Big Game Prediction Thread - BostonCard - 11-17-2015

It's time.

I was initially going to go with:

Sequioa sempervirens 99
Ursus arctos californicati 3

but I'm thinking that might offend the woofing gods.  The fact that it would hurt my standing in the predictions doesn't enter into the equation, because this year, I suck.  I can't bring myself to go with an anti-whoofing prophecy (I leave those to Teejers, and hope that last week was the only time his clock was right).  So I will go with

Sequioa sempervirens 49
Ursus arctos californicati 33

Quote:What is "reverse woofing" or "anti woofing"?

Reverse woofing is the process whereby a sports fan tries to fool the
Gods of Woofing by woofing for the OTHER TEAM, in hopes that this will
cause the team that he/she really supports to win.


12. Does reverse woofing ever work?

No.  Reverse woofing will never work.  First of all, the Gods of
Woofing, being All-Knowing, know which teams every sports fans likes,
loves, hates, despises, or doesn't care about.  Second, reverse woofing
is extremely offensive to the Gods of Woofing for two reasons.  One,
it insults their intelligence when a mere mortal presumes that he can
fool them, and two, they are offended by such deviousness.  As a
result, reverse woofing is the most serious type of woofing possible,
and a reverse-woofer DOOMS his/her team to an embarrassing loss.

So we can blame Teejers for our loss to Oregon because he offended the woofing gods?

I see what you did there. Kinda like Reno is further west than Los Angeles.

A tremor in the space/time continuum last week shot me a week ahead and made my pick look foolish.  It was really my prediction for this week:
