32 games. 20 days. It doesn't get any better than that.
Bowl season has kicked off with the Poinsettia Bowl tonight. Naturally the TNJN sports staff and some friends have provided picks for each of the games.

Points received for a correct choice are in parentheses. Standings will be updated following the conclusion of each game and can by found beside each players name.
