Sitting at 36-13 +29.50, sportsfun has won nearly 74% of his picks ATS. Whether it's a rabbit's foot, crystal ball or magical card like in Last Action Hero contributing to his run remains to be seen. Sportsfun has been simply dominant throughout the contest, turning in a Floyd Mayweather like performance from week to week. The forum veteran has been at it since 2005.
Will Sportsfun make more picks to attempt to create separation from those below him who are in striking distance? Will he roll the dice? Will he wait to see if one of his fellow handicappers picks themselves out of contention on a game that takes place before Sunday?
Whether Sportsfun manages to cross the finish line remains to be seen, but this is certainly one of the most awe-inspiring contest performances in SBR history.
