We are now 1/4 of the way through the season, and some of our leaders came back to the pack a little bit this week, giving some of us a ray of hope that we can still win this thing. A couple "upsets" this week in Stampede Blue land:
Also, nobody picked the Colts or Giants to lose straight up, which were pretty safe bets. Also, 4 people picked Oakland to win. For shame...
Let's get to the Results from Week 4. Topping our Straight Up contest this week is piojocuau, who went 13-1 last week, only missing Baltimore. Nice work! Our leaders after 4 weeks:
