The Atlanta Falcons eliminate the Seahawks. Mr. Wizard is not infallible.

Seattle did cover, though.

I told my liberal daughter that our Seahawks had the curse put on them when I earlier heard Silver yapping about SEA being in the Super Bowl.

Once again - Dad is right

The only reason this little putz predicted the election is because he was aware the fix was in.

There’s no secret inside information the NFL can give him, unlike the Obama administration with all their internal polling data.

Not very much consolation. Do you follow him around and cheer when he stubs his toe?

Exactly, Nate works with the Obama campaign team. That’s the equivalent of calling the first play of the game when the Offensive Coordinator tell you exactly what they will run.

he was their conduit to the little scumbag lefty voters to keep the faith. Also why Ostinko didn’t give a crap about doing well in debates. Why bother, he already knew he was going to win.

Believe me, the dems will also “fix” the mid terms too.

He predicted that Notre Dame would at least cover the spread in the BCS Championship Game.

Trends in vote fraud hotspots could have told him what states would do what in the 2012 election.

He’s obviously starting to believe his own ridiculous press too much.

He’s not a “statistician”. He’s the left’s spokepesperson for the Odumbo campaign while waorking for the NY Slimes.

I guess he was able to predict the layoffs at the NYT s/

Yeah, I personally found absolutely nothing suspicious with Silver switching every swing state at the last minute to Obama.

Nothing suspicious at all.

True, Carnac the Magnificent had all the answers too.

But that was a better time...

Silver just got lucky when he predicted 49 of 50 states in the Election of 2008 and 50 of 50 states in the Election of 2012 and almost every US Senate races during those elections.

Now, it has been proven that Silver’s predictions, using all his statistical data are no better than a coin flip.

Football scores aren’t preordained by the corrupt collusion of the left wing of the democratic party, media and outright fraud, for the most part.

Well, if he’s such a wizard, and his predictions are so golden, I guess you and the rest of us can just quit working and make an outstanding living just betting his predictions, right?
