The NFL's most notable mom is on the rise in Week 5. Congratulations to Mama McNabb who went 11-3 for a week-high 12 points, which ties her with James Blake for the top spot overall.
Heather Mitts has abandoned her allegiance to the Miami Dolphins.
Because of a bye week, Mama was forced to deviate from her beloved Eagles as her lock of the week. And while picking the Patriots over the Dolphins wasn't exactly uh, going out on a limb, it got the job done and raised her overall point total to 54.
Meanwhile Jermaine Dye and Heather Mitts had decent showings by picking 10 and nine winning teams, respectively. Mitts was the only contestant to correctly choose the Lions over the Falcons, and by benching the Dolphins, added an additional point to her total.
Quotable:
I have fun picking these games each week. Donovan thinks it's funny that I am playing against Bow Wow and some of these other people. My family is getting a big kick out of it. They like to help me out, Donovan of course doesn't help, but his wife Roxie likes to talk about the games with me -- Wilma McNabb
If my man (QB A.J. Feeley) isn't starting, I think I can
pick against them. -- Heather Mitts
The rules:
Games are picked straight up
Poolers pick one lock-of-the-week, indicated by an asterisk*
Every other game is worth +1 if won and 0 points if lost
Lock is worth +2 points if won and -2 points if lost
Five points added to overall score for a perfect week
In the event of a tie, pool will extend to postseason
