Deacon is being real coy about announcing his Captains picks for The 2013 Invitational.  Usually The Gazette has been given a sneak preview of who the selections are well in advance of the Pick'em Night.  He hasn't even given out a roster of whom he has invited.  Tractorman may have hit a nerve on the deck on Sunday when he announced to everyone that after a few libations at Ginos (rest in peace) Deacon had told him Birdie and Bear were going to be the Captains.  As soon as Tractorman said that Deacon's face got that "oh shit" look.  So he may have given it away already.  Or because he has been exposed he will now change it again to pretend he was not telling Tractorman the truth.  Its anyone's guess.

Here is how the prognosticators at The Gazette see it:

Rama vs House     3 to 1
Birdie vs Billy D   6 to 1
Blue Tees vs Deacon  25 to 1
Molasses Boy vs Skrocki 50 to 1
Cheez vs Bear 100 to 1
