had Tom Brady and Julio Jones). The guy who ended up in 3rd had Freeman; the guy in 4th had Matt Ryan.
Although we weren't thrilled by the Patriots winning (listeners will have heard us both say on last week's podcast that we thought the Falcons would win), we were thrilled the Falcons didn't get the ball more and give it to Freeman, or Ryan pass for more yards, etc.
In case you care, here are our picks (those of you familiar with this type of thing know that you have X positions to fill, and 1 player from each team to fill them): QB-- Brady & Rodgers; RB-- Bell, Elliot & Murray (OAK); WR-- Jones, Beckham, & Landry (MIA); TE -- Kelce & Graham; K -- Prater (DET); Defense -- Houston.
Sweet win. Now if either of us can do the same in March Madness...(touch wood)
Look for our next pod, probably Friday afternoon, when we'll talk Super Bowl, what we think of the Selection Committee coming out with their top 16 on Saturday (and what they might be), and our pick of a GoW (Game of the Week) in CBB for the coming week. (Reminder: I got mine right with a 1 point Purdue win Saturday; John picked Arizona to beat Oregon. Close one! :))
Keep listening, subscribe, and tell your friends. That Depends contract depends on YOU! :)
