Another week in The Hardcore Footy Show Pick Em Contest is behind us, and it really was a week with some parity. Nobody put any eggs on the board, Pierre had a very Brandon in St. Louis type of week, and Brandon was surprisingly absent. Pizzola put up another perfect week and I really need to start laying heavy wagers on those plays because it's not working the way I'm doing it.
Pierre in Toronto - 5/5
Pizzola - 5/5
Travis Payne - 4/5
James Sharman - 4/5
