Emory Hunt, the founder and CEO of Football Gameplan, is renowned for his extensive football analysis and background as a former running back. With a strong track record of 18-5 on his last 23 NFL picks involving New England, Hunt's expertise is highly valued in predicting the outcomes of football matchups.
