Behind the Steel Curtain Pick 'Em Challenge: Week 5

Here's a recap of the rules:

1)Pick the winners of the 10 games that I post each week. You receive 1 pt for every correct pick, and 1/2 pt in the event of a tie.  At the end of the season, the player with the most points wins $100 cash.

2)Your final score will be tallied by adding the BEST 13 weeks of picks. That means you can drop your worst four weeks. If you happen to miss a week, you will be credited with 0 for that week and will obviously want to drop it.  This rule ensures that people who didn't participate in Week 1 may still play and have a legitimate shot at winning.

3)Picks should be in before the start of the first game on Sunday. Ideally, they will be in on Friday so that I can enter them into my database. Submit picks in the comment section or email michaelbean1983@yahoo.com

It's still not too late for newcomers to participate. It will take some good picking to win, but because we drop the four worst weeks, everyone still has a shot to win.

Also, as an extra incentive for those who may not have picked yet, or who have struggled so far, there will be $25 Amazon gift cards awarded to anybody who correctly picks the winners of all 10 games during any week.
