PamO's 14 Enough for Week 6
5 weeks in a row the Pick’em winner has been decided before the Monday Night game, which has to be some kind of Madness record. This time it’s PamO who ended up on top. Far from the 17 Kyle Brett posted a week ago, PamO went with the upsets and cashed in as there were several across the NFL & College games. Her 14 was enough to get pass Danny Molino, Lil Rak, and Shaun Rubin, all with 13 could not catch PamO because they all had the same pick the last 2 games.
Just goes to show that on anything given Saturday or Sunday, anything can happen. The Rams have hardly lived up to the Preseason Super Bowl favorite, and Super Bowl Champion Seahawks are struggling of late. 3 teams shining through week 6 and look to be solid Super Bowl picks are the Bills, 49ers & Chiefs. The season is still relatively young and injuries always play a role, as the Rams have witnessed Puca early now losing Davante Adams for several weeks. In NFL the teams that are in contention and excel in December are the ones to watch.
PamO know retired and living the sweet life in Ft. Lauderdale has been a member of the Madness since 2017, 18 and is no stranger to the winner’s circle. If I’m not mistaken PamO has a 3yr winning streak in the Madness proof that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Just kidding 
Good luck in Week 7
Honorable Mention in Week 6 with 12- Jim O’Sullivan, Chris D. Rakoczy, Linebacher, Charlie Baynton, Rainbach, Hen Solo, Scott Tolley & Casey & the Kap-ette

Cullenator Tip of the Week
GAMES Page
There is a new Games page, where users can look at all the games for the week. Live games will be at the top and will update a few times a minute, so you can track multiple games here if desired.
You all know you can get ‘real time Rak Madness Scoring updates’ but did you know you can get real scoring while a game is in progress?
To access ‘real time scoring’ you need to open the ‘Cullenator’s pick sheet’ located in the upper right-hand corner, hamburger with check mark icon.
Once open, if the game is in progress a Red Dot will appear on the column header, next to Game label, ex. C4, for college game #4. If you want to see the current score of the game and the time remaining, click on it. Game details will appear similar to the sample pic shown from Saturday night’s game between Texas & OSU.

eRak’s (Erik Rakoczy) and lovely bride Diana wed on Friday Oct 11th in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. The venue was charming, the weather gorgeous and the party that followed… a Rockin! Just a great time in NC. Although it was like herding cats, I managed to pull together the largest gathering of Rak Madness members since the pool began in the late 90s for a picture… see below. Great seeing Everyone! and for those of you who thought ‘MomRak’ was my second entry… well she’s real and pictured below. MomRak was in Madness heaven when she got to meet the crew Rubin, Zaversnik, Molino and the famous Will-I-Am Fergie-Son, yes the Will-I-Am that she’s been quietly cursing the past several years for winning too much.
