5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week Four recap (NFL Picks)…

We have arrived at the end of the fourth week of the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick’Em Contest”, meaning that the participants will have picked 35 games in all. With the top five contestants all go 2-3 and so there is no movement in the top tier. Tim Griffin has a good session and takes over the fifth spot in the race, while David Kerr’s 4-1 (best for the session) moves up several spots to sixth. M.K.’s 4-1 gets him in the hunt as well. In all there are nine contestants that are five or less picks from the top spot, which means a good session/weekend and the standings can be overturned. But enough of my talk, here are the result from this session…
