Past posting your wins and mocking those who pre-posted and got it wrong... not very cool.

The $1 shows it was tongue in cheek, a British phrase, I believe. You can ask Mission if I picked the Pats, by the way. But to discuss a real point, there are many anomalies that can be found if you look for them. Trying to figure out if there really is any predictive value in them is what counts. I would say that in the NFL, with tremendous roster changes from year to year, would make the "Super Bowl loser on the Road favorite" not a predictive event. But, you are right, cess, and I guess I was a bit unfair to the OP. I would never post my predictions, as I think a coin toss has a better chance than I do! Kudos for those that have the guts to lay it out for all to see....

No worries, I always find it a bit off to have a word about someone's losers. But if you are worse than a coin flip, you should post so we can fade -your- action ;)

I'm already 1 -3.... I will likely do better than 25% by season's end.

You do realize that your picks will be retroactively posted every Tuesday, right?

Sure- I meant I would never post my picks implying they were anything better than a coin toss. I do watch a lot of NFL football, but my guess is the linemakers do, too. I doubt that I will ever have any real information that will overcome a vig over the long haul.
