Alright. Next up, bowl season.
We're going to take mscott's advice and use Army/Navy as the tune-up.

Here we go.
The lineup is a little different as it is only one game.
There are a total of 10 picks.
These two teams are about as evenly matched as you can get.
Hence the picks reflect that parity.

"You know something soldier, I've noticed that you're always last."
"I'm pacing myself, Sergeant."

big toe, that's kinda what I feel I've been getting kicked by weekly on these picks...

2. OVER/UNDER – SCORE: 28.5loss. ugh. see above, though the total actually dropped to 26.5 by kickoff so that last play safety certainly paid for a stocking gift card.

The game itself was not very good, but watching these teams slugging it out on the field was fun to see. Knowing these men have committed to put their lives in danger for all of us, plus seeing their dedication to each other on the field, is a heartwarming thing to see.

I didn't see the game , but looking at the stats 0 penalties. Nothing like the armed services for a well disciplined game.👏
