The following are the Blogger's picks for this week's Beat The Blogger contest so you know what you're up against. This week's winner will receive an authentic signed 8-by-10 photo. Don't forget to designate a "doubler" pick to earn yourself an extra point if correct. It could mean the difference between winning and 2nd place.

Coming next week there will be a special March Madness edition Beat The Blogger contest. There will be 32 NCAA Tournament matchups for you to pick with the Top-10 scorers (plus ties) advancing to the following week. The Top-10 will then select the winners of the Sweet 16 round and the Elite 8 Round with the Top-5 (plus ties) scorers advancing to the Final Four the following week. Once we establish the Top-2 scorers from the third round, we'll toss out a new set of 10 questions with the highest total walking away with a prize package valued at nearly $500. The runner-up will receive (3) authentic signed 8-by-10 photos.

The March Madness Beat the Blogger contest will run for three weeks and the regular weekly Beat The Blogger contest will resume on the week of April 6 so make sure you among the top-scoring teams so you can keep playing each week. The contestants who advance will be posted on March 16, March 24 and April 1 with the grand prize winner announced on April 8. Good luck to everyone and make sure you spread the word about the contest to your friends. There's no easier way to win great, authentic signed sports memorabilia anywhere.
