Every year at the start of the NFL season, four friends guess the outcome of every NFL game. Correct picks earn a point. The person with the fewest points takes the other three gentlemen out to Outback Steakhouse.
Since 2018, four friends have turned NFL picks into an 18-week contest of strategy, friendly rivalry, and a very real dinner bill. Follow the picks, the stories, and the people behind The Outback Bowl.
The most handsome of the Outbackers, Bryant largely employs a strategy of favoring the home team. Bryant's seasons are historically "feast or famine," as he is the only player with multiple first place and multiple last place finishes.
In his day job, Randy is a professional data scientist. This makes it all the more puzzling that Randy's proprietary "model" to predict the outcome of each game has made him a 3-time loser. Known for his contrarian picks, he is nicknamed the "Island Boi."
Never lets a Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, or occasionally Saturday go by without stressing over his picks and impending doom
Tom is the only Outbacker to have never been presented the check, yet Tom is routinely responsible for the lion's share of the bill at each Loser's Dinner. Tom's strategy is simple: pick on pure instinct. He refers to this as the Pick the Winners strategy.
