Who Scores First Wins

The Wall Street Journal reports that "one key marker" to watch in the Superbowl is who scores first, since the team that scores first has won 26 of 38 Superbowls.

That is, just barely, statistically significant at the two-sigma level.

So this may not be a very powerful predictor (although it would be very surprising if it had no predictive power at all).
