Hello Double Coverage readers!

As many of you have seen, the Double Coverage staff likes to test our football knowledge against each other by setting up a pool of staff picks.

We take ten of the week’s best games and try to guess which team will get the W.

For the first time ever, we want to let you have shot.

Each Thursday, you can comment who you think will win the same games the staff bets on. Whichever one of you gets the most picks out of 10 correctly, will get their picture in Double Coverage the following week.

Think of it as your own little trophy!

An octopus named Paul may be a psychic when it comes to the World Cup. The deep sea seer, now residing in an aquarium in Germany, has correctly predicted both of Germany's games: Its win over Australia and its surprise loss to Serbia.

Paul chooses winners from two boxes of treats. The latest forecast: Germany will beat Ghana in Wednesday's game.

The NFL has a long-standing agreement that franchises share equally in television revenues. To commentator Frank Deford, that's socialism — and, he says, the league's TV policies are out of step with the times.

At issue: blackouts meant to punish fans who are happy to watch the local team's games from home.
