Kevin Ghiringhelli swept the Seahawks and Patriots futures and tied for 4th in the NFL Playoffs. The ticket banked 127 and returned 247.5 placement points, his season's clearest display of precision.
The Dodgers had already helped baseball reach 42nd. Yet college football fell to 238th after six empty shares, and a 66-point World Cup pool finished 225th. Those two misses were too deep for one elite bracket to fully cover.
Ghiringhelli's 1277.5 points also earned a share of 119th, after he had dropped 55 positions. His best read could stand beside anyone's; the problem was how much ground the weakest ones surrendered.
