Both Liz Johnson and Michael Haugen Jr. are good choices to win their first titles, but I have to go with Wes Malott to win before either one of those other two win theirs. He's been close a couple times, and I think once he really gets past the TV lights and all, he's going to capture his initial title.
And Walter Ray will definitely win #42 this year...it will be hard to shut him out for two seasons.
