Bijan had 5 again, and Holden still won.
Tuten had 21 and Likely had 18. John Mitchell had 85. The 5–1 is still a 5–1.

Thinks John Mitchell gets clowned for existing. Thinks Greer has been a contender for a decade without the banner.
The two wild cards played each other, and the one with the better record won it, 93 to 85. That is not a loud final. Tuten had 21, Likely had 18, and Stafford had 17. Bijan had 5, which is now a few weeks of the same sentence, and Skattebo had zero. Adams had 4. Holden is 5–1 anyway. The record keeps him in the group with Fuss, Nathan, and Thomas. The back he built the week around is not the reason.
John Mitchell had 85 and is 3–3. Hubbard had 18 and Bowers had 7. He lost the head-to-head, which matters if they finish level, and he did not lose the season. Morgan is also 3–3, and Morgan beat him earlier, so the West’s second spot is still Morgan’s until the weeks say otherwise. Holden’s ticket was the wild card on Tuesday morning. After a win over the other one, it is a 5–1. Week 7 is Morgan.
