Congratulations to North Shore Mike, our new TNG Pick ‘Em Champion!
North Shore Mike rode a string of excellent results down the stretch to stiff-arm a host of very knowledgeable contestants to capture the 2nd annual TNG Pick ‘Em Challenge crown.
Plano East, Klein Forest, and Weslaco did the most damage to the chasing pack with their upset victories in Week 11, but North Shore Mike was among the more conservative forecasters in those games specifically, so he didn’t lose nearly as many points as most of the folks trying to run him down.
This was the first contest season that we expanded the weekly picks to 20 games a week and it definitely produced some interesting results. North Shore Mike and slcdragonfan were the only two, in the end, who bested our TNG model over the course of the season. We purposefully picked difficult games each week to test our model and to test the awesome set of contestants that we had this year. We can’t thank y’all enough for participating each week. We hope you enjoyed it!
