Christiaan Thorne found two champions and made both count. Spain powered a 132-point World Cup portfolio to 17th, while the Seahawks title ticket carried his NFL Playoff entry to 28th.
Basketball helped too, with three of five win-total calls landing and the NBA card taking 77th. The floor looked different: Oregon's 65 led a college football card with five empty shares, which meant 209th, and golf managed 195th.
The title calls carried more weight than the misses. Thorne gained 14 places, and his 1227 total left him tied for 145th.
