kicks with Football FeverTwo late field goals help him to a 9-1 record
Herbert Chow Hoy of Hilo picked the New York Jets and the Arizona Cardinals to win their respective games this past weekend. Both came out on top thanks to the accurate leg of a their field-goal kicker in the waning moments of the ballgame.
Those two correct picks helped Chow Hoy to a 9-1 mark in the Star-Bulletin's Football Fever game. His ballot was the first picked among those whose results were equal to or better than the best of our celebrity panelists. As such, Chow Hoy is the ninth weekly winner of $500 and four tickets to the Jeep Oahu Bowl on Christmas Day.
"Two of them came through," said Chow Hoy, who added that he took the Jets to defeat Kansas City mostly by coincidence. "I just picked them. They played pretty good the past two games. That division (AFC East) is crazy.
"(And) all the panelists picked Detroit, so I was one up on them."
