This edition of Pick 'Em is going to cover two weeks, mostly because I will be traveling and not near a computer where I can compile results and pick new games. But let's look at it in a different light: It's a holiday present from me to you that you get to take a look at Week Seven's picks early!
Week Five had some great games—upsets that came down to the wire, a couple of blowouts, and a three-point shooting contest that went six versus seven.
This made for a very tight Pick 'Em week—the top players gained seven points while the lowest score was four.
