So
with last week's predictions I got 3 right out of 4, which I'm happy with. My
record in this year's play-offs is now 6-4, giving me a 60% hit rate. Nothing
to be overly proud of, but at least I'm getting more than half right. If I can
keep that going, I'll be happy. There are only 3 games left, so I only need to
get 1 of them correct to guarantee finishing with more than 50%, which should
be the absolute minimum I should aim for.
With that in mind, I am foregoing the temptation to
make a genuine prediction about what I think might happen this Sunday, and instead
I'm taking the 'don't want to lose so pick the favourite' path in an attempt to
end the postseason with better numbers, even though it's completely
inconsequential and there's no-one I'm competing against. So I'm going for:
PATRIOTS to beat the BRONCOS.
SEAHAWKS to beat the RAMS.
Even though, in my heart, I would love to see Broncos vs Rams in the Super
Bowl, and even though I actually, genuinely think Denver are likely to win. I'm
sticking to what I'm sticking to, and that's the one above. (Wins for Rams and
Patriots).
Two points to finish on: 1. Yes, I am getting stupidly sidetracked by
statistics and making this all seem far more important than it is, and 2. Don't
ever follow my predictions if you want to make money by gambling.
