Update: Justin Verlander got the score of the Super Bowl exactly right.

Seems like everyone’s willing to make a Super Bowl prediction. In fact, even a camel, gorilla, rhinoceros, and ostrich are getting in on the action. After spending a few minutes browsing Google News, I was able to put together a list of 120 different predictions that includes celebrities, pundits, and high school football coaches. Maya Angelou, for example, favors the Giants, while Vanilla Ice is a Patriots man.

Of these 120 predictions, 62 (52%) picked the Giants to win. On average, the Patriots are forecast to score 25.0 points versus the Giants’ 25.1 points. The median point prediction for both teams was 24. The average margin of victory was 5.5 points, with a median value of 4 points. While the score totals are in line with historical Super Bowl averages (45.8 points), the projected margin of victory is way below historical averages (14.3), as detailed in my last post.

Here’s a (highly smoothed) summary of the data. Frankly, it’s not that interesting, since forecasters were basically split on the winner.

And here’s the full table. Enjoy the game, everyone.
