Well, 2 of the visting teams won.

That makes me .500 on predicting here.

I've always been a bit perplexed with the assuredness people have over who'd going to win a football game.

I remember some guys at work having some fairly violent arguments over who's going to win a game the coming weekend. And some fairly large bets.

I would bet "coffee". with my coworkers.

The largest bets I've ever made on sports were $20. One I placed in August at Ceasar's Palace in Vegas that the Giants would win Superboal 19. Damned near won $1200.

The other, after my Postmaster, a big Oriales fan, was gloating after his team won the first game of the '69 World Series, I bet my 20 to his 60 that the Mets would win in 5.

From that series on, he valued my opinion highly.
