Almost the smartest man on the face of the Earth

by Suckatsports

I'm sorry Monday Night Football, it will probably never happen again, but I passed up your game last night for baseball. I think you'll forgive me though. For one, you have Mike Tirico, Tony Kornheiser, and Ron Jaworski in the booth, and only one of you is even tolerable. Second of all, I am sadly a Cleveland fan, and as such, I wanted to wait and see with mine own two eyes the implosion that could have been by heady manager Eric Wedge. I cannot tell you it will never happen again, but next time I'll call, or something.

Either way, it turns out that I actually missed a pretty awesome game, or at least a pretty awesome 19 minutes. Because the rest was an official Dick Jauron unmitigated mess, or, as the rest of the league calls it, "Dick Jauron." I was following on Gamecast, and the last 4 seconds seemed to go on forever. I thought it just wasn't updating, but apparently, it actually did last forever - specifically for Bills fans.

You may ask, why I would, after such a horrible gut wrenching loss call myself an "almost" genius. Well, during our picks, I picked Buffalo +10.5, and that's not really all that surprising, having home dogs, and being a double digit line and all. But this is.

> Cowboys (-10.5) at Bills Hermano - Home dog? Check. A team that's due? Check. Is it cold as balls in Buffalo? Pretty sure. The perfect storm has arrived, and double digit points is too much. In fact, I think Bills win outright. Superbowl. Bills +10.5.

I was being facetious about the Superbowl, but I really did have a feeling that the Bills would win this game. And had not it been for a Grossman-to-Montana like transformation throughout the game, I would be the smartest man on the face of the Earth.

To win a game with a turnover margin of -5 is almost unheard of, and makes up for roughly 1% of all the possible outcomes. In a league where any turnover margin results in an 85% chance to win, it's quite historically significant that the Bills were able to overcome such gargantuan odds to give the game away. That's not really fair, I can't say they gave the game away because I didn't actually watch it. They choked when all they needed was one play to seal it. I think considering the outcome, this remains true, even if I had not seen the highlights of this. Congratulations to the Cowboys and Wade Phillips, but I still don't trust him, because look at what happened for 59 minutes.
