Completely Original Prediction

OK, so we're already in the second quarter of the Steelers/Broncos game, but I swear my prediction isn't biased: Steelers over the Broncos. And later on today, the Panthers will beat the Seahawks. No, the Seahawks will beat the Panthers. That's my official statement. I've got to admit, the NFC title game really doesn't excite me, and I often confuse both teams as AFC.

I'm not a gambling man (bet you on it), but today's "Detroit News and Free Press" (the two papers aren't mighty enough to have individual Sunday publications) had an interesting article on the types of Super Bowl sidebets often available in Las Vegas. Quench your gambling thirst with bets like these: will the first missed field goal miss to the left or right, which team will win the coin toss, who will challenge a play first, will the difference between the two scores be an odd or even number. And with $200 billion in Super Bowl gambling taking place every year, many fools are losing money (and wise men making it). Now if you don't mind, pardon while I jet down to the Caribbean to register a Lost in Detroit online gambling site! Imagine the bets: when will LID post again? How many days until the next new iPod? How many auto plants will Ford close? Mine eyes are giant like saucers with the possibilities...
