Two pickers closing in on lead; panel confident with Chiefs’ chances against Titans

Week 5 picks.

After strong weeks, Jeff Hornberger of Henry T’s and KLWN’s Sean Levine (12-8) are just a game back of KUsports.com’s Jesse Newell (13-7) in the overall pick ’em standings.

This week, seven of our nine panelists selected Kansas City to pick up a victory on the road against Tennessee. Only sports editor Tom Keegan and Yacht Club’s Steve Prososki went against the grain in picking the Titans.

Remember, you are invited to pick the games along with us at ljworld.com/pigskinpicks. Congrats to Robert Burnham, who went 13-2 last week to win a $25 gift certificate from Johnny’s Tavern.
