Super Bowl 48 is expected to be a close contest, with each team having legitimate reasons why they could or should win. Since I don’t really have a rooting interest, and I’m pining very hard for baseball, I decided to see if the winning league in MLB’s All-Star Game and/or World Series could be used as a predictor of the winning conference in the Super Bowl.
Below you will find the yearly winners of the World Series, All-Star Game from 1966 forward, and that season’s Super Bowl :
