Prediction Follies

Yesterdays quick pics were mostly a disaster. I was right about Oklahoma "winning" the Big-12 South, but my last minute NFL picks were perhaps my worst bunch of the season. I went 4-8 with the Monday night game still pending. To be fair I would have gone 2-1 with my probable but never made Thanksgiving Day picks, but you get no points for probable wins.

Let this be a lesson: be wary of making public predictions off the top of your head. You need at least 15-20 seconds of deep thought per prediction to really get things correct.
