DeuceBowl XIII: Cartledge vs. Hawbaker

For twelve years, a white plate has declared the greatest mind in football around... the best knowledge of the college and professional game, the most decorated person who has excelled week after week, made their way through fierce competition and survived the grueling rigors of the postseason. 

Forty-two started.  Sixteen were left standing.  Ten.  Then four.  And now...

Trey Cartledge, DFC XI Champion... and the 8th seed--lowest seed to ever make it to The DeuceBowl...

James Hawbaker, annual contender, winner of 3 division titles, former preseason #1 and the new reigning MVP of the DFC.

The first two games need to be in as quick as possible... the next two by Wednesday kickoff... all four NFL Games by Saturday kickoff.

Here are the games for DeuceBowl XIII:
