I predict Peyton Manning will throw a game changing interception in the playoffs.

All this shows is that you can program a computer to give you a result.

Not that the result is valid

Since my 2 teams are the Chiefs and the Rams, I have no idea what a winning record feels like...

OK, so now the owners can just fire all the players and staff and just show John Madden plays for this preemptive conclusion. Now what do I do instead ... rake leaves, housework, regular work and so on.

And in some he takes all 57 states as well! (Just could not resist-grin!)

Chiefs should be on the rise. Andy Reid is one of the best, and I think he has a pretty good chance of maximizing Alex Smith’s talent. He’s brilliant with QBs. The Chiefs fan base deserve it, too. One of the best in the league.

As much as I hate the Dirty Birds — shouldn’t the team which won last year’s Superbowl be in the running (at least) to win this year’s?

The Eagles won the Super Bowl in 0.5% of the simulations.

Did those .5 percent of simulations involve meteors striking other NFL cities?

Andy Reid is one of the best

Andy Reid is a study in mediocrity as a coach.
