The Raiders' Fate This Season Lies With a Magic Coin
In the words of the great Michael Scott, I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little-stitious.
Whether you think it's a crazy coincidence, an uncommon fun story, or if there's some level of divine intervention going on, a Las Vegas Raiders fan might be in possession of a magic coin.
Reddit user u/pongislame posted on the Raiders subreddit at the beginning of the season showing that he had flipped a coin for every game to get a prediction for each matchup. Nobody thought much of it as the time, but here we are in Week 12 and the coin has guessed every result correctly.
It even predicted them beating the Cowboys today, despite Las Vegas being set as a 7.5-point underdog. Here was the latest post, ahead of the Thanksgiving Day matchup.
If you don't think it's impressive, let me put it into perspective for you. The odds of the coin correctly predicting the first 12 games is 1 in 2,048. That's a 0.05% chance.
That's insane.
Whether you think it's just crazy luck or something else, this will be a fun story to follow along with for the rest of the season.
Raiders fans would love if the coin stays accurate, since it would mean a 10-7 finish which will more than likely result in a spot in the postseason.
