I spoke a lot about the NFL yesterday, without
actually reviewing my attempts at guessing the results...
So:
I have successfully picked 8 winners out of 12 games so far. Nothing to be
impressed by really, and I don't think I have a future career path that
involves punditry or predictions. Getting two-thirds right could probably be
achieved by just tossing a coin and picking the winners that way, so I'm as
effective as a 50p coin, really.
Maybe that's what I'll do next year? Predict the outcome of each NFL game in
two ways - one where I study the form properly and make a rational, reasoned
decision, and one where I just throw a coin in the air and see how it lands,
and over the course of the whole season we'll see whether consideration is
better than chance?
Actually, that's a terrible idea. It would mean a lot of work, a lot of
commitment, and a weekly endeavour; and I'm not a particularly prideful person,
but if I lost to an inanimate object, even my ego might be irretrievably damaged.
