The Bad Left Hook Pick’em Game: Season 25 – Week 8

Welcome to Week 8! We’re making up for lack of quality with a large quantity of picks. Plenty of chances to score, and with just three weeks left in the season it’s time to make a move if you want to take the title.

As we approach the tail end of Season 25, remember to check how many double and triples you have left to use.

Let’s do it!

For those that haven’t played before, welcome to the best pick’em game going. Please join right in and start playing (just make sure to check out the rules – we promise they are very simple).

The numbers in your selections are binding, not the names. So, if you make a mistake and say “A. (1) – 1 – Thompson to win” … your official pick will be Solis. Feel free to leave out the names; the numbers will suffice.

An explanation of how to fill out your selections appears at the bottom of this post – please follow these instructions as it makes it easier for us to tabulate the results quickly each week.

**** Remember you do not need to make a selection on every fight; you are free to PASS on any pick. But you must make at least one selection to receive the 10 point participation bonus****
