Congrats, phenom. I was climbing the mountain until about week 14 when it all fell apart for me.

I do both and I'd say they're just different to be honest. It feels like it's easier without the point spread but everyone has the same playing field so it's still just as hard getting more right than everyone else.

I like using the point spread more when there are a bunch of random people that have no clue because it's easier to get lucky in this format, but since I don't think there are many people picking by jersey color around here, I like picking straight with OS members just as much.

Congratulations, Phenom!

I really liked how this league was set up....looking forward to playing again next season.

I managed to finish tied for 17th out of a big group...feel good about that.

I'm surprised I did as well as I did too. I also finished tied for 17th. Week 3 killed me only getting 5 right.

Yeah I remember a 4 or 5 week stretch in the middle of the season where every time I looked at the leader board we were right next to each other. Either tied for 2nd or 3rd, tied for 10th, whatever it was.

I would enjoy that as well. Maybe next year we do both?

(not for a game obviously since Steve had been generous enough as it is, but I would enjoy a spread pick em.)
