Coming close to the half way mark of the NFL here are this session of the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest”. After these picks the participants will have six regular season NCAA picks, plus the five BCS games at the end of the bowls, as well as nine weeks of the National Football League, plus all the playoff games, which means in all there are over ninety picks in all to be made. Making the race to end still wide open for all to win. On the other hand, if anyone wants to win this they need to get over .500, which right now only four of the contestants are. But, enough of my talking, here are the choices for this session of the NFL picks…
