Steve Ronkowski had an incredibly impressive week, predicting 14 out of the 15 games correct. Kay P, Steven Schweikert and David Taylor also had nice weeks, with only two incorrect selections.

There's now a three-way tie for third place with Steve Ronkowski, Dane Noble and Steven Schweikert (38-25). Brendan is now in second (39-24), and David Taylor is sitting alone at the top spot (40-23).

Spongie's "against the grain" mentality finally caught up with him this week, as he went 7-8 and moved into next-to-last place (33-30). Despite putting up a strong 12-3 performance, Dave Gilbert is in last place (31-32), continuing his campaign of being the worst pick 'em player of all time.
