I think if it were a series, both teams would win at least one.  Like I said, I was having a good laugh at what I perceived as overconfidence at someone being certain we would beat anyone this season, let alone a team with Stewart, if that makes sense.

The thing with these arguments is that no matter what, nothing can be proven on here.  I wish I could bump some greatest hits examples of people being sure.

One year, I took the opposite stance and made an open $50 bet to as many people who wanted to take it that we would make it into the tournament when almost everyone said we wouldn't.  Only 1 fella took it, and of course he lost(I told him he didn't have to send me the money, and he was grateful).  I'm only mentioning that to prevent being labeled anything, the way some of these folks labeled others as "trolls" for not bending the knee at every turn.

To answer your final question, I don't participate in them because it was explained to me they are merely people trying to look clever with what they name the teams, without much regard for accuracy of the scores.  So yes, I recently joked I did find their extreme lack of accuracy distasteful.  :p

I make few predictions, and like in the example given they are usually way against the odds, but also usually correct.  I reckon a take a bit of pride in that, being I can't blow my own horn about my connections or some of the other things folks do on here.  What I display here is what I have for you.

[B]tldr version:[/B] Amusing that anyone can be so sure of winning anything this season, let alone when playing against Stewart, as well as Hop, who understands this team.
