Football Contest - Pick 'em

This contest was inspired by this note that was placed in a trade I received yesterday.

That it does! And since Sid was kind enough to send along two sets of 2008 Turn Back the Clock promo cards in the trade package he sent, I'm going to share the wealth and give one of them away. Here's what you can win:

One sealed 5 cent pack of Turn Back the Clock cards, the contents of which are viewable here,

these nine promo cards otherwise only obtainable at your local card shop, and a small pile of cards from the football team of your choice. There might be another surprise in there as well...

THE CONTEST:

Pick the winners of six college or pro football games this weekend. Any six at all, just post who you think will win in the comments. No spread, just straight up winners. If you pick the winner of tonight's Kansas at south Florida or Washington State at Baylor game, your pick better be in by 8:00pm tonight or you are disqualified. Otherwise the contest ends at noon tomorrow. The person with the most picks right wins. In case of a tie there is a tie breaker question:

Who wins the Eagles vs Dallas game on Monday night, and by how many points?

It's as simple as that, pick six games and the person who gets the most right wins. You know what else I'm gonna do? EVERYONE who picks all 6 games right gets cards from their favorite team whether they win the tiebreaker or not. Can't beat that...

So if you're a football fan, or if you like winning stuff, or if you just want to flip it on eBay, make your picks!

Unfortunately, Topps only sent out the first half of the even numbers to this set so far. There's supposed to be 40 total cards, with roughly half of them in Topps Football packs, but all we got here at the shop are those pictured.

Hopefully, we'll get the rest in a bit, and I can include them in another trade!
