WEEK 9 STAFF PICKS / WEEK 8 RESULTS

Rules: Make your picks in the comments section, in the order below, using the 2-3 letter abbreviation of the winning team. Please follow this format as failure to do so will disqualify your entry. First ten members to make their selections selections get in. When a scoring tie occurs, the winner is chosen by the member who entered their picks first.

Not a great week for those of us at the top. Myself (77-41), Lester (74-44) and Brendan (73-45) all had very underwhelming 8-6 weeks. TJ (73-45) kept his fourth place spot, despite going 9-5.

At 11-3 this week, Steven (72-46), Sam (72-46) and Kev (71-47) all improved their positioning in the overall rankings. Dave Gilbert had an outstanding performance this week, going 10-4 and improving his overall record to 62-56.

Spongie... well... was Spongie!

PICK 6 RESULTS: WEEK 8

Congratulations on the week 8 win, making Ditka's Stache the first two-time, TWO-TIME, WCG Pick 6 champion of the year!

Also, I seem to be on a bit of a downward slope, as I failed to record a top-five finish for the second week in a row. I should probably spend less time joking on Ditkavsworld, and more time making better picks. View the full Windy City Gridiron leader board for week 8 >

Take a couple minutes, and go get your picks in before tonight's kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Diego Chargers.
