Pick ‘Em

RULES:

Take part in our HawkeyeDrive.com Bowl Pick ‘Em, and earn a chance at winning some prizes.

All you have to do is each of the 35 bowl game winners and email them to hawkeyedrive@gmail.com. No spreads, just straight up, who you think wins each game. This is free to play.

The deadline for submitting your picks this week is Saturday, Dec. 17 at 12:59 p.m. Central. Anything received after that deadline won’t be eligible.

Whoever finishes with the best record will receive a weekly prize from HawkeyeDrive.com and be recognized on here the following week.

We will break any ties by having you give a final score with your prediction for Iowa’s game against Oklahoma in the 2010 Insight Bowl. Remember to do this, or your record will not count.
