Congrats to MenverHawk for landing in first place by edging out tuck and roll. MenverHawk actually had the win locked down even before Monday night's game -- which is good, because he was a doomed Duck supporter. A special tip of the hat to @PlannedSickDays, too, who managed to correctly predict the outcome of more games than anyone else (27), but screwed the pooch with his confidence picks (damn you, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Georgia...). Regular season champion Bell Biv DeVries landed in 55th place (21/35, 406 pts); clearly the lack of spread picks did him no favors.
MenverHawk, shoot us an email to one of the addresses at the bottom of the page and we'll get you hooked up with a BHGP shirt of your choice to celebrate your brilliance.
