Six-Pack Pick'em Challenge: Week 5

Well, would you just look at that!

Just a few weeks ago, I mocked @NCF for his ineptness in choosing a winner. Now, following week four (and as of this week eliminating the "low two" scores from everybody's total), he sits atop the leaderboard looking down upon the competition! Well done, sir! NCF joined @Batgirl, @BF004, and yours truly in nailing four of six picks, to include the upset pick, to take week four honors.

At the other end of the spectrum...tsk, tsk, tsk @lake shark. What happened to you, brother? You used to be good at this! :idn: ;)

For the record, now that the "low two" games are factored in, it's a tight race all around for all regular participants. Hell, even those who have already missed a couple weeks of picks are still in it. We're now into the meat of the season where good teams have separated themselves from bad teams so, in a perfect world, these picks should get easier.

But, as we all know, it's far from a perfect world...good luck!
The rules are simple:
  • Choose an outright winner from the four select games of the week
  • Choose an outright winner from the Packers matchup
  • Choose an outright upset winner from any weekly matchup
The upset pick can be from the previous five games already in play or any of the other weekly NFL matchups on the schedule, so long as your chosen underdog victor was listed as a kickoff dawg. For reference, a listing of Vegas odds can be found here.

I will maintain a cumulative tally of correct choices with the winner declared at the end of the regular season. You'll get a mulligan for two weeks, be it forgotten picks or a bad week, but the rest are on you. The winner will be declared at season's end for the participant with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the participant with the most correct upset picks will be declared the winner.

Need motivation? The winner will receive a special gift from the Packers Pro-Shop from the Mod Team. See? Us Mods aren't all bad...
Now, on to the picks!

The Four:
Buffalo Bills @ Houston Texans
New Orleans Saints @ Kansas City Chiefs
Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots
Dallas Cowboys @ Pittsburgh Steelers

The One:
Green Bay Packers @ Los Angeles Rams

Your upset pick:

Good luck to all participants!

The running scores are below. The first column under each week indicates total correct picks, the second column your upset pick score.

Why would you pick an upset team after the game has been played?

The man is battling hurricanes and no power. Cut him some slack. But, yes, @Cdragon, you should probably make another pick since Atlanta beat Tampa on TNF.

Well now, that answers my question. At least he has the chance to change it.

I saw @Pckfn23 chose Texans as an upset pick. Unless I’m mistaken, I believe they were favored.
