Week 6 of our 2021 Football Pick’Em Contest saw one name rise above the pack.

After tabulating this past week’s results and scores, Phillip Tyler of Maxton took first place this week.

Tyler finished with a total of 13 points, finishing ahead of runners-up pickers Dave Gloden of Raleigh, Tony Butler of Hamlet, Larry Paolino of New Bern and Delton Williams of Laurinburg.

Kentucky’s upset of Florida, Arizona State beating UCLA and Cincinnati taking down Notre Dame were some of the most common misses this week.

As the weekly winner, Tyler wins $25. Week 6’s prize is sponsored by Basic Finance in Rockingham.
