1. Every Wednesday, I will predict the outcome of games involving area high school teams, Missouri (except this week), the Chiefs, the Rams, the Sunday night game, and perhaps one or two other NFL match-ups.
2. You pick the winners of these games and the final score of the Sunday night game, and also total yards for that game. The winner gets a free foot-long sandwich from the Jefferson City Sub Shop, which has the best subs in town.
3. You will not be competing against me, because the Sub Shop would go out of business if my friend Kurt gave away a sandwich to everyone who beats me. None of us want that. You're competing against each other.
4. The first tiebreaker will be the score of the Sunday night game; the second, total yards in the Sunday night game; the third, if needed, will be a coin flip. If the the coin lands on its edge, Rod Smith and I will leg wrestle to determine the winner.
5. The champ will be announced on Pigskin Picks the following Wednesday. Last week's winner: Stan Mantle. Send your picks to
tloeffler@krcg.com prior to 7 p.m. Friday.
6. Not that we foresee any problems but, just to avoid any possible sandwich shenanigans, a photo ID must be presented at the Sub Shop when claiming your prize.
Here we go with Week 4 ... and good luck.
JAYS 56, WASHINGTON 0 --- No contest.
ROCK BRIDGE 27, HELIAS 21 --- Good contest.
BLAIR OAKS 41, VERSAILLES 21 --- This game will likely decide second place in the Tri-County.
ROCKHURST 49, HICKMAN 0 --- The first of two straight trips to Central Missouri for Rockhurst. Next week won't be quite so easy.
MINNESOTA 3, KANSAS CITY 2 --- Football's version of The Biggest Losers.
WASHINGTON 20, ST. LOUIS 13 --- The Rams drop to 0-4, which keeps them in the thick of the NFC West race.
NEW ORLEANS 30, JACKSONVILLE 6 --- You're not in Kansas anymore, Blaine.
NEW ENGLAND 31, OAKLAND 17 --- The Patriots will not get swallowed up in the Black Hole.
BALTIMORE 24, N.Y. JETS 16 (Sunday night) --- The Jets are playing like the Mets.
