Upcoming "Beat the best" college football contest

College football will be starting this month on August 26th and I will be holding a "Beat the best" college football contest every week for the entire 16 weeks of college football with the winner receiving $20 in free Steem. The contest is simple. Every week during college football, I will post 7 games with the spreads and all you have to do to win the $20 in free Steem is pick more winners than I do for those seven games for that week against the spread. I will post a total for an eighth game to act as a tiebreaker and the person closest to the total points in that game wins the$25 in free Steem. Depending on how much participation and upvotes the contest receives, I may add a first and second runner up in the event that anyone actually beats me that particular week. I'm thinking those prizes will be $10 of free Steem to the first runner up and $5 to the second runner up. I have 3 passions in my life.One is my beautiful girlfriend, the second is betting on college football and basketball and the third is crypto currency. I am lucky to win consistently enough to support myself and my family through sports wagering on those two sports, so I would humbly consider myself a pro, since I do make a comfortable living off of it. But I'd really like to see if anyone on good old Steemit can give me a run for my money, so to speak. So I will post the 7 games plus the tiebreaker game every Thursday morning starting on the 24th of this month, and I will also post my picks and the tiebreaker an hour before the start of the first set of games. Hoping to get a great turnout for this as all you have to do is pick more winners than me to win the $25 in free Steem! Also being ultra competitive, I really want to see if anyone can knock me off the throne😀 So if you wish to participate and be eligible to win the $25 in free Steem, simply follow me and upvote the thread when I post the seven games and the tiebreaker, and your picks of course and you will be all set to win the $25 in free Steem if you can out pick me which frankly I'd love to see happen but don't realistically see occuring😉. So if interested, follow me and upvote the first time you make your picks and you are eligible to win the free prize of $25 in Steem. In the event of a tie or ties, I will post a total for a Sunday NFL game and whoever gets closest, wins the Steem and can say they beat a pro. So Good luck and I hope to see a great turnout next Thursday when I post the first set of games. Remember, you must upvote the first time you submit your picks to be eligible for the grand prize of $25 worth of Steem. Also, if the contest is a bigger success than I think it will be and I get loads of upvotes and participants, I will increase the amount of the prize money$$
So good luck and if you think you can beat a pro at his own game, bring it on because I'm always up for some friendly competition.
I will also be running a college basketball contest when that starts but for now let's focus on a little college football. Roll Steemians!!!!😉

Decided to post the first four games plus the tie breaker game today as the lines are already out,so without further ado, here are your games ladies and gentlemen........(note: there are only 4 Saturday games week 1 so there will only be 4 games to pick from plus the tie breaker total.)
