The Psychology of Winning

I'm in a football league where I pick a winner of every game every week, and then I email my picks off to the commissioner of our league. The problem with NFL football now is that every Thursday night there's a game, so I have to rush home to make my picks and email them away before kickoff otherwise I won't get any points for the week. It never bothered me the last few years when I was winning, but now that I'm coming in dead last it seems like more stress than it's worth.
