The Preacher Takes the Lead in the Abilene Football Pick’em Challenge – Week 5

When you think of West Texas, football should be the first thing that comes to mind. Nothing is bigger than football, not even the belt buckle or mullet.

In every crowd of football fans is an 'expert'. You know that person. The one who can't stop talking about he or she has picked the winners each week or how they should be the coach. Well, we decided to gather a few of these 'experts' for a weekly pick'em challenge.

Going in to last week, Chaz had the overall points lead but his allegiance to the ailing Cowboys may have been his demise as he fell out of the top spot. Owning the overall standings now is Trace Michaels. We call him "Preach".

Each week we'll feature various area high school, college and pro games to see how good these 'experts' really are. Leave your comments here each week and see if you know more than the 'experts'.

Our experts are:

• Frank Pain - Rock 108
• Chaz McGuire - Rock 108
• Karen Hines - GM of Townsquare Media Abilene
• Chris Sanchez - Salesperson and member of The Men's Room on Rock 108
