NELSON SLAGLE WINS 2008
BASKETBALL PREDICTS - AL MANZEY POW |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Nelson Slagle had a good final week to beat runner-up Bob Scholl by 58
points to win the 2008 Basketball |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Predictions.
This was Nelson's 7th win since 1990 and 4th in last 5 years.
Nelson (11), Bob Scholl (5), Gerry |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hamilton (5) and Jim Slagle (3) have accounted
for 24 of the 41 winners. Those 4 also have 17 2nd place |
|
|
|
|
|
|
finishes including 7 by Nelson. Nelson
and Blake Vasquez tied for picking the most winners at 152. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Al
Manzey predicted 12 of the 14 games correct on way to POW. Al's key pick was Miami over Atlanta. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nelson
& Jim Slagle and Blake Vasquez all picked 11 winners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nelson beat the Odds by 107 points this season which is the most
anyone has beaten the Odds in 14 years |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
tracking the Odds. Bob Scholl had the previous record,
defeating the Odds by 31 points in 2002.
The first five |
|
|
|
|
|
|
predictors all beat the Odds by 31+ points
this year. After 10 firsts and three
2nds the Odds would have finished |
|
|
|
|
|
7th this season. This breaks the Odds streak of winning 5
straight years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pro playoffs start Saturday. I will furnish a link to the brackets on
Thursday. Pick the 16 teams in order. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tiebreaker
is the total points scored in the final playoff game. |
