First though, last week’s results:

Jason- 8 correct
Amanda- 6 correct

I’ve decided that the winner will be the person with the greatest (positive) differential against me at the end of the season. As to what the prize is, that is still a mystery. So going forward, here are the standings:

Amanda -2

For week 2, our guest picker will be Matthew Minton. Remember that the asterisk indicates the lock of the week. If you lose the lock of the week game, you lose a point off of your total correct for the week (I won’t explain this again in Week 3). We’ll get to his picks in a moment, but first, here are mine: (our lines are from Thursday’s USA Today)
