The following are the matchups for this week's Beat The Blogger contest. The games will be a wide variety to test your total sports knowledge so study up and make sure you get your picks in before the start of the first game on Saturday.

For those new to the game, you post your picks and hope your total of correct picks can Beat The Blogger's total and is higher than the rest of the field. The winner will receive an authentic signed 8-by-10 photo of LaDainian Tomlinson, Marshall Faulk, Drew Brees, Gale Sayers, DeAngelo Williams or Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes among others.

So read through the matchups and make your selections. Don't forget to include a "Doubler" which allows you to designate the pick your most confident in your "Doubler" and you'll receive a bonus point if that pick is correct. Spread the word to your friends and good luck to you all. Also, don't forget to follow the picks of "Kerrin" and "George Stroesenreuther" who are still battling for the top spot and the $350 prize package from last week's Super Bowl Edition after they tied with 9 correct picks each. I'll post the Blogger picks on Thursday so you know what your up against. Good luck.
