Statistics breakdown. Our experts overall picked
3250 games correctly out of 4950 games for a grand percentage of 65.7%. If just our regular human experts (those eligible for the Picks Contest Championship) are considered,
performance was 2249 correct out of 3377 or 66.6%. Consensus Curtis, the pooled knowledge of our group, came in at
70.4%. The maximum number of games picked was 297, which is down from last season's record of 331, but more than 1999's 280. The picking was slightly easier than last year based on the consensus numbers and overall performance.

End Of Season Awards
At the end of each season since 1997, I have handed out at least one award to each expert that completed the season. Starting in 2000, not all experts received an award.
Some of the awards are tied to statistical performance, while others are a bit more creative. For a description of these
awards, see the hall of fame page on awards.
