All week, I procrastinated picking the games -- so much so that I missed picking the Thursday and Saturday games, both of which I would have been correct. Now they're losses on the record.
As for my predictions, "They're coming! They're coming!" I told myself.
Yeah, so is Christmas.
And a very merry one to all of you.
