I certainly wouldn't want Joe's prediction. His cousin, John, though, is a different story.
All my point was was that people were not checking to see if their prediction had already been taken (like in the "pick a card" contests).
Anyways, I'm sure I will win because earlier today I wrote the prediction, put it in an envelope, addressed it, put a stamp on it, and handed it to Casey. I then invited him to put the letter in any mailbox in town. (why he has to mail it and cannot just hang onto it, I do not know). The following day (or whenever the letter happens to arrive), alone at home, Casey's brain will slowly disassemble itself and finally shut down, trying to figure out how I knew. The accurate prediction will make me the recipient of the signed football. This is a reputation maker, people!
Note: this will work with foreign postal services!
