Who Ya Got? BlueCross Bowl staff picks
For the final time this season, here are our staff picks for each of the nine BlueCross Bowl championship games this weekend at Tennessee Tech.
Twitter voters hold on to a one-game lead in show picks heading into the final week, while Scott Burton pulled into second place with a 6-1 record last week.
Chris Brooks fell to third after a 4-3 showing in the Division I semifinals, but he’s still just two games out of first place.
Once again, no lone wolf picks connected last week. Twitter voters missed on the Haywood pick, while Brooks dropped a game with Oakland’s loss. Lone wolf tries are now 16-42 for the season.
Overall, Burton leads Brooks by one game entering the BlueCross Bowl.
