Wayne Stewart's correct pick in the Super Bowl made him the come-from-behind overall winner in our Pigskin Picks Pro Football contest.
Stewart, of Ashaway, had earlier won the overall title in our High School Edition game, making him a double contest winner!
Ranked second coming into the Super Bowl, Stewart used a go-for-broke strategy that focussed on picking the underdog - the Saints.
He won the title with 200 points, using a consistent picking record that built points throughout the 21-week program - he never won a weekly game until the Super Bowl.
Patrick McConaghy of Pawcatuck was our Survivor Game winner. McGonaghy lasted through Week 17.
There were 19 different local weekly winners.
Our expert picker Sean O'Brien of CC O'Brien's Sports Cafe finished with 182 points and tied for 17th among local players. Expert picker Sun sports editor Keith Kimberlin finished with 177 points and tied for 22th among local players.
David Bonomo of Cheshire, Conn. (week 4), William Clark of Charlestown (week 19) and Dave Stott (week 20) of Westerly were the only players to match the Pro Football national points winner for their week but lost in the random selection tiebreaker.
