Spiegs & Mannelly Furious Five — Week 8
(CBS) Each week during the NFL season, the crew of the Spiegel and Mannelly Show is taking part in a confidence pool contest that they've termed the Furious Five. It's simple. They pick the winner of the Bears game and four other big games, assigning each those five games with a value between one and five based on how sure they are of any given prediction, with five showing the most confidence.
Then we add up the points of the games they correctly called because, as always, we love keeping score.
The weekly winner chooses the artist of the week to be featured on the show the following week.
Week 7 didn't see much separation, though Matt Spiegel led the way with 10 points to make it a two-way tie for first place. Here are the updated standings, with point totals from Week 7 in parentheses.
Patrick Mannelly: 62 (9)
Matt Spiegel: 62 (10)
