5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week One picks recap…

They say no one is perfect, thus I am glad that this “5+5 Pick’Em Contest” can verify that statement, as no one went five for five in their first shot at picking games. The flip side of this is that with the exception of the person who could not do it because they were on vacation no one went 0 for 5 either. Below are the picks and the results for each of the contestants in this Pick’Em competition. Please note, while I check all the picks multiple times just to make sure they are right if you see a mistake email me @ CarolinaDejaBlue@twcny.rr.com so that I can fix it. Furthermore if you are looking to pick the Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants game have it in before tomorrow night, then the rest you can send later. And now, without further ado here are the picks/results from week one…
