But some statistician even said the broncos had a 75 percent chance of winning this weekend. If you told me i had a 25 percent chance of winning the lottery tomorrow, id be pretty damn excited.

Exactly. Games are determined by moments, not the minds of individuals and their feelings about a topic or their well-being.
And as someone else pointed out, the article isn't even a prediction. It's the odds.
