Hopefully, all are enjoying a relaxing day with family and friends!

We take a Bowl Battle break (no games today) at the mid-point of the regular season. After 8 games played over 6 days, the pace picks up dramatically with 2 on Friday and 4 on Saturday!

Given the diversity of the picks, everyone is technically in the running for one of the 4 playoff spots. But the odds are long for a few. On the positive side, here are your midseason leaders …

• 7-1: Emily, Futbol Fan, Viv
• 6-2: Macy
• 5-3: Carol, Commish, Noah, Papa, Retro

Merry Christmas, The Commish

Christmas Eve brings us a 7:00 cst Battle in Hawai’i.

Viv, the lone undefeated team, and 18 of 25 players picked the underdog California Bears.

Almost everyone is still in the hunt for one of the four playoff spots.

Good luck & Mele Ahiahi Kalikimaka!

December 23rd brings birthday wishes for Matt and our 7th Bowl Battle.

It’s a coin toss between Western Kentucky and Southern Miss in the New Orleans Bowl, 4:30 CST on ESPN.

… gives us a game to play.

We have one Bowl Battle today: the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl at 1:00 CST.

Our picks almost mirror ESPN with 60% selecting Washington State, including all 3 of the 5-0 players.

Emily, Futbol Fan (Kelly), and Viv survived the opening weekend undefeated and sit atop the standings at 5-0. Five others are just one game behind with 11 bowls remaining.

Remember, the TOP FOUR finishers make it to the Bowl Battle Playoffs. So, most everyone is still in the hunt!

No games today.

The next 3 games, CST …

• Monday @ 1:00 – Famous Idaho Potato
• Tuesday @ 4:30 – New Orleans
• Wednesday @ 7:00 – Hawai’i

Congrats to the 7 players who went undefeated yesterday to kick off Bowl Battle 2025 …. Emily, Futbol Fan, Macy, Papa, QKarlo7, Retro, and Viv.
