As I said in another post, I've played this guy's NCAA bracket. He's not infallible, and nobody is going to accurately predict jack shit this far out. Silvers will continue to issue revisions until the inevitable is staring him straight in the face. He can aggregate all the polls he likes, but he can't gauge the anger of the people.
