       PREDICTOR OF THE WEEK
Bob Thomas      140  11-4    
                                                 POW BOB THOMAS INCREASES HIS LEAD TO 49 POINTS 
      Bob Thomas was the weeks best predictor for the 2nd straight week to increase his overall
lead to 49 points.   Only 55 points separate 3rd from last.  
       Bob Thomas picked 11 winners in 15 games while Bob Stanley, Jim Slagle, and Phil Hensley
all picked 10 winners.  Bob Thomas beat Jim Slagle by 10 points to win his 2nd consecutive
Predictor of the Week honors.
      The Odds if counted as a predictor would have had the worst week with 186 points.  I don't
ever recall that happening before in basketball or football predictions!  In addition they would
be next to last on in the cum predicts.  Also don't ever recall the Odds being that low in either predictions.
     Week 6 is due Tuesday, February 21, 2012
