Zimmer won by virtue of a tie-breaker with Roecker. They each had 181 correct picks out of 253 for the season, but Zimmer chose a score of 24-17 for the Dallas vs. St. Louis game and Roecker picked 27-17, that gave Zimmer the edge to win.
Third and fourth place were also decided by a tie-breaker. Whitney and Chartier both finished with 180 correct picks.
The top 20 winners received prizes donated by local businesses.

On a side bet between Sandy Baker and Todd Huotari, Baker was the winner by 9 picks over Huotari. As a result of this friendly wager, Todd will have to wear Green Bay Packer accessories in this year's Ontonagon Labor Day Parade. Sandy can’t wait for that first Monday in September. Todd will look good in green and gold!
NOTE: Sandy not only conquered Huotari, she also outpicked both Coach and John the Mon. She says it’s the knowledge of the game; they say it’s “pure luck”!
