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

With the first ever “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” arriving at its 75 picks the leader is still the same, Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter), but the second and the third switch, as Scott (@ScottPeceny on twitter), takes over for Andrew C. It was a great session for most of the participants as 12 out of 15 had above .500 performances, including three players getting a 4-1 record and one having a 3-1-1 outing. Five contestants are still within a good session from overtaking the top spot, so, with about 100 picks left, it’s still anyone’s race. But enough with me, here are the results for this session…
