What an exciting Opening of the 2025 Football Season!

The marquee matchups, the upsets, the amazing plays…man, am I glad football’s back.

Aren’t you?

I know.  All that is fine but the only thing that matters is who Won the money?

Well, let’s get to that.

In Week 1, we saw a lively competition with a tightly bunched leaderboard.  Several players had really strong showings right off the bat.

But two players raced ahead of the pack, nailing 13 of the 15 picks going into Monday Night.

High drama.

And the game itself was even competitive.

Naturally, with all the twists & turns, the surprising result settled our Week 1 competition.

And by virtue of that outcome, our inaugural 2025 Football Pick’Em Champion is

Dave J

Congratulations to mah man Dave!  Great job with your picks!  Have you finished sweating yet?

With the Victory, Dave J takes home the entire $270 pot into his billfold.
