Congratulations To Buffalo’s Top Pigskin Prognosticator — The Winner Of Our Pro Football Pick’Em Is…
Seventeen weeks of pro football later, our Pro Football Pick'em winner has been crowned!
Congratulations to Dan Schutt of Hamburg, Buffalo's top pigskin prognosticator, whose 181-75 season correct-incorrect record landed him at the top of the leaderboard!
"I was surprised that I won by as much as I did," Dan said. "There were thousands of people that were playing...that was amazing, I thought."
Dan seemed pretty surprised when we told him he was the overall winner, but he said he lives super-close to Ralph Wilson Stadium, so maybe he's just absorbing football knowledge without even knowing it?
In any case, Dan's taking home some grand prize swag, including some food for a Big Game Party from Bocce Club Pizza, and will get to predict the halftime and final scores of the Big Game on February 2. If he predicts either score correctly, he'll get $1,000, and if he predicts both correctly, Dan will take home $10,000!
