With a record number of participants already in the mix, I make the following picks with mixed emotions. On the one hand, I love to compete and want each and every one of my selections to come to fruition which would make it tough for the Beat The Blogger faithful to compete. On the other hand, I truly enjoy the responses from our readers after they've defeat the Blogger and win the weekly prize. With more than $350 worth of prizes on the line this week, I'll be giving it my best, but I will also be rooting for someone in the masses to better my total and take home the prize package.

(Editor's Note: In the 15-week history of the Beat The Blogger contest, only twice has the Blogger posted a higher total of correct picks than all of the entrants so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you). And the two times he did manage to better the field, he still gave out the weekly prize so it's more of a bragging rights thing than anything else.
