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

Coming off a pretty mediocre session in the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” it’s time for the fifteen remaining contestants to choose once again, this time in the pro ranks. Plenty of different picks among the top dogs (plenty of head to head as well), which could mean that either Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter), takes an even distant lead over the rest, or that the rest reel him in and the fight for the top becomes just as tight as it has been from the get go. But enough of my talking, here are the picks for this session…
