Fannick made strong showings in all three sections of the contest and will walk away with the weekly prize of two pizzas from Pizza Perfect in Trucksville. The competition was close but Fannick picked all three high school games correctly, two of the three college games and three of the four pro games to garner the win. There seemed to be a lot of upsets in this week's competition as many contestants failed to pick Georgia Tech's upset of Virginia in the college games. In the pro section New Orleans win over Cincinnati and Kansas City's upset over the L.A. Raiders stumped many contestants. Games in this week's contest may be just as exciting and fun to predict. Anyone can enter, and the one to pick the most games correctly will enjoy two pizzas from Pizza Perfect in Trucksville.
