Battle of one-time perfect pickers

In its 10th year, the Stardust Invitational football handicapping tournament has had only two handicappers go 7-0 in a given week: Cal-Berkeley math professor Mike Orkin in the 2001 semifinals and handicapper Kevin O'Neill a year ago last weekend in the first round. At 9 p.m. this Friday, the two will square off in a first-round matchup. They will both submit their top seven picks on this weekend's card, including a best bet used as a tiebreaker, with the winner advancing in the single-elimination tournament. Last week, independent oddsmaker Cesar Robaina went 4-2-1 to defeat handicapper Pete White, who went 3-4 after losing all four college selections and then winning his NFL plays. For the season, the contestants are a combined 25-16-2 (61 percent) and 3-1 on best bets. The program is aired live in nine Western states on KDWN AM-720 and on the internet at kdwn.com.

O'Neil goes 4-3

BUT

Orkin is 5-0-1 w/SF pending on SNF

WOW

If my math is right, Stardust contestants are a combined 34-20 (63 percent) with 2 pushes, and 7-1 on best bets. Pete White is the only one with a losing record (3-4) and David Stratton was on the only one to lose his best bet (and it cost him as the tiebreaker vs. Fezzik).
