PFF Staff Pick'em: Week 9

Ben has hung on for another week with a piece of the lead, though the first-to-last span for the group as a whole shrunk by two games.

Determined to get some ink in this column, Joe and Nathan each put up 10-3's in Week 8 and, for Joe, that meant climbing into a tie with John for the bottom spot. So the coming week will feature those two sharing duties as the company coffee-fetchers … and, because more fetchers equals more coffee, we're all winners really.

Ben's usual mild-mannered ways are beginning to crack as he finds himself feeling ever more at home in the top spot. I know I received a note from him this week offering his services if I needed help with my picks and I'd bet others saw similar coming their way. Thanks Ben, but no, I'm fine. It seems we've submitted matching cards this week anyway.
