Congratulations Elmer Johnson, of Southwick! You are the latest winner on “Beat ‘The Putz’”, our pro football contest which pits pigskin prognosticators against diehard fans of the NFL, and your average Joe.
While I was better than average this week, posting an 8-4 record, Elmer’s picks held together like glue.
Johnson went 10-2 and won the tiebreaker to claim a gift certificate to The Tavern Restaurant. He, along with six others, also claimed their spots in the grand prize drawing at season’s end for a big screen television, courtesy of Manny’s TV & Appliances.
Johnson, who makes his selections with his wife and grandson weekly, has online casino come close to winning the overall weekly prize but fallen just short … until now.
“Finally one of (my entries) has come through,” Johnson said.
While Johnson’s favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, are off Sunday – they host the Carolina Panthers on Thanksgiving Day – most everyone else will enjoy our Sunday night tiebreaker bonanza (Patriots-Broncos).
Good luck! – CP
