After the recent news of Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden’s departure blowing up headlines, it’s good to have an outlet. For us writers and fan community at Silver and Black Pride, that outlet is seeing who can win the 2021 NFL Season Pick Em challenge.

Here are the Week 6 odds from our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook. (The Raiders are +3.5 underdogs heading to Denver, according to DraftKings).

After a total of 80 possible contests, here are the writer’s standing:

Matt Holder 52-28-0 (65%)

Bill Williamson 51-29-0 (64%)

BD Williams 46-34-0 (57%)

Marcus Johnson 45-35-0 (56%)

Bill continues to chip away at Matt’s lead with 12 correct picks in week 5. Marcus, on the other hand, is losing pace and his strategy of going out on a limb is beginning to crack.
