At suggestion of u/emyrs42, we have now enlisted the use of claude.ai to score the matches. While it was perfect with matches 1-5 (fixing some of my errors), it may make mistakes - please check your scores!

Since there are too many to put on the table below, I just added the points from the last match.

I will try to keep up with posts this year, but a toddler at home and increased responsibility at work is taking its toll. If you'd like to take over the Pick 'Em competition, please let me know!

This match versus Louisville is the 11th match of 2026 for the Dynamo with at least 36 matches scheduled.

Good Luck & Go Dynamo!
