Beat Football Cat! (2026 Week 10)

Look at me! I’m an old human and I can pick winners in football! PBBBBLLLLTH!!

Can YOU pick more winners than our own Football Cat? If so, you become eligible to win prizes! Football Cat went 11-3 for the week! Whereas Warren Dull’s Aunt didn’t make the right pick on the Sunday Morning game in Spain, or the Monday Night Football tilt, but she did correctly pick winners in the intervening twelve games! Amazing!

How to play? Simply pick who you think will win this weekend’s games. (Sunday and Monday only) Pick more winners than Football Cat, and you can win your choice of either a The15 Inside Joke Prize Pack, a $25 Ninety Nine Restaurant Gift Card, a $25 Amazon Gift Card, or a $25 Supermarket Gift Card! Your choice as to Market Basket, Big Y, Shaw’s, or Stop & Shop! (Or another, if you are outside the New England Area)

Fluff, CITCO shirt, & your choice of KENO hat! That’s a prize pack!

(One winner per week. In the event of a tie, a winner may be chosen at random. Winners remain eligible to also win in future weeks.)

Here are this weekend’s NFL matchups:

Patriots at Lions

Chiefs at Falcons

Texans at Browns

Dolphins at Colts

Vikings at Packers

Panthers at Saints

Bills at Jets

Jaguars at Titans

Rams at Cardinals
