The Chris Thomas 5 Star Pick 3 Handicapping Contest

“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”

Players wanted to quickly forget the Week 4 outcome as I was bombarded with picks before I even sent out the Tuesday Board…This week should be either Really Good or Really Bad as we are all on only a handful of games…5 players jumped on the early line where New England was getting 2½ at the Hilton…3 plays are on the Saints (with the over)…Double Shots on Kansas City, Seattle, and Atlanta…and Hunter got Kevin to jump in with him on his Lock of the Week – Ohio State…We normally do not allow late entries…but Hernandez just found out about the contest and insisted we let him play…he’s a fellow Dol-Fan and backs his picks up by taking them to the local STIB…so I allowed it…The virtual piggy bank needs all the help it can get…
