For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple: Post your picks to the matchups pasted in the post below, correctly pick more matchups than the Blogger and the rest of the field and win an authentic signed 8-by-10 photo from the prize vault. If there is a tie for the top spot (or if nobody posts a higher total than the Blogger, the prize will double to two photos the following week and everybody will get another chance to take down the Blogger and the field. Also, remember to designate one of your picks as your "Doubler" to receive a bonus point. Good luck and thanks for playing. Make sure you spread the word about how easy it is to win great authentic sports memorabilia playing Beat the Blogger.
