Icky Shuffle danced his way into the week 5 Pickem' win
Another Thursday and another upset, but this time the winners actually made the pick and lost it with the other 81% of the league that picked the SeaBirds to win. Sunday turned into an absolute blood bath, but 4TD RB from Polk High managed to grab some points on the Browns and the Saints and was feeling good at the end of the day. However, despite picking the 9ers to win on MNF, he was really pulling for the Commanders to pull off the last-minute upset. The 49ers held on to win, launching dairysanders and BadgerNoonan to the top of the standings (thanks to the 13 and 12 points they wagered) and into a three-way tie for first place with a paltry total of 77 points. The tie could only be partially broken as dairysanders and BadgerNoonan finished as the co-champs of the week 6 Confidence contest due to them both having 10 total wins.
In a week full of upsets, picking even 8 matchups right felt like a challenge, so getting into double-digits was impressive. The feat was accomplished by only 6 players this week, but none of them were able to get to 11 wins, so Icky Shuffle, Sam V, dairysanders, Mr_Irrelevant, Semicolonoscopy, and BadgerNoonan all ended tied at the top of the standings. After the first half of the MNF game it looked like the high scores were lined up for the win, but the Niners only scored 3 more points and that meant Icky Shuffle, who had the predicted the lowest winning score, was just one point away from the actual score and won the week 6 Pickem' contest on the first tie-breaker.
The 2-4 Arizona Cardinals are now 2-0 at SoFi Stadium, giving them more wins in LA than the Chargers and Rams combined. Those wins have also done some serious damage in the 2026 Survivor contest, accounting for another 16 of the week 6 losses. Seventeen more players were completely eliminated from the contest this week, leaving just 5 players still undefeated and another 18 holding on to hope with one life remaining. The winners spread their picks around to a number of teams, but the Pats and Niners accounted for a big chunk of them.
