Congratulations are in order for Frank Zomek, of Westfield who compiled a record of 11-2 in our weekly pro football contest, “Beat the Putz”.
There were a total of nine entries – eight others at 10-3 – who beat my Week 7 mark of 9-4. All of those contest sheets will be entered into our grand prize drawing.
Get your coffee brewing early this Sunday morning as the Lions-Falcons game kicks off at Wembley Stadium at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
While that game, expected to be televised nationally by FOX, is sure to whet the appetite, the Bears-Patriots get things started across the rest of the National Football League at 1 p.m. Eight games are slated for the early afternoon kickoff.
Intrigue should build to a deafening roar in the afternoon as the one-loss Eagles and one-loss Cardinals meet in the Arizona desert. Andrew Luck marches the Colts into the Steel City to face Big Ben and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then, in a superb Sunday night showdown – our tiebreaker game – Aaron Rodgers and the high-flying Green Bay Packers travel to New Orleans to take on the surprisingly struggling Saints and Drew Brees.
It should be a fun day of football! Get your picks in, and good luck.
