Ten contestants correctly picked 14 games this week. Five of those were eliminated in the first tie-breaker.
The remaining five each picked the same two correct tie-breakers. To break the tie, we declared that the the contestant who was the earliest to enter this week's contest (of the five who tied), would be declared the winner.
Randy Stewart, who submitted his enter on Sept. 17 at 4:07 p.m., is therefore declared the winner.
