Update: The NFC championship game is over and the Rams won. The two things about this reading that were accurate were that the decision did come down to the final seconds, and the Rams did reassert themselves at the 11th hour by forcing a sudden-death overtime. Interestingly, my prediction for the Chiefs-Patriots game hints that … Continue reading National Football Conference Championship: Saints vs. Rams

American Football Conference Championship: Chiefs vs. Patriots
Update: Well, now, as sportscaster Howard Cosell used to say in his trademark nasal whine, "How about that!" It turns out that Death reversed did in fact signify a sudden-death overtime, and the Chief's Hierophant reversed did mean they "didn't have a prayer." My scoring projection was on the low side but the overall complexion … Continue reading American Football Conference Championship: Chiefs vs. Patriots
Sporting Event Prediction: Lessons Learned
For roughly two years now I've been using tarot to attempt picking the winners and the comparative scores in sporting events. Needless to say, my track record until recently has been less than stellar. I started off with a bang, accurately predicting the regulation tie between the Patriots and the Falcons in the 2017 Super … Continue reading Sporting Event Prediction: Lessons Learned
2018 World Series, Game 5 Prediction
Game 5 Recap: I'm happy to take a 5-1 Red Sox win as divinatory success when the cards predicted a 4-1 win for Boston. The assumed meltdown of the Dodgers' bullpen didn't materialize as dramatically as anticipated, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts' strategic error of leaving starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw in the game too long … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 5 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 4 Prediction
Game 4 Recap: Beyond correctly predicting the winner, there were a couple of key observations in this reading. The Red Sox with Justice as their "edge" definitely "delivered the verdict in no uncertain terms," and Temperance coupled with Justice allowed them to regain their poise going into the final innings of the game. The Dodgers … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 4 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 3 Prediction
Game 3 Recap: The Dodgers win confirmed the prediction, although by a more slender margin than anticipated. It looks like both pitching staffs were up to the challenge. Original Pregame Post, 10/26/19 @ 0800 With the Major League Baseball World Series relocating to Los Angeles for Game 3, my approach places the home-team Dodgers in … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 3 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 2 Prediction
Game 2 Recap: As predicted by the scoring model, the game was a close one, 4-2 instead of 4-3, but the win went to Boston as David Price came through. It seems that all the reversals gave more trouble to the Dodgers, while the Red Sox relievers were flawless. Pitching was the deciding factor, abetted … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 2 Prediction
2018 World Series, Game 1 Prediction
Game 1 Recap: For the first couple of innings, my scoring estimate looked like a winner and, until the 6th inning, the game stayed reasonably close to the numbers shown by the spread's scoring model: 5-3 Read Sox vs. the predicted 6-1 final score. But the Red Sox bats eventually lived up to the 6 … Continue reading 2018 World Series, Game 1 Prediction
2018 Super Bowl Prediction
Let's try this again using the same spread. The National Football League championship game predictions were inaccurate as far as determining the winners and losers but not that bad concerning the mechanics of scoring. For the Super Bowl reading I decided to use the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery as the main deck and the … Continue reading 2018 Super Bowl Prediction
Update #2: NFL (NFC) Championship Game
In this case, it looks like the raw scores I came up with by adding up the card values were the most accurate: the projected 36-14 best-case win for the Philadelphia Eagles over the Minnesota Vikings was not far removed from the actual 38-7 final score. (The Eagles did in fact "run away with it" … Continue reading Update #2: NFL (NFC) Championship Game
