HSBT
Hewes Super Bowl Trophy
Welcome to HSBT Season 35 and the 2023 NFL Playoffs!
In: Updates
9 Jan 2023Participants,
After a tumultuous week, we’ve now landed on a league, owner and NFLPA approved agreement on how this year’s playoffs will be conducted. Changes will be made as the playoffs move forward with regard to the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. More to come on that if (for the Bengals) and when (for the Bills) it transpires. The best news is that Bills S Damar Hamlin is now out of the hospital in Cincinnati and back home in Buffalo!
The schedule for Wild Card Weekend is now posted on our site under the Standings tab, so please take time to begin studying the 6 games on the slate for this weekend. As customary, I will have an in-depth analysis and predictions for each of those 6 games later in the week.
We have also updated the other pertinent tabs on the website – Hall of Winners, Participants and Cumulative Stats – with updates since last year’s trophy competition
The first playoff game is Saturday @ 4:30pm, so please get all 6 weekend game picks submitted via our website (Submit Picks tab) prior to kickoff of that game.
Comeback Kid, winner of the last 2 trophies, has indicated that the 3rd time is a charm and he will be going for our first ever “3-peat.” Looks like we might need the Bills Mafia to knock on his front door and pay him visit.
More to come later in the week. We are also hoping Ben the Butler has a speedy recovery!
Until then, I remain
The Commish
