I hit it with my “what the heck” pick Sunday with Matt Joyce, so I’m going with him again. Prof, would it be possible for you to list, in the Hangover, how many folks picked correctly in the preceding game? I guess I can just check the comments, but for me that would be an interesting stat to have. Thanks – Mike
