NFL Picks: Week 5 Results / Week 6 Picks

Week 5 of the 2008 NFL season is in the books, and this is shaping up to be a very interesting season. My Seahawks are not doing so hot, but many other teams out there are looking to turn a few heads this year. Our NFL Picks are not so much different, with a few surprises. So let's get to it!

Here were a few interesting things that I noted from our Week 5 pick results:

-Finch865 was the ONLY participant to pick the Kansas City Chiefs over the Carolina Panthers, and got it WRONG.
-UnKillableBeast was the ONLY person to pick Tampa Bay over the Denver Broncos, and got it WRONG.
-Stopable was the ONLY guy to pick BOTH the Detroit Lions over the Bears, and the Houston Texans over the Colts, and got them BOTH WRONG.
-EVERYBODY picked the "Ballas" Cowboys to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals, and got it CORRECT.
-UnKillableBeast and Finch865 were the only people to pick the Miami Dolphins over the San Diego SuperChargers, and got it CORRECT. Good job.
-Deus Legend, Finch and JRC picked the Falcons over Green Bay and got them CORRECT.
Here is our leaderboard for Week 5 alone:

T1.) Deus Legend / 11
T1.) Finch865 / 11
2.) JRC 865 / 10
3.) Jerhawk / 9
4.) Stopable / 8
T5.) UnKillableBeast / 7
T5.) Flynn4DaWin / 7

Here is our XBLN NFL Picks PowerRankings, presented this week by Rock Band 2:

1.) JRC 865 / 46
2.) Flynn4DaWin / 45
T3.) Jerhawk / 43
T3.) Deus Legend / 43
4.) Stopable / 40
5.) UnKillableBeast / 38
6.) Finch865 / 32

So, JRC 865 is our new leader, overtaking the all mighty Flynn4DaWin, congradulations! We're starting to see some seperation in our scores, but it's still pretty tight all around. Finch865 is looking to claw his way back into this thing even after he missed a week. Unfortunatlely, El Bos was fired for having only selected in Week 1, but has failed to make any picks since.

Here are the matchups we'll all be looking forward to in Week 6:

Chicago @ Atlanta

Miami @ Houston

Baltimore @ Indianapolis

Detroit @ Minnesota

Oakland @ New Orleans

Cincinnati @ New York Jets

Carolina @ Tampa Bay

St. Louis @ Washington

Jacksonville @ Denver

Dallas @ Arizona

Philadelphia @ San Francisco

Green Bay @ Seattle

New England @ San Diego   (Sunday Night)

New York Giants @ Cleveland     (Monday Night)

Good luck everyone!
