	PREDICTOR OF THE WEEK
	Nelson Slagle     126     11-2
	BOB SCHOLL COASTS TO 5TH BASKETBALL PREDICTION CHAMPIONSHIP
	Bob Scholl won his 5th baskebtall prediction championship in 37 years of basketball predictions.  He also
	has finished 2nd 4 times.   Bob Koller, a first time basketball predictor, was the first rookie to finish in the top
	three since Bob Armor won his initial attempt in 1975!  Bob was last the first two weeks then rallied as
	high as 2nd place in week 14.  Slag finished 2nd, his 8th 2nd place finish to go along with 7 first place
	finishes.  The 3 Rockwell Collins employees finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th!
	Although, Bob's lead was cut to 108 points in the final week, he still finished ahead of the Odds by 31
	points.   Only Phil Hensley (by 3 points) in 2000 and Nelson Slagle (by 4 points) in 1997 have beaten the
	Odds since 1994.  Bob picked 5 more winners then runner-up Bob Koller.  Bob Scholl picked 67.4%
	winners, the highest percentage since Gerry Hamilton picked 70.9% in 1999. Gerry also picked 6 more
	winners than anyone else in 1999.  Last year, Bob Scholl finished 6 points behind winner Phil Hensley.
	It was strickly a point spread week in week 15.  No underdog had more than 3 teams picking them.
	Phoenix was picked by 3 predictors over home Seattle. Nelson Slagle was POW as four picked 11
	winners in 13 games.
	Thanks to all for predicting.  Football starts in 4 short months.
	Meanwhile, look for updates from Gerry Hamilton on baseball predicts.
