We focus on straight-up winners picks for the site, but our contributors also will make picks against the spread and over/unders, which you can check out in the tale below.</p> <p id="hdMzHO">Last year, Justin Hier won our season-long competition, finishing just a game ahead of Kevin Nogle. James McKinney was another half-game behind. Percentage-wise, Kat Noa crushed it with a 71-percent correct rate, though she was not able to compete for the entire season.</p> <p id="42bD2I">Final 2020 results:</p> <p id="djxL0p">Justin Hier 180-88-1 (67.1%)<br>Kevin Nogle 179-89-1 (66.7%)<br>James McKinney 178-89-1 (66.6%)<br>Josh Houtz 157-80-1 (66.2%)<br>CT Smith 171-91-1 (65.2%)</p> <p id="h84Rq8">Kat Noa 128-52-1 (71.0%)</p> <p id="aRx6oN">Now, it is time to get the 2021 pool started.
