| NINE DIFFERENT POW'S | |||||||
| There were 9 different POW's this year with Bob Koller a three time winner. Al Manzey, Gerry | |||||||
| and Nelson Slagle were each POW twice. John Baker was 2nd best predictor 3 times and | |||||||
| Bob Scholl and Dick Hammerstrom were 2nd best twice. Dick Hammerstrom, Phil Hensley, | |||||||
| Andrew Coates, Bob Koller, Nelson Slagle, Gerry Hamilton and Bob Scholl were all best predictor | |||||||
| and worst predictor at least one week. Seven predictors with a best and worst prediction week is | |||||||
| likely an all time record. | |||||||
| Al Manzey beat the 2nd best predictor in week 1 by 39 points which was the best of the year. | |||||||
| Thomas as the best in that category. Al Manzey was 67 points under average in week 1 for best in that | |||||||
| category. | |||||||
| We have only kept track of how the Odds were doing for the last ten 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!! The Odds beat winner Nelson Slagle by 37 points this season. The Odds do have an advantage as | |||||||
| I use the Odds the day of the game. | |||||||
