THE WEEK THAT WAS
Another vet gets another notch onto his weekly win belt, as Defending DFC Champion Zack Graves wins the 7th week of his career, taking it home with a 8-2 record, holding off a three way tie between Eddy Jr, Steven Ray and Trey Cartledge, also at 8-2.

In 5th place, Justin Harrison goes 8-2, as does The Mighty Gainey for 6th place and Bradley Pinkerton for 7th place.  In 8th place, Tommy McLeod at 7-3, in 9th is Matt Halpert and a three way tie rounds out the Weekly Top Ten, all at 7-3, with Joey Thornell, Drew Morris and Big Eddy Mac.

CORRECTION
I failed to mention that the Oakland/Miami game was in England. This may or may have not influenced your decision to pick either team, but at this point, there isn't really a way to change it fairly. One DFC'er emailed me to tell me that not knowing the game location DID influence their game pick, so I have given the win to that person for contacting me about it.  Otherwise, all wins and losses are official--sorry about the miss on that.
