Attention NFL Pick: There are just 5 weeks left of the NFL Regular Season. When the playoffs start, we will start a new competition with everyone's scores resetting to zero. For Week 13, congratulations to Mr. Reed! He scored 124 points which is the highest total in a single week this year. Mr. Reed's daughter, Annie, was the top student finisher this week with 119 points. Don't worry Annie, although Dad beat you in Week 13, you can remind him that you are beating him in the overall standings! Week 14 picks are due by the end of the day today! Good luck.
