Oz Pearlman, also known as Oz The Mentalist, started this NFL season with a mind-blowing performance on HBO’s Hard Knocks with the New York Jets. He might end the season with a grand finale.
On Hard Knocks, which took place during training camp, Oz had wide receiver Mecole Hardman make a Super Bowl prediction in front of his teammates. Hardman predicted his team would play the San Francisco 49ers and win by a score of 31-21. As Pearlman tends to do, he already had that prediction written down on a big white board. Ta-da! That was the trick. The end, right? Well, not quite. Because that prediction might actually come true. Kind of.
While the Jets didn’t make the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl, “The Jet” did. That’s Hardman’s nickname. He was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in October. So the Jet still has a chance to beat the 49ers 31-21. Mind blown yet?

Bettors are convinced that final score prediction is worth a sprinkle.
