	PREDICTOR OF THE WEEK
	Brett Carman     206      13-3
	MARK JOHNSON WINS 2ND CONSECUTIVE FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS - BRETT CARMAN POW
	Mark had a 4 point lead over Nelson with 8 games remaining and used late TD's by Dallas, NY Giants and Denver to
	clinch the victory.  Without the late TD's by the three teams Nelson and Mark would finish in a tie.  Nelson finished
	2nd followed by Jim Henning and Cap Scholl.  Jim Henning picked 229 winners,  Brett Carman picked 225 winners
	while Nelson and Mark picked 223 winners to lead in that category.  Point spreads were obviously key.
	This is Mark's 2nd consecutive win and 5th win overall.  Mark has also finished 2nd 4 times and is easily our all time
	leading football predictor beating 90% of the predictors in an average year.    He has finished in the top 10%
	12  times in the 21 years he has predicted, and he has finished 1st twice, 2nd 3 times and 4th in last 6 years.
	Mark has led 26 of the 34 weeks the last two years.
	The top three all-time football predictors (Mark, Nelson and Bob Scholl) have combined for 20 wins and
	15 seconds in 45 years of football predictions (only one first and no seconds in first 6 years).
	Dick Hammerstrom, Bob Thomas and Brett Carman all picked 13 winners in 16 games in the final week.
	Four picked 12 winners while 5 picked 11 winners.  Brett had the best point spread to win Predictor of the week honors.
	Odds would have finished 1st this year for the 13th time in last 24 years if counted as a predictor.
	Fifthteen of the 16 predictors predicted all 17 weeks. Thanks to everyone for being so diligent and for predicting.
	NFL playoff predictions will be due Friday.  You will receive an e-mail on the first weekend games on Monday.
	Basketball Predictions for week 1 are due Tuesday, January 11th.  To earn a chance to be Predictor of the year,
	you need to predict basketball, baseball and football.
