What to watch for
- Fan and picks counts are low right now (Merced: 1 fan, 0 picks; Gateway: 1 fan, 0 picks) — a great chance for supporters to boost those totals and show some early-season enthusiasm.
- Each team already has another game on the schedule: Gateway hosts Jefferson on Dec. 31 (Jefferson at Gateway, 2:00 p.m.) and Merced is scheduled at Oceana on Jan. 3 (Merced at Oceana, 1:30 p.m.). See the team pages above for links to those game pages.
