Silver predicts Pats-Seahawks Super Bowl - New England Patriots Blog - ESPN Boston

"....Silver doesn't necessarily like the Seahawks' chances to win it all.

"I'd say that Denver and New England are the best two teams in the NFL," he said.

"You have to have one team from each conference, so if you have a Denver-New England AFC Championship Game, it might be one of those cases where it really is the de facto Super Bowl......"

Hopefully his sports prediction is as accurate as his election prediction!

I wasn't aware that Peyton Manning had playoff success year in and year out...

Silver's a johnny-come-lately. I made that prediction months ago.

Seems like we have been favored to win it all in four of the past five years.

I love Nate. Thank goodness he made this prediction even if it means nothing. This way I don't have to look like a big fat hypocrite saying he doesn't know what he is talking about.

I don't begrudge the guy for getting all the exposure he can after nailing the election stuff, but him calling football games based on somebody else's research just seems really lame.

BradyFTW!

He credits FO extensively, and makes sure that people know whose models he's using. Their methodologies are fundamentally similar, and I doubt FO minds the exposure. Nate used to work for Baseball Prospectus, so it's not like this is a radical departure for him.
