Golden Nuggets: Game Week And The Prediction Contest

Welcome back to the work week everybody. Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day Weekend (or just your random Monday for people outside the US). Game week is upon us but we're still mixing in some more season preview content here and there. Later today I've got a post looking at some tape of the Stanford offense and what it could mean for the 49ers this season.

With the season getting started this weekend, I wanted to give everybody a heads-up that we'll have the prediction contest back for another season. For those who have never taken part, I pick a group of six games and everybody makes their predictions on who will won and the final score. Bignerd handles the score-keeping and the contest will run all season long and into the playoffs. I'll have the first games posted later tonight in a FanPost. It won't include Thursday's season opener so people will have until Sunday to make their predictions. On to the links!
