It all began when Bob Harmon began predicting college and NFL games in 1957. He devised a mathematical formula that picked winners correctly between 72 and 78 percent of the time; most seasons getting almost 75 percent of his picks right.
Today, Jim Harmon and his staff are the only forecasters who predict exact scores and chart every college and pro team.
Saturday's games (1/12/2002):
| *Philadelphia 19, Tampa Bay 13 |
| The first installment of Do-Over Day, and the Buccaneers need more help than the motivation of last week's loss to the Eagles to reverse it. Philly's offense is struggling; T.B.'s is pitiful. |
| *Oakland 26, N.Y. Jets 21 |
| Same field, six days later, and the Raiders won't need any more motivation than last week's stunning loss to the Jets, in which Oakland's defense showed that it can contain N.Y.'s ground game. |
Sunday's games (1/13/2002):
| *Green Bay 28, San Francisco 21 |
| Who can beat Brett Favre at home in the cold? Not the 49ers, who've lost seven of their last eight to G.B. Favre and Jeff Garcia combined for 602 passing yards in last year's 31-28 Packers win. |
| *Miami 17, Baltimore 14 |
| If the Ravens' performance against the Vikings on Monday night is any indication, they're not ready for the playoffs. The Dolphins are 2-0 against Baltimore, most recently winning 19-6 in 2000. |
