Nothing is bigger than football, not even the belt buckle or mullet.

In every crowd of football fans is an 'expert'. You know that person. The one who can't stop talking about he or she has picked the winners each week or how they should be the coach. Well, we decided to gather a few of these 'experts' for a weekly pick'em challenge.

It sure has been a fun year picking high school, college and NFL games. We've seen perfect weeks and terrible weeks. As we head in to the final week, Mike Skow, of KTXS, holds on to a 1 point lead over Trace Michaels. Actually the top 4 are only separated by a couple of points, so it literally is anyone's game to win.

Last week was a weird one for all of us. Chaz had his 1st week as the winner. Trace and Skow faltered a bit allowing everyone else to get back into the race. Only 2 weeks left. It's anyone's game now.

Last week Trace pulled off a big win by coming in with a 9-1 record. Couple that with Mike Skow's 7-3 record and the 2 are now tied for the overall lead.

Last week was our worst as a group as we all took some big losses. But, at the end of the day, Mike Skow maintained his lead on us. We'll either have to start winning more or unplug his computer so he can't send us his picks.

We took the week of Thanksgiving off, but the previous week I went 10-0 followed by a group of 9-1 victors. However, Mike Skow maintains his overall lead on all of us. We'll catch him though...hopefully.

Last week, half the crew went 8-2 while the other half went 6-4. Mike Skow, of KTXS, went 8-2 and that vaulted him up to the number 1 overall spot.

Mike Skow, of KTXS, seems to have been sand-baggin' a bit. He started a little slow but has come on with some serious heat the past few weeks. He and I both had perfect scores this past week as we went 10-0. The boss lady is creeping back into the hunt with her 8-2 record and the Preach fell off his perch as he went 7-3.

Mike Skow, of KTXS TV, started off a bit slow but has really turned it on the past couple of weeks. This past week, he rocked out an 8-2 record, along with Preach and myself.

Skow is the sports director for KTXS TV (ABC affiliate), so I guess you'd say he's the ringer in the bunch.

Trace "Preach" Michaels is riding high with 2 weeks in a row of perfect picks. This week, I join him though with a flawless 10-0 record. However, Preach has the overall lead by a couple.

Going in to last week, Chaz had the overall points lead but his allegiance to the ailing Cowboys may have been his demise as he fell out of the top spot. Owning the overall standings now is Trace Michaels. We call him "Preach".
