Interesting game. With only 9 minutes remaining in the 4th Quarter and the Jaguars up 20-10, it looked like my forecast of a 21-14 Jaguars win was on target, and even the final score (Patriots 24, Jaguars 20) wasn't that far off the mark either except for not actually identifying the winner and loser as … Continue reading Update #1: NFL (AFC) Championship Game

American Football Playoff Forecast
I'm not a fan of American football by any stretch of the imagination (I'd rather actively engage in solo sports than passively observe team sports), nor am I a fan of watching television outside of the rare HBO series that captures my interest. But I am a fan of using tarot to predict the results … Continue reading American Football Playoff Forecast

I thought I would try an experiment to see if I could come up with a layout that would emulate a baseball box-score for the final game of the World Series. I used a Tarot de Marseille deck (the Hadar) because the non-scenic pips are easier to read as pure numbers. Since not many Major … Continue reading A 2017 World Series Postscript
A 2017 World Series Prediction
UPDATE: I neglected to report back on the outcome. I got the score right (5-1) but the winning team wrong; the Houston Astros won Game Seven and the World Series, four games to three. Using the coin flip may not be a reliable way to assign the teams to the rows since there is a … Continue reading A 2017 World Series Prediction
An Unlikely Prediction
On February 2, 2017 I performed a predictive tarot reading on the outcome of Super Bowl 51 (aka “Super Bowl LI”). For many in the country, the New England Patriots were the “black hat” contender because of the “Deflategate” scandal, even though the football pundits considered them a convincing favorite to win. One of the … Continue reading An Unlikely Prediction
