Man am I glad Football is back.
The ups. The downs. The exhilaration & delight…also the dejection & misery one feels -sometimes on the same drive!
Watching a Football game with a rooting interest can be one helluva rollercoaster, but that’s only part of it.
It’s the excitement of the games, the community’s pride in their team, the camaraderie of that communal spirit – but also the trash talk, the tug-of-war between yours & rival fans…honestly, there’s so many things.
But one thing for sure is there’s nothing quite like Football Season, where a given fan can experience all of these wonderful things!
And then there’s the Pick ‘Em.
I don’t know about you, but the Pick ‘Em adds another layer of excitement and intrigue to the weekly run of ballgames.
Naturally the opening week didn’t disappoint: with all the craziness of the initial week of games, we got a competitive, spirited contest to begin our year.
And this week’s Champ jumped out in front, then got locked into a tie all the way down to the wire, besting the field by points from the Monday Night thriller to take the Week One crown!
Not only did our Champ make some great picks (how on earth did you know Detroit would Win on The Road??), our Week One Champion nailed the Monday Night pick – besting his challenger by one point in the tiebreaker.
It doesn’t get any closer than that!
So, without any further ado, I submit to you the Football Pick ‘Em Week 1 Champion
