Photo Finish in 2025

The 2025 Bell Football Pool ended in a dead heat. Jill Franklin and Ashley Kreitz each finished with 191 correct picks over 18 weeks. The two were level at 181 going into the final Sunday, and when both posted 10 wins in Week 18, neither could shake the other. Kreitz, the 2024 champion, held on to a share of the top spot against a field of 22 players.

The chase pack never let up. Big Pete Bell sat one game back at 180 entering Week 18 and finished one game back at 190. Andy Bell had the best final week of the top four with 11 correct picks to close at 189. Four players ended within two games of the lead, and 13 of the 22 entrants submitted picks every single week. The 2026 season kicks off this week with a Wednesday game and a Thursday game ahead of the full Sunday slate, so get your Week 1 picks in early.
