Think you can pick 'em? Match wits with other pro football fans in the weekly You-Pick-the-Winners contest, sponsored by The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.
This is the first of 17 contests. Enter to win valuable prizes.Each week, we'll post a new survey form listing all the games scheduled to be played that week. Log in and make your best guess as to the winners of each game -- straight up, no point spreads.
Once all the games have been played, we'll compare the entries against a list of actual winners.
Whoever makes the most correct picks will become a finalist for a $250 gift card to be awarded at the end of the season. (OK, it's not much; this is mostly for fun.) The finalist will also be invited to take part by phone in a new weekly video show hosted by the PD's Branson Wright, where he'll discuss that week's upcoming games.
In the event of a tie, we'll use the total score of the Browns game as a tie-breaker. Whoever comes closest to the total without going over will prevail. If there's still a tie after that, we'll do a random drawing. See official contest rules for further details.
