We'll be dishing out gift certificates to the weekly winners and a much bigger gift certificate to the overall winner to GameDay Depot, where you can use your hard-earned cash towards team memoribilia! And quite frankly, with the amount of participants we have right now, you're almost guaranteed to win something at some point.
