Wow, who would have thought that the Browns could beat the Saints? Fortunately most everyone had already taken NO, otherwise this game would have been a blood bath for the contest.
A slew of other entries were saved when BAL ripped away a fumble and beat BUF in OT.
Finally, DEN was trounced by OAK.
The net result...4 first time losers and 4 knocked out. Say goodbye to Paul Bowman (two time champion), Doug Horstman (previous champion), Geoff Mince, and Chris Williams.
Counts:
12 vying for first
12 in with a second chance
19 out

Week 6 Summary
We had five losing picks this week. One lost for the first time and four are out of the contest.
Until this week no one had selected PIT. But this week PIT was used by 23 of the 32 remaining entries. I'm always leery about picking divisional games but this one seemed to be a "no brainer" and it was.
For those not choosing PIT, 4 had NYG, 3 picked CHI, 1 took SD and 1 did not pick. Of course the losers were CHI and SD. CHI might be the worst 4-2 in the league, but it's still hard to imagine they would lose at home to SEA. SD is 0-4 on the road this year (for future reference of those remaining.)
Say goodbye to P Black (playing for the first time), George Melissinos (tied for first last year), Matthew Valcho (my brother does not pick PIT), and Tim Swigor (on one of his entries.)

Week 4 Summary
There were seven losers this week. There were many others sweating it out because NO and GB both barely survived winning by two against CAR and DET respectively.
Two losers had TEN, four had IND, and one did not enter a pick. I didn't even realize that IND got beat until I looked at ESPN for the King standings. What a shocker!
Of the seven losers two lost for the second time...say goodbye to Kevin Whatley who was playing for the first time, and one of my Mom's two entries.
