Who will win today’s game?
I figured I would have a bit of fun and see who will be the winner by comparing two books (with no association to football whatsoever) that I have read. For today’s matchup we have:
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon
Vs.
The Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy
Even though these two teams do not matchup equally (it is the best I could come up with from books I have read), it was still a pretty tough competition. My love for Michael Chabon’s work has been expressed here previously, but I do not believe I have mentioned Tom Clancy before. He writes rather entertaining thrillers that I have shamelessly enjoyed over the years. The Cardinal of the Kremlin was as enjoyable as any Tom Clancy book. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, being Chabon’s first novel, was somewhat uneven and not all together indicative of his work that followed, although it was quite good. With that said, the game stays close into the fourth quarter until ultimately (and probably due to the fact I am from Pennsylvania) The Mysteries of Pittsburgh wins by a field goal...
So there you have it, my prediction for today’s game, The Pittsburgh Steelers will beat The Arizona Cardinals by less than a touchdown. Seems like a safe bet, I’m calling my bookie now…

Wow! I just finished the game and I think you've got something there!
I want to say there was science and deep thought put into this prediction... but alas, dumb luck strikes again!
