The Plural of Cheez It is not Cheez Its, it is Cheez It Crackers

 The Citrus Bowl sponsored by a cracker company.

The CheezIt Citrus Bowl features LSU versus Purdue. LSU are heavy favorites, with a -14.5 spread. The weird story coming out of this one is that Drew Brees has caused a little bit of a controversy. Drew (my fellow alum of Westlake High School and NFL future Hall of Famer) has taken a role as an assistant coach at his former university, Purdue. Evidently this was announced on December 15. The problem is that Drew is also connected with a sports betting entity in of all places, New Jersey. As New Jersey allows sports betting, this conflict has created a problem. So, the game has been taken off the board in New Jersey and all the bets placed on the game up to date have been cancelled. We are going to see more of this as the country has loosened its regulations around sports betting. As Drew has no relation to the Bowl Pool (other than, as I stated above, attending the same high school as the commissioner) we will not pull this game off our board. Game on! 

Leader Matt has LSU as do Alex and Tim. Joe and I have the underdogs, Purdue.
