North Wright County Today Football Challenge: WEEK 1

Welcome to a new feature on the area’s resource for up-to-date local news – North Wright County Today.

This week, we’re kicking off (pun intended) our North Wright County Today Football Challenge, brought to you by St. Michael-Albertville Football Academy.

Each week, we’ll highlight local high school games, NCCA and the National Football League’s top match-ups with local relevance (including, often, Matt Spaeth’s Pittsburgh Steelers).

Fill this out before the games kick off Friday night and you’ll be eligible for a handful of prizes each week, as well as a season prize at the end, including a set of tickets to a Minnesota Vikings game at TCF Bank Field in Minneapolis.

Each week, our “experts” will also pick the games to give you a little help!

Rules: All games must be selected. Only one entry per person can be submitted (they will be screened). Ties will be decided by points in the “Game of the Week.” Be sure to click “submit” and include your email, or entry will be invalid.

Good luck!

Here are the expert picks:
