Yeah. Last year was the first year I had a shot at my bracket pool (I always pick MD to win it all)... of course so did most other people so I still lost.
I think I am going to pick them to lose in 3rd round this year, that way if they win I'll still be happy and if they lose I'll have +EV. Been a rabid fan for almost 20 years now, since the days of Herman Veal.
