- WEEK ONE WINNER: Trevor Bowman. Both Trevor John Mellish went 6-0, but Trevor’s 128 points were enough to take the week. Winning money is nothing new to Trevor. In 2016, he finished 5th overall and won Week 13.
- The group and lock winning percentages were not great, Bob: 44.5% and 41.1%, respectively. The overall winning percentage was just barely better than Week 1, and the lock record was actually worse. Usually the public does slightly better than average for the first couple weeks, as Vegas settles into setting lines. Not this year.
