Super Bowl LI

[James48843]

According to the Super Bowl Stock Market Theory, a win by the champion of the National Football Conference (NFC) predicts an up year for the stock market, while a victory by an American Football Conference (AFC) team indicates a down year.

Believe it or not, the league affiliation of the winning team has correctly predicted the direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in all but eight Super Bowls.

It might be hard to believe, but this wacky indicator has been accurate 37 out of the 45 years the Super Bowl has been played. That's a record of 82.2 percent accuracy since the very first Super Bowl in 1967.


A PATRIOTS WIN (AFC) MEANS THE STOCK MARKET WILL END LOWER THAN IT STARTED THIS YEAR.

When this theory is wrong, it's wrong big time. In 2008 the NFC won and the S&P dropped 38%. In 2013 the AFC won and the market went up 29%. No thanks.

You got the wrong hombre then. I'm no sore loser like a bunch of folk running free and posting on forums like a bunch of crazed dogs.
Besides, as good as the Falcons look, we're liable to be playing for Super Bowl trophies for a few years to come.
