We are back baby!

For those new to the annual Pick'Em contest the rules are as follows:

1. Each week you pick the spread winner for 10 games (I'll pick 5 games from the Big Ten and 5 games from random conferences)

2. Simply reply within the thread your picks

3. Deadline to enter is 11am Saturday (Sometimes there will be a Thurs or Fri game but I try to call those out)

4. Your lowest score will be dropped, this way if you miss a week, you aren't eliminated

5. If there is a push, then no one wins that game

6. Game lines are from thescore.com, I usually send out the picks Mon or Tues

Remember, you are picking the SPREAD winner, not necessary who you think is going to win the game.

Previous champs:

2022 - @HawkinK.C.1
2023 - @Tdstick
2024 - @icwesthawk


Have fun and good luck!
