Some interesting developments this week in the Prediction Contest. Our leader, TouchdownMonkey, had his trimmed from 5 to 3, but allowed a whole mess of others to get back into it by struggling this week. We only had 1 person hit double digits this week with 10, and it was mgrex03, or ME! I finally get to gloat a little. And I did inch back to within 9 of the leader, with 2 weeks to play. We had 3 people get 9 correct, and they are:
- JakeTheSnake
- oldecoltsfan
- bluegirl
Congratulations to all of you on the good week. The Predictor was right at .500 this week at 8-8, and it is now at .505 (113-111). Overall on the week, Dave Richard of CBS Sports had the best week going 11-5. He has moved into 2nd place of our contest, only 1 back of TouchdownMonkey.

A week after picking the Bengals to cover against the Colts, and being very wrong, he picked the Colts to cover an even bigger spread against the Lions. I blame him for the game being close.
The results below are (originally) sorted by Total score. Feel free to click on a column and sort them yourself. I've again separated out the "experts" who just picking straight up winners, to make it easier to read.
Please remember there is a game Thursday (IND @ JAC), duh. There's also a game Saturday Night. I will keep it open until Sunday at 1:00 ET, but if it is after kickoff of either of the early games, you'll just miss that game. If you want, put your picks for Thursday and Saturday in the Comments here.
