So you have found a way to eliminate my scholarly dissertations. I've been on the ball field all afternoon, so I am not much in the mood to write anyway. This form works nicely, rcade, how did you come by it?

This form works nicely, rcade, how did you come by it?
I wrote it using Bootstrap 4, PHP and Smarty.
I'd like to find a way to save your dissertations. They're a fine tradition.

Perhaps I will enter them in The Huddle rather than load too much verbiage into the Pick 'em.
Look for them there.

Use this link to make your picks, which will be posted in this discussion when you submit them. Make changes up until the game time of each series (or the first series on prop bets).
There's a Comment field at the bottom of the form that you can use to talk about your prognostications.
Unlike past contests, picks posted as comments won't work. You have to use the form. I tried to make it easy and mobile friendly.
The first game is at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Make sure to get your props in by then.
