    I would be curious to know how you came up with this score.

    Hmm… 23 sounds like a pretty odd score to me. Then again, I’m not a huge football buff. Still, it seems a pretty unlikely score. That brings up an interesting point. I wonder if there is a website that lists odds that a team will have a score of X at the end of a football game. One would think weird scores like 5 and 15 (and dare I say 23?) would be uncommon.

    I changed it before game time to 24 after doing a recalculation.

    23 is not that unusual a score..it accounts for two field goals rather than one touchdown..

    Okay Kreskin,
    Pretty good….but the Super Bowl is easy. What about the Pro-Bowl?

    Good Game !!

    If I had only bet on that score…Good one John!

    I didn’t read this until after the final. Was it posted before the game started?

    Nice job John.

    The bookies still win. The spread — at least in my neck of the woods — was the Pats by 6.

    I can confirm that he did have it posted before gametime and I sat there during the last few minutes of the game just scratching my head in wonder. Dvorak…you are a football god!

    Is it just me or did Philly play the dumbest, most lethargic last eight minutes ever?

    I agree…it looked like someone was on Prozac!! They could have won the game if they had not taken 8 minutes to run a two-minute drill. Apparently they never practiced it as a strategy. McNabb is simply TOO low key to take this team to a Championship against a top team like New England.

    This skeptic believes hindsight was 20/20.

    I can re confirm the fact that he did post it in advance of the game…Good call!!
