Has he ever predicted other Super Bowls? If so, how accurate has he been?

Of course he's basing everything on stats and those 3 weeks where we avg bout 50 points a game prob helped this equation.

not sure but last presidential election he predicted every state correctly.

I know that, but I don't see how that holds any weight in sports. If he normally predicts and is right about other sporting events, then that's another story.

He's better at predicting elections than sports. Even in beisbol he was rarely as precise as his election analysis.

Football is often unpredictable. This would work better in maybe a seven game series but for one game.. anything can happen. Brady could get knocked Silly by J.J. Watt and all of a sudden he's not the same player and the Texans are exposing the Pats defense and there you have it... an upset.

OR a good field goal kicker can have a rough day.

OR the weather can play a big factor. What if it snows or it's slippery and nobody can hold their footing? all of a sudden a game that you would think would have more points becomes a defensive struggle.

he started as a baseball statistician and made gamblers lots of money in it.

If he's wrong about this, then he will be back to rating cheap mexican restaurants in chicago.
