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

Not much movement at the top of the first ever isportsweb “5 + 5 Pick`Em Contest” as three out of the four top contest went 3 and 2, keeping Michael Pichan (@FantasyNomad on twitter), in first place and with a two game lead over second place and the third and fourth player switching places. In all nine (out of 15) had a session of above .500, with three of them going 4 and 1. All the contestants are going to keep doing like that if they want to have more than four of the players having a winning record.
