Nate Silver is proving he’s more adept at predicting presidential races than football games.

The 34-year-old statistician and creator of the widely read New York Times blog FiveThirtyEight predicted that the New England Patriots would meet the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.

He was wrong on the Seahawks.

The Seahawks were beaten in the last few seconds of the game by the Atlanta Falcons on the weekend.

He may still be right on the Patriots.

The Patriots won their playoff game against the Houston Texans 41-28, keeping their hopes alive for the Super Bowl.

They still have to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday to advance to the Super Bowl.

The other semifinal battle pits the Falcons against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seahawks almost made Silver’s predictions look bang on after they took the lead with less than a minute left.

However, the Seahawks lost 30-28 after making a great comeback.

Silver had correctly predicted the presidential winner in all 50 states and almost all of the senate races.

He does admit that predicting football isn’t foolproof.

“There’s always uncertainty in any metric,” he explained to ESPN.
