2014 Season: Week 6 Picks
We continue football in the twilight zone and the full moon, though it’s waning, is still impacting the tides. So I’m going to forgo my usual analysis and pick from the gut. We’ll see how this works. I’m not giving this a lot of credence with the stressing week, month, how about year! we’ve had.
So here we go.

Week 5 Results
Had conversations on Twitter on Sunday night about the strange way this season has started. I’m not the only one who sees this as Football in the twilight zone. This past week I didn’t do so bad. Raised my average for the year, that’s gotta be good. And I won more than I lost.
I ended the weekend with a 60% win average. I can live with that as a comeback. And my season average is an ok 50% win ratio so far. Better than it was last weekend for sure!
So here’s how I did in Week 5.
