The Detroit Lions and the Super Bowl are two things that we’re seeing put into the same sentences a lot these days. Just a couple days ago Sports Illustrated picked the Lions to win the big game at the end of the year and they aren’t alone. There’s been other outlets that have selected the Lions.
But there’s really only one analyst that matters in the sports world and it’s becasue they have a scientific methodology to make their picks. We’re not talking about the DVOA guys or Pro Football Focus, we’re talking about the genius that is AirCorg.
Yes, we’re referring to the dog that knocks basketballs down the stairs into buckets with team logos on them. Yes, this is us being dumb and funny and yes, this actually seems to be accurate a lot.
The corgi named Lilo Ku has a roughly 70% hit rate according to her dog parents that run the popular Tik Tok channel. The Corgi accurately predicted that the Denver Nuggets would win the championship in 2023, but did have the Dallas Mavericks winning in 2024. So there’s some give and take. Anyhow, AirCorg did it’s NFL picks this week and she has the Lions beating the Texans to win their first Super Bowl ever.
