Penultimate is objectively a better word than ultimate. Whatever. We did it, you guys. We reached Pick'em Dash Football's ultimate challenge (I know but stick with me anyway. You are likely still going to want to participate). Post-season contests are spreadsheet contests!!1!

Go straight to the registration page if you are more about picking winners than almost certainly probably changing your friggin life. Here is Your Four-Part Plan to The Best Outcomes in Life When digging up the courage to write this inspirational recruitment piece, I did what any of us would do given such an overwhelming task: I asked a chatbot.
