The 2025 MLR Championship is over. Along with the 2025 MLR season, and Ranger Picks MLR 2025 PostSeason presented by TJRS.

Perhaps not surprising considering the origin of Ranger Picks, the Free Jacks were the out and out favorite to win the championship (64%). Not much between Utah (14%) and Houston (11%) in 2nd and 3rd - recall that we place the picks at the beginning of the post season so kudos to those who actually ended up with NEFJ and Sabercats in the final!

Nefj-hou predictions.

As we all know now, the Free Jacks secured the three peat with a 28-22 victory in Rhode Island. For the championship round we had 5 points up for grabs, and 18 pickers took them:

Championship results.

As you can deduce, our leaders up to the championship had somewhat predictable final predictions - Sabercatto (HOU), Beaver Paw (NEFJ) and Ranger Frank (NEFJ), so Sabercatto getting 0 points tumbled in the overall standings:

Leaders after championship.

So in our 2nd year of post season picks, we have a tie break with two players making perfect picks and collecting all 19 points. In the first tie break we get closest (in absolute value as over/under wasn’t specified) to the final score.

Beaver Paw had a respectable prediction of 24-17 which I thought difficult to beat.

Our reigning post season champion Ranger Frank on the other hand, sweeps in with this prediction:

Absolutely incredible!

Congrats to our first back-to-back champion in Ranger Picks history!

Ranger Frank.
