> How about who is going to win the Super Bowl?
Paul Harvey had a story on just the other day. I like Paul Harvey, but sometimes his fact checking is a little lite, so it may or may not be true.
It was Bowl season, late 70's. Newspaper runs contest, guy enters, picks all 10 winners, many of which were big upsets,
then proceeded to beat the spreads in all of the games. He did it by waving his hands over papers with the team names on one and points on the other and pointing to the combination that "felt" right. Was it chance, psychic powers or urban legend?. He never did it again. Not bad for a 4 year old.

A bar where i used to live had the pick em sheets on Sunday morning. $1. Pick all the winners. The winner on Monday night. And the total score for the tie breaker.
Using Rush Limbaugh's Environmental Wacko Method of picking football games I picked every game right and hit the total Monday night score exactly.
What made it even better is the only other person to pick every game right was my cousin and my hitting the Monday night score exactly game me the tiebreaking win.
