ERST LESEN! » o days after OBrien was carted off

LAS VEGAS -- After two weeks of the Westgate Las Vegas SuperContest, only two of the record 1,854 entrants have perfect 10-0 records. Codlock and Scorpio are the aliases used by the undefeated SuperContestants that survived with their five against-the-spread picks after 78 entered Week 2 at 5-0. Actually, since theres a 1-in-32 chance of hitting a five-team parlay (assuming each game is a 50/50 proposition), having two 10-0 records is right on par.Codlock had the relatively easier path with the Titans +6, Patriots -6.5, Browns +6.5, Rams +4.5 and Falcons +5, as most were clear-cut winners, though the Patriots and Browns had to hold on late to cover after having big early leads.Scorpio had the Patriots -6.5, Saints +5, Panthers -13.5, Falcons +5 and Vikings +2.5 and lucked out when the Giants settled for a winning field goal against the Saints instead of punching in a spread-covering touchdown. Scorpio also had the sweat out a roller-coaster of a fourth quarter in the Panthers-49ers game.There are 20 SuperContestants tied for third place with 9-1 records, including one very familiar name. The 4ViewsFromVegas is an entry I share with three partners from my ViewFromVegas.com Forums (full disclosure: my personal entry is @ViewFromVegas, which is tied for 23rd place at 8-2; my partners voted down my losing pick on the Bears in Week 1).All of those on the leaderboard had to navigate a Week 2 slate that was tough for a lot of SuperContestants. The top five consensus picks (the most-selected teams) went 0-5 and the overall consensus was 4-12. The combined record of all 1,854 entrants was 4,189-5,081 (45.2 percent).SuperContestants pay $1,500 to enter and are playing for more than $2.5 million in prizes (after an administrative fee of 8 percent is taken out) and a first-place prize of $895,482. The contest runs all 17 weeks of the NFL season and well follow it weekly here at ESPN Chalk until the champion is crowned.Golden Nugget leaderboard taking shapeThe Friday Football Showdown at the Golden Nugget is a quarter of the way through its eight-week contest to put the top seven finishers in its eight-player field for the head-to-head format to determine its champion (note: theres a wild-card chase in Weeks 9 and 10 to determine the eighth finalist).RoughRider39, a longtime successful Las Vegas contest player, is the leader after two weeks with 12.5 out of a possible 14 points. He has a record of 12-1-1 with one point per win and half a point for a push. Jenny Butler and @NFL_Totals are tied for second at 12-2 for 12 points, with Will Landers in fourth with 11.5 points and Vegas Sports in fifth with 11.However, everyones eyes are on the seventh spot at 10.5 points, as thats the playoff cutoff. Four players are tied for the sixth and seventh spots with another 20 within two points of the cut, so its still wide-open.The Friday Football Showdown drew a field of 96 players at $2,000 apiece for a prize pool of $192,000. The eight qualifiers will earn $3,000 each and then face off in head-to-head matches between Nov. 19 and Dec. 9 on The Las Vegas Sportsline radio show from 2-3 p.m. PT Fridays on ESPN AM-1100 here in town. Those four winners will each win another $2,000 each. The remaining $160,000 is then split up with $96,000 to the eventual champion (for a total haul of $101,000), $40,000 to the runner-up, $8,000 each to the semifinal losers and $8,000 to the winner of a bonus mini-contest held in NFL Weeks 15-17 for all contestants (even those eliminated earlier).Walter Payton Bears Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.
