Beat The Blogger Picks
Posted by Tuff Stuff

We fell short of our goal of getting more than 300 entries in the Beat the Blogger contest, but we are inching closer and the numbers continue to rise which is good to see. One newcomer to the contest e-mailed me and said he forwarded the link to the contest to more than 500 of his co-workers and that's exactly the kind of initiative we need to reach our goal so follow suit and we'll get there. The good news is we'll give it another shot this week, and if we can eclipse the 300 mark, one luckyChipper.jpg winner will claim the authentic, signed Chipper Jones jersey that the Blogger is just dying to give away.

For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple. The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on the "Comment" section below the post with the matchups and then select their own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a "Doubler" and you will receive an extra point if you're correct so don't forget to designate your "contest.jpgDoubler" pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger's total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest and that's where the Chipper Jones jersey comes into play. If we can get more than 300 entries this week, the weekly winner will receive the Jones jersey so we need everybody to spread the word about the contest so we can reach our goal.

This week's matchups are posted below so make sure you get your picks posted 1/2 hour before the start of the first game on Saturday to be eligible. And don't forget to spread the word about how easy it is to win playing Beat The Blogger so we can reach our goal of more than 300 entries this week.
