Thanksgiving Day Football

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 three NFL games and lone college football game that will take place on Thanksgiving.

Bella picked prop bets during the 2023 high school football season, finishing with a 26-24 overall record.
