Don't miss out on NFL Pick’em sponsored this year by The Library Bar and Grill! This week’s winner of a $15 gift card is Addy Hagy. Addy was one of five individuals to correctly pick 11 games and was the closest to the final score of last night’s game. The others who tied with 11 correct picks were Will Newton, Ashley Lopez, Grace Newman and Brian Moore.

Remember, keep playing as every week is a $15 winner and the individual who picks the most games right over the whole year wins $50! 

Here’s the link to the whole season if you haven’t bookmarked it. Week 3 is now open.
