I'm down in Florida for the annual Hawaii Trade Conference so I haven't been able to post the results from last week's contest but I will do so on Friday when I return. In the meantime, I thought I'd set everyone up with the matchups for this week's Beat The Blogger contest and keep things rolling.

As always, make sure you get your picks posted before the start of teh first game on Saturday and make sure you designate a "Doubler" to earn an extra point if your pick is correct. Good luck and thanks for playing.
