Coming off a failed
prediction of a Mitt Romney presidential victory, Republican
strategist Karl Rove has turned his prognosticatorial acumen toward
the NFL, forecasting a Superbowl win for the Cleveland Browns. The
Browns, who last played in a national championship game in 1965, fell
to 2-8 on the season after yesterday's lose to Dallas. Rove predicted
that the Browns would face the Ottawa Senators in the championships
game and they would win “by at least 4 runs.” Nate Silver, of the
blog fivethirtyeight.com, noted that only six games remain in the
season making even a playoff berth for the Browns a near mathmatical
impossibility. Silver did concede, however, that the Browns' chances
of reaching the Superbowl were nearly identical to those of the
Senators. Silver went on to describe Rove as “statistically
insignificant.”
