Moe Train Picks: Best Wing Sauces

Two favorites, opposite halves of the bracket. Moe called Mango Habanero a threat to win the whole thing in Round 1, then said the exact same thing about Honey BBQ in the last fight of the round. They cannot meet until the final. From here on, every round is a step on the road to that fight.

Round 1 is complete. All eight calls are live now, and Round 2 is set: Maple Bacon vs Sweet Chili, Jamaican Jerk vs Mango Habanero, Nashville Hot vs Garlic Parmesan, and Teriyaki vs Honey BBQ.
