Tony’s going to have to go back into hiding pretty soon if things keep going like this. He dropped all four of his bets in week five, depleting his bankroll to dangerous levels.
Andy hit just two of four, but his sizable bet on New England and Tom Brady’s return set him up with a nice, healthy positive for the week.
He’s hovering around the .500 mark in picks and has stayed close to even with his bankroll all season.
No, we’re not handing out trophies for our lackluster performances so far, but for the first time this season, we all got our survivor picks right.
That had to do, in large part, to the return of Angry Tom Brady and his opposition, the lowly Cleveland Browns. Anthony Maggio was the only picker who did not feast on the Patriots’ week five match-up. He won, instead, with the Oakland Raiders.
There are several competitive games this week. So finding a good survivor pick was challenging. So we all climbed on the backs of two teams. Here are our picks for week six:

It seems like one of us gets it almost each week – but it’s never consistently the same person.
John Vomhof Jr. paced the picks last week and he now leads for the season. Andy and Tony have stabilized a bit. Anthony, after posting the best picks for week four, dropped to the bottom with a .500 mark in week five.
Week six includes another slate of largely non-descript games. This league can post a lot of mediocre schedules, when it backlogs divisional match-ups for the last couple weeks of the season and puts a couple teams each week on bye.
We’ll see what we can make out of this week’s jumbly mess.
