• Sports psychologist Dr. John F. Murray's trademarked "Performance Index" has determined that the Eagles will win Great Big Bowl XXXIX. The "Football Shrink" watches game film until his eyes are perfect spirals, then assigns point values on each play for such niceties as "focused execution" and "pressure management." 

The MPI showed an extremely close game and I wrongly picked the Eagles to win for fun when asked. The MPI cannot talk! But it was extremely accurate again. It is now 3 for 3 in the Super Bowl in terms of predicting the course of the game ... or the relative performance of the teams, and has actually beaten the spread 3 years in a row!
