” It is statistically in “impossible” range. Ted Cruz lost some credibility with me with this pronouncement. Either he does not know football or he is pandering blatantly.”
Or he’s joking around.
Of course I know he was joking around, but it is never a smart strategy to favor one NFL team, because then you are instantly hated by two dozen other team’s fans. Now if Cruz was favoring his home teams from Texas, that is excusable. But to pander to New England football fans is a serious non-sequitur.
