Aina’s contrarian picks
produce Football Fever win

He went against three favorites
but was still 9-1

Star-Bulletin staff

Hewlen Aina had the hot hand last week. He went against three favorites in the NFL while filling out his Football Fever ballot. He got all three of those games correct and picked six other games correctly, as well.

His 9-1 ballot was the first one drawn among those that were equal to or better than that of our top celebrity panelist. As such, he is the sixth weekly winner of $500 and four tickets to the Jeep Oahu Bowl on Christmas Day.

Aina even got the "game of the weak" correct. He took Philadelphia, figuring the Eagles, though winless, were playing better than Washington, he said.

All entries in our contest are eligible for the grand prize of an Infinity Sound System home entertainment center, the first prize of a trip for two to the Hooters Hula Bowl, or the second prize of round-trip airfare to or from the U.S. mainland on Delta Airlines.

The top celebrity panelists last week were KGMB sportscaster Dave Vinton and last week's Football Fever winner Hattie Potter, both of whom were 7-3.
