Marc Calnan continued to hold the lead after 13 weeks in the Eastern Maine Sports staff NFL picks contest. After a slow 0-5 start, Calnan rallied to finish 8-8 for a four game lead over Cassidy Lessner. Lessner (8-8) remained in second place holding off the rest of the competition for that spot. Back to back champion Jeff Hoak (7-9) remained in third but is now six games off the pace for first place. Anthony DelMonaco (7-9) is now tied with Chris Lessner one game behind Hoak for third, and seven games back.
