Very strong performance by all the contestants this week as they did their NFL picks on the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick’Em Contest”. The top eight players all went 3-2, with the exception of David Kerr who hit 4 and 1 (the week’s best record). In all, out of sixteen participants, ten had a winning record, and only one went worst than 2-3 on the session. With that said, after a total of 45 picks it’s still very tight at the top, with just two picks dividing the top four participants and with half the field being five or less picks off from the top dog in the race. But enough of my talking, here are the results…
