A wider array of scores among the 30 contest entries this week with more than half finishing at.500 or below and - surprise! - an Iowa game that exceeded the total "over/under" line ..... thanks to the Iowa defense.
A 6-way tie for for top score (7-3) this week between MapleLeaf_Hawk, nu2u,, qrtr, Farleyhawk, Hawkeye_4_Life, and HawkRugged17. The finalist who anticipated a low APY production for Arland Bruce (TB = 5) will take the top spot.......
Congratulations to qrtr (TB47) on this week's win. Farleyhawk (TB95) edged out MapleLeaf_Hawk (TB99) for the Runner-up spot.
