Grace Picks the Superbowl


When I got up this morning thinking about preparations for the big game today I was also wondering who might win the game. As I've been quite busy over the past couple of weeks, I have not checked the Vegas odds on who should win the Super Bowl and by how much. I remembered a story about an octopus in Germany who, during the wold cup, picked a perfect bracket. The octopus, named Paul, would be given two containers, each with a piece of food in it and a flag representing the game contestants. Whichever container Paul opened and retrieved the treat from, that team was predicted to win the match. Like I said a few sentences ago, Paul picked a PERFECT bracket during the 2010 World Cup. Read about Paul the Octopus' accuracy in sports betting HERE.
I got the bright idea this morning of performing a similar experiment with Grace. Not only is she smarter than an octopus, but infinitely more cute - therefore, if Paul got every choice correct, Grace should as well.
Without further ado... the XLV Super Bowl Champion,
as predicted by Grace... (drumroll please)


The stage is set...

Total & complete lack of interest...

The carpet is more interesting than this game...

Oh, this box looks good...

Go Packers!!

For those of you wondering, Great Grandma Grace is favoring the Stealers. We can predict that at least one of the two Graces will be correct.

  1. Right on. Next year, let's get her predictions a few days early - that way there is time to put some money on the game ;)
