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 rolling out two calls at a time. Matchups 1 and 2 are live now. The rest drop on October 16, 19, and 21.
