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.
