Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLisa, angry at Homer for tricking her into helping him gamble on football, makes a bet that if she loves him the winner of the Super Bowl will be the Washington Redskins and if she doesn't the Buffalo Bills would come out on top (Washington won). When this episode premiered, those two teams were actually squaring off in Superbowl XXVI and Washington won 37-24. Over the next three years, Fox made it a tradition to air this episode just before the Super Bowl and change the dialog so that the teams would include whatever teams were playing that year. According to the DVD commentary, Lisa accurately picked the winning team every single year. Coincidentally, the Buffalo Bills lost three consecutive Super Bowls from 1992 to 1994. Thus, The Simpsons' accurate predictions always involved assuming Buffalo would lose. (The Bills also lost an earlier Super Bowl in 1991, but there was no Simpsons episode about that one.)

Super Bowl Prediction/ Lisa episode
I just want to say that, this episode is a classic, solid plot, good character development throughout the episode! But another thing that really stood out to me is the fact that this episode, aired 3 days before the Super Bowl of 1992, which pitted Washington redskins against the Buffalo Bills! The score might've been wrong at halftime in the show, but the fact that they predicted Washington winning before the game even happened, coincidental or not, is pretty incredible, especially considering the fact, they had this episode set up a long time in advance, they would've had enough time to change the teams around when the super bowl was set!
