So, after having to wait a while it is once again time to get going with fourth batch of picks from the close to twenty participants of the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest” game. As you can see there are two in the lead at 10 and 5, but plenty are right behind them that a good day (or weekend) and there could be new names on the leader board by the time Monday night rolls around. Lots and lots of people are going with Virginia Tech taking care of Pittsburgh and for the most part most believe that Michigan State will beat and cover Notre Dame. But enough of the hypothesis, let’s get down to the picks, which are as follow…
