Pigskin prognostication
Tuesday Morning Quarterback has
this to say about football predictions:
All told, of the roughly 300 Super Bowl predictions tracked by TMQ through this period, two were right -- a one-in-150 performance. If you simply placed into a hat the names of the 31 NFL teams that existed in those years and drew a name at random, your odds of predicting the Super Bowl winner would be 1-in-31. This means that in the past three years, professional sportscasters and commentators, possessed with their incredible insider knowledge, have proven themselves five times less likely than random chance to predict the Super Bowl winner.
I think what happens is mob mentality-so everyone picks the same teams based on the same phony reasons. I still think Rams vs. Steelers is a good bet though. If Kordell gets shifted to wide receiver I might be a bit happier in January....
