Mike Bergmann won the NFL Playoffs and lost the season's argument anyway. He swept the Seahawks and Patriots futures, cashed 149, and took 1st place with the full 251 placement points.
There was support in March, where eight straight picks lasted to Day 6 on Iowa State and shared 32nd. The College Football Playoff also stayed useful at 72nd.
The NBA sagged to 201st, then the closing pair completed the fall. The World Cup paid 53 from 197th, and golf ended 167th despite 335.3 across the majors. The 2.1 at The Open became the tiny number that explained a 50-place slide.
A contest crown and that kind of fall can both be true. Bergmann's 1331.5 total ranked 105th.
