Think you can do a better job predicting high school football games than me? Go ahead and prove it.

Back for its second installment, the Beat Forsberg: Thanksgiving Pick'em 2007 contest is officially open for business. I've picked 40 of Thanksgiving's most intriguing gridiron matchups and I want to see how many of our visitors can pick more correct answers than me.

You can check out my ballot in the VIP section of the contest page. On Wednesday, I'll unveil a holiday edition of the Forsberg 5, breaking down some of Thanksgiving's biggest matchups.

It's easy to play, especially if you've been participating in our Prep Pick'em contest this fall. Hop over to our friends at SportsBallot and -- if you haven't already -- follow the simple sign-up process. Click on the Prep Football icon, select your answers, and submit your ballot.

Whoever picks the most correct answers will win a Sony PSP.

To add insult to my soon-to-be injured ego, we'll publish the names of all those visitors who pick more games correct than I do.

Best of luck to no one.

Grand Prize winner: The overall winner is the individual with the greatest number of correct answers at the end of the contest on Nov. 22, 2007 (unless it's Chris Forsberg, in which case no one wins.) In the event of a tie, the grand prize winner will be the person who chooses the greatest number of correct answers, and selects the most correct answers in the three tie-breakesr. If there's still a tie, Boston.com will pick a grand prize winner at random.

No purchase necessary. Entry deadline: Nov. 22, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. Winner will be notified via e-mail the week after the contest. Employees of the participating partners and the New York Times Co., and their affiliates are not eligible to participate.

Follow him on Twitter @GlobeHolmes.
  • Craig Larson: A native of West Springfield (Leo Durocher anyone? Tim Daggett?) and Curry College graduate (a proud Colonel!), Larson is the sports editor for the Globe's regional sections: South, West and North, as well as a frequent contributor on the college beat.

  • Zuri Berry: Berry attended the same high school as sports legends O.J. Simpson and Joe DiMaggio. (Guess which one is his hero.)
