I'm not a huge football fan, but I am from New England so I've grown up with a certain ingrained loyalty. I heard this Friday on Marketplace and thought we were doomed based on the patriots record.

It says that if a team from the old American Football League wins the Super Bowl, the market will drop. If the winner comes from the original National Football League -- like my New York Giants -- the market's in for a rally. It's actually been right 85 percent of the time.

But it looks like now we have another chance!
