Every year, sometime before the first pre-season NFL game is played, I use my excellent analytic and forecasting ability to predict who will play in the Super Bowl. Here’s the way it works — I write down the name of the two teams that I think will play in the Super Bowl at the end of the upcoming season. I only pick the teams that I think will play in the game, I never pick a team to win. I also — every year — make a prediction as to what the Redskins win/loss record will be.
I write these predictions down, seal them in an envelope and don’t open it until the week before the Super Bowl. This is only for my own entertainment — if someone asks, I’ll tell them my choices, but only during the week before the Super Bowl. I know this all sounds kind of stupid, but it doesn’t take much to entertain me.
I thought this year, I’d reveal my predictions here rather than just keeping them to myself. In case you’re wondering, I’ve never picked the two teams that actually played in the game — I’ve picked one of the teams several times, but not both.
So now that I have you on the edge of your seats, here were my predictions for Super Bowl LIV. The San Diego (actually I guess they’re now technically in Los Angeles) Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles. Yep, my prediction had the Eagles playing the Chargers in next week’s game. Obviously this wasn’t my best year, but I did predict the Redskins record would be 3-13 — which, incidentally, happens to be exactly correct. So I batted a little over .300… that’s not too bad.
