New Year's 6

Bella, our animal contributor, will be lending us time from a busy schedule of sleeping 14 hours a day and rigorous belly scratches to make picks for sporting events.

The pick 'em process is a simple and scientific one.

Plates of her favorite treat (Fun Size Beggin' Strips) are marked with a team. Whichever plate she eats from first is her "pick". Her selections are circled in pink.

After taking a few weeks off, Bella has returned to pick the college football New Year's 6 bowl games.

Bella picked prop bets during the 2023 high school football season, finishing with a 26-24 overall record. Most recently, she picked the Thanksgiving games and went 2-2.
