Happy New Year! January 1, 2019 Update

Heading into the New Year’s Day bowls, Xiaorong Lai holds the outright lead with 19 out of 23 possible points. Xiaorong has rattled off an impressive 12 straight correct picks. Kris Bisci is hot on his heels in second place with 18 points. Interestingly, Xiaorong and Kris have all of the same remaining picks, except for the Outback Bowl, so that one may go a long way in determining the champion.

But other entries are still alive, with eight points up for grabs on New Year’s Day, including three games worth 2 points each. Each of the leaders picked all the remaining favorites in the New Year’s Six games, so it will take some bold upset picks if anyone wants to catch them.
