Having had both games, I can't agree with you. I'm sure it helps that I had 6.5 though.
Game goes to two overtimes, then they lose by 12 when you've got +9...
Overtimes are pretty damn random in their outcomes, compared to a full game. Anyone will take 6 points any day of the week on two teams that make it to overtime, but there's always a fair chance for a push/loss. I'm sure 2OT is even closer to random.
