I was going to start a thread today to see if there was any interest in this. We'll just go with this one.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I just flat out sucked, lol. I picked against the spread which, if I understand right now, is not a factor at all.

I found it, but our group name wasn't even available for view in the "Group name" section, which I though was odd.

Congrats to Molon Labe for winning the points and winning the overall correct picks straight up by getting 22 of 34 correct.
