Can Quantitative Analysis Pick Super Bowl Winners?
FYI: Los Angeles-based Analytic Investors began using quantitative analysis to pick Super Bowl winners in 2004. From that year through 2013, the firm racked up a record that would impress any gambler and threaten to bankrupt many a small-time bookie: 9-1. But in each of the past two years, Analytic’s picks have come up short – will this be the year the firm returns to its winning ways?

Investor mood may affect financial markets. Sports may affect investor mood. The biggest mood-mover among sporting events in the U.S. is likely the National Football League’s Super Bowl. Is the week before the Super Bowl especially distracting and anxiety-producing? Is the week after the Super Bowl focusing and anxiety-relieving? Presumably, post-game elation and depression cancel between respective fan bases. Using past Super Bowl dates since inception and daily/weekly S&P 500 Index data for 1967 through 2015 (49 events), we find that:

It is the opposite of sound investment advice: Buy stocks if a given team wins the Super Bowl, and sell if the other team takes it. But the so-called Super Bowl indicator merits attention from investors not because it is wise, but because of the precise reason why it is stupid.

:The Carolina Panthers are a 5½-point favorite to beat the Denver Broncos, according to Vegas Insider. The over/under for the game is set at 45½.

Or higher scoring with the same 4 point win.
Yes, I have been warned about betting against @Ted.
Any team that keeps the Patriots out of the Super Bowl is my new favorite!!!
Plus, what a great way for Payton Manning to end a Hall of Fame carrier. John Elway style!
Denver 24, Carolina 17.

P.S. Not a fan of Panthers or Cam.
DEFENSE saved the day – not unlike my
investment strategy, which is currently doing the same
for my LT portfolio.
All is well in my hometown of Denver.
As good as Broncos defense was, QBs at SuperBowl level even when losing or facing great defense or team not showing support, show moments of brilliance in a play or two. Cam had nothing brilliant I can recall. Seemed overwhelmed by the big moment. Happens.
If Cam isn't ready for prime time yet, Manning showed it is time for his retirement pitching for his business interests on camera at his biggest moment (apparently has a stake in Annheiser-Busch distributors and Papa John's but not paid for this specifically). No class.
should I get my hopes up?
But watching that in slow motion several times with frequent stop frames, it appears to me that his moment of hesitation coincided with the Bronco arm reaching over the ball as if to scoop it up. So may be his brain decided that the ball was lost (combined with being available for rest of game without injury) or it might even have appeared to him that the ball would be knocked back towards him which is what his reaction seemed to be to me.
These are all split-second decisions that they have to make and I would always give the benefit of the doubt to the one on the field if there is plausibility, not us armchair QBs. In sport, war or business.
Yes, taking one for the team, country, etc., are more romantic and we expect our gladiators to do that ... since Roman times... for our viewing pleasure.
