Just like that, in what seemed something we just begun, the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick’Em Contest” arrives at its 50th picks in this session. While only four participant have a .500 or better record, ten of them went 3-2 or better in the last session, which means this could be the day/weekend where we could see some shake ups both in the top four leading the way and in the middle of the pack. Between the top three participants all have Ohio state, but they then have three different picks from one another, which could mean that the top spot could fall if someone picks right and someone else does not. We shall see as the day and night games unfold. But enough of the chit chat from me, here are the picks for this session…
