Can't really judge it on that....teams will be both playing totally different by then...... That game should have never been cancelled ...BS...the snow wasn't even bad until way after the game would have been over with.

Congrats on a helluva streak! You essentially did win the Streak Survivor already when you hit 21 like hitting blackjack. That's the # Tuppy won at. Not to say Tuppy doesn't make it to 25 though ya never know if he would've.
I think the greatest part of this streak is how you picked every single day right? I don't think Tuppy did that. That's just phenomenal. I think it proves you certainly have some serious strategies in picking games. Enjoy the 25K plus whatever else you may have hedged with if you did end up doing something!
I caught your streak not until you hit for 21. I was not even paying attention until I saw the article. Usually, I play continuously in this contest, but it gets frustrating.

Sorry to this wonderful run stop one short !!

But for me you lost your streak yesterday with the canceled game and not today with GS, i am a firm believer of momentum and once that was broken you were playing from behind on this one

All the same hats off

you were an inspiration

Dude picked 24 straight. Are there bad picks? Yes. Do good handicappers made bad picks? Yes. He reasoned out why he took it, you did zero research so take it easy on the preaching.

The snowstorm fucked up the streak! No doubt in my mind the Blazers would have won Brackson13 the grand prize . Start up another streak' see you at the top

Drives me crazy reading certain posts about what a 'bad pick' this was. Where were your comments when he fired off 24 in a row. Let me guess, you would have picked the same.

Congratulate the man on an epic run and leave the negativity out of this.

Congratulations!!! A truly sensational run. Walking away with $25k on a free contest.....not bad, not bad at all,

I second that. How can you possibly say that he made a bad pick? What's the highest that guy ever got a streak up to that said that? It was only a bad pick because it lost. If it wins, you say it's the best pick ever. Always someone that takes away. The guy picked 24 straight. 1 wrong out of 25 doesn't mean it was a bad pick.

My condolences go out to you, Brackson13. I would just like to say that you are one of the classiest people on Covers. Your run was the most amazing thing that I've ever seen since I've been on here.I have no doubt that you will get back in this position again. Dust your boots off and keep riding, my man! Best of luck to you in the running for the monthly prize! Thanks for inspiring us all and congrats on the 25 grand!
