DeuceBowl XXII

Welcome to the 21st DeuceBowl... Jennifer, a chance to make history as no original DFC'er has won the title since DFC VI in 2005. Steven, a chance to become immortal and one of the all time greats with a 2nd title, becoming only the 4th DFC'er to do so.

As we did last week, here are 10 games, and then 2 contingency games below. If any of the 10 are canceled, we will use CG #1 first, then #2. If more than two are canceled, we'll just chalk it up as W for both of you.

And like any championship, it all comes down to the number of games you pick differently. We've had a season previous come down to the outcomes of a single game, but it is what it is. 

And you do have the chance to change your picks after submission until Friday afternoon. 

Good luck.
