No Winner, Pot Jumps to $200

For the first time this season we didn’t have a winner in last week’s reader football pick it contest. UT’s loss to Florida knocked out 71 of the 74 ballots we received. Freddie Ramirez gets special recognition for starting 9-0 before incorrectly picking the Jets to beat Dallas.

No winner last week means this week’s pot jumps to $200. Good luck!
