For 121 games, the standard deviation on a coin flip is 5.5, i.e. 60.5 +- 5.5. That means a score of 66 on just flipping a coin is within a standard deviation... and would have won the pool. Carlos must be fuming from his safe house in Venezuela over his ban by Carolyn and Gloop. - Jeff

Wow, thanks! Already I feel better for the crushing disappointment that was the Lions season. Congratulations, Kevin. Great win! For my trophy acceptance speech, I'd like to give a shout out to Ross Tucker and Steve Fezzik of the Even Money Podcast for giving me something to check my picks against every week. Usually their advice isn't directly helpful as they like to play Teaser bets, meaning they're picking against a different spread than we are, but it never hurts to hear what an actual gambling pro thinks about the games. All right, now let's run it back in the playoffs!
