It hasn't been a silent night in my prognostication corner.
I've been hearing the herald angels sing loud and long this month with my recent hot streak, one that urges all ye faithful to come to my corner. I'm not exactly the good King Wenceslas, but I feel a lot like him these days.
That's because my straight-up picks have brought joy to my world. The wins have come, and plenty of them.
I'm 25-6 during the last two weeks (12-4 last week) to raise my year-to-date record to 133-73-2 (.644). Ties count for a half-win and half-loss when figuring win percentage.
Those who disagree with me are seeing their chestnuts roast on an open fire. But I'm a better sport than that, for these are mere reindeer games.
