Before you settle in, do a quick scan of your living room. Is your lucky hat in place? Did you wear the socks you wore during that game against the Cardinals? Don’t laugh—science says sports fans are irrational, but you and I know it’s pure energy. If you spill your dip on the first drive, that’s a bad omen. I’m not saying it’s real, but I’m also not saying it isn’t.
While you’re at it, check if the Seahawks are playing at home in Seattle. If they are, expect the 12th Man to be loud enough to rattle your speakers. Kinda wish I could bottle that noise and sell it as a white noise machine, right?
