                                                          TEN DIFFERENT POW'S
    There were 10 different POW's this year and every predictor was either POW or 2nd best predictor
in at least one week.  Bob Adams and Bob Scholl was each POW three times and Al Manzey was POW twice.
     Bob Adams was POW three times and worst predictor of the week five times.  Bob was 1st after week 1,
12th after week 2, back to first in week 9 than last or 14th by week 13!  No one in the history of predictions
has rose and fell so fast.  Bob also had the best prediction of the year in week 7 when he beat the
average by 66 and the 2nd best predictor by 24 points, both season bests.
     Eight different predictors were POW the last 8 weeks while 2 predictors were the worst predictor in each of
the last 6 weeks.
     We have only kept track of how the Odds were doing for the last nine years and every year except
two they would have been first if counted as a predictor.  The other two years the Odds were 2nd by 3 and
4 points!!
