The Weekend
Dispatch.

Start Friday with Hickory’s picks, a look at the weekend ahead, and a piece of advice nobody asked for. Opt in from Settings. One email, Friday morning.

Fresh editions land in the clubhouse Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 6 a.m. Central: up to three NFL and college football bets, with a reason to like each and a reason it could go sideways. Some days, the pick is to pass.

Come back all week to talk it through in your private chat, or check the Ledger after games finish to see how his opinions aged. Tail or fade his tickets before kickoff and the members’ board keeps score; an optional Monday recap settles the weekend. Everyone gets the same picks. Your conversations are your own.

Sign in for the picks. An invite code unlocks private chat with Hickory.

“Anyone can read the picks. Dale’s speaking privileges are under review.”
