5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest: Week Seven Recap (NFL Picks)

If the NCAA session for the week was a great one for most of the participants, the NFL one was not. As most of the players in the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” just could not find many wins. The good thing is that when things like this happen there are shake ups and those are what we all want to keep the game exciting. That is exactly what happened, with the top dog, Andrew C., going 0 and 5 in this session after a 4 and 1 outing for the NCAA. In all number one slid to number two, while the fourth place player moved up to third. However, because of bad picking for most of the participants, with just one going over .500 with a 3-2 mark and six going 1-4 or worst, not much else happened and not many moved closer to the four front runners. In the end still six players are close enough to over take the top spot with one good session. But enough of my talking, here are the results from the last session and the new standings…
