Michael Bowers is this week's winner!

Michael Bowers is this week’s Pig Skin Pick ‘Em Challenge winner. Bowers was just good enough to beat Dave Williams of 843 Health Marketplace and win the Up Move by Jawbone. Each week from now until the Super Bowl, readers will be given the opportunity to “Beat the Sponsor” and to win great prizes. We will email a link to the survey each Tuesday evening via our “Coming This Week” eblast and we will also put the URL link on our Facebook page and here in the paper, and on the bottom banner on our website, www.thednaielislandnews.com. To be eligible to win, you must select your entries online by noon on Friday. There is no cost to enter. If you’d like to be added to our eblast, please send your email address to sdetar@thedanielislandnews.com. You can also enter by going to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MFMMRVM to fill out your ballot or by dropping a paper ballot to our office by noon on Friday. Each week, we will also include a running win-loss record for each of our sponsors and the paper will donate $500 to the charity of choice of the sponsor who has the best overall win-loss record at the end of the season. The sponsor standings continue to be close. UBS and 843 Health Marketplace were tied for first last week, but this week 843 Health Marketplace takes a one point lead. Of interest this past week, not one sponsor or contestant picked the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the New England Patriots. Go Eagles! First place - Dave Williams of 843 Health Marketplace (104-43); second place - Steve Meyer and Jeff Burton of UBS (103-44); third place – Phil Bowman, sportswriter for The Daniel Island News (97-50); fourth place – Tony Pope State Farm (95-52); fifth place – Dr. Estes of Southern Orthopedics (94-53); sixth place – Helen Girly Brown (92-55); seventh place – Cara Schaafsma of Irongate Realty (87-60); and, eighth place, the employees of the Daniel Island Grille (81-66).
