Rodney Atkins was knocked off the top of the Artist Picks leaderboard last week by Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley. So in this week’s NFL football picks, Rodney returns to go up against Corey Smith in an attempt to land himself on top.

Corey Smith’s Live in Chattanooga album features a set from the legendary Track 29 venue in Chattanooga, including favorites like “The Good Life,” “Party” and “I Can’t Help Myself.”  He’s also playing a series of holiday shows through the end of the year in Birmingham, AL (12/27), Memphis, TN (12/28), Asheville, NC (12/29), Orlando, FL (12/30) and Myrtle Beach, SC on New Years Eve.

Rodney’s latest album Take A Back Road would fit perfectly in a Christmas stocking this holiday.  And note that on Jan. 5 of next year, Rodney will perform in Nashville at the famed Grand Ole Opry.

See if you agree with this week’s football picks from Rodney and Corey.

And don’t forget to head over to our leaderboard to see where your favorite artist stand including Florida Georgia Line, Big and Rich,  Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker , Lee Brice, The Farm, The Lost Trailers and more.
