OFFICIAL CONTEST RULES: Every week, the Palisadian-Post will have a selection of NFL and college football teams. Check the teams you predict will win each game. The person with the most correct picks wins. In the case of a tie, the tie-breaker score will be used. The player who 1) picks the winning team and 2) comes closest to the total number of points scored by both teams wins. If one or more participants pick the winner and the same number of points, whoever is closer to the winning team’s score wins the contest. All entries must arrive at the office of the Palisadian-Post, 881 Alma Real Drive, Suite 213, no later than 5 p.m. on the Friday before game weekend. Entries received after that will be disallowed. There is a limit of one entry per person. No photocopies, computer-generated or faxed entries are permitted. The contest is open to everyone except for employees of the Palisadian-Post and their immediate families. Winners will be notified each week and their names will be printed in the subsequent edition of the paper. Winners must report to the offices of the Palisadian-Post to declare prizes. The decisions of the editors of the Palisadian-Post are final. Winning certificates must be used by January 31, 2018. LAST WEEK’S WINNER: CHRISTINE ODIONU (+8. 66 PTS)
