Welcome to WEEK 1 of another exciting year of the PICKS LEAGUE. This is the 28th or 29th season (I can’t remember which). In any case, we’ve been doing this a while!
Last year, Jacob won his first-ever horse ass trophy. Who will win this year? The 18-week journey begins now!
If you’ve played in the past, you’re welcome to play again this year! We also expect new players. Please review the rules before making your picks. Good luck to everyone. Let’s do this!
