The 43rd edition of the BDN Football Forecast comes to an end this week, with seven-time champion Pete Warner bidding to win his second straight staff title.

Warner, coming off his second 20-0 performance of the season, holds a four-game lead over Joe McLaughlin, while Andrew Neff and Ernie Clark are five games back. Dave Barber also was 20-0 during Week 9.

Guest Jamerson Crowley Brewer was solid at 15-5.
