5 + 5 Pick’Em Contest: Week Six Recap (NFL Picks)

For the second time in a row there is some major shake ups when it comes to the first ever isportsweb “5+5 Pick’Em Contest”. From two leaders to one, Lauren Brownlow (@lebrownlow on twitter) jumps to second place by itself and now Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter) goes from first to third. In all four people did very well with a 4 and 1 record in this session, while nine (out of 16) participants ends this session with a winning record. In all the top half of the contestants are close enough to be in first place if they were to have a 5 point swing, which makes this race still very competitive. But enough with the stats, let’s check out the recap for this session…
