Shannon Threat wins Week Five of "You Pick the Winners" football pick-'em contest.
Shannon Threat of Cleveland finished 10-4 last week in the You Pick the Winners weekly contest and won the second half of our tie-breaker (a random drawing after Shannon and others who went 10-14 predicted the Browns score): a random drawing. Shannon's missed games? Well, let's put it this way: One host of "You Pick the Winners" missed 'em all, too ... and that's why Chuck Yarborough maintains his one-game lead over Branson Wright. But we'll get to that later.
As the winner of this week's show, Shannon gets a $25 gas card and is now a finalist for a $250 gift card.
Chuck and Branson clearly could use some expert advice. Each went 7-7 this week (an undrafted rookie quarterback leading the Cardinals over the defending Super Bowl champion Saints? Really?). Going into Week Six, Chuck leads Branson, 37-39 vs. 36-40.
Each week, fans can go online to cleveland.com/football picks and make their predictions. The winning prognosticator will win a $25 gas card and be the guest of SBTV hosts Wright and Yarborough on You Pick the Winners streaming on cleveland.com every Friday morning.
In the event of a tie, we'll use the total score of the Browns game as a tiebreaker. Whoever comes closest to the total without going over will prevail. If there's still a tie after that, we'll do a random drawing. See official contest rules for further details. Whoever makes the most correct picks will become a finalist for a $250 gift card to be awarded at the end of the season. (OK, it's not much; this is mostly for fun.)
So get out your stat sheets and start picking.
