EAGLES FINALLY WIN A SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP

      I don't recommend using the Torah Codes to predict the outcome of sporting events, and I normally don't waste my time looking for them unless Philadelphia is involved. The axis term here is PHILADELPHIA at its 4th lowest (and final) skip in wrapped Torah. I had to use a row split of 4 to show the other terms. Of note is that EAGLES and the Hebrew year of their championship, 5778 (2018) are at the same skip as each other. The most significant a priori term found was CHAMPIONSHIP which was, before considering the ELS rank of the axis term, found against odds of about 145 to 1. The year of the championship was found against odds of about 15 to 1. The EAGLES were found against odds of about 3.9 to 1. The word CHAMPION, which is only 4 letters and which is not at a special case skip (+/- 1 or the absolute skip of the axis term) had virtually a 100% chance to be found on a matrix this large.

       Overall, after downsizing combined odds by 4 to account for ELS rank 4 of PHILADELPHIA, the matrix was found against odds of about 2,154. However I want to emphasize that I did not find it before the game, nor did I look for it then. I also made no effort to find the score. Nor will I respond favorably to requests for predictions related to sports that might be used for gambling purposes.

PHILADELPHIA MEMORIES. Guilty as charged! Yes, I did root for the Philadelphia Eagles in the Superbowl of 2018. But, as an Orthodox Jew, I'm also waiting for the Messiah. That the Eagles finally won a Super Bowl is proof that if you wait long enough, anything can happen (see Gell-Mann's Principle above). 

       I was born and raised in Philadelphia. As a kid I learned to love the Phillies (the city's baseball team) which began in 1883, but which did not win a world series until 1980 (they actually won another one in 2008). I also loved the fantastic Franklin Institute Science Museum that served as my playground on Sundays. Fairmount Park is also beautiful. But the rest of the city is largely a dump that I generally refer to as Thilthydelphia. Over my lifetime intelligent Philadelphians with the means to do so largely did one of two things - they either moved out of the city and into the suburbs, or they move out of the state to someplace that's warmer in the winter. I moved down to Florida in 1973. During the 70's the city's population fell by 261,786 people. When I was a 3-year toddler in Philly the population was about 2,071,605. By 2017 it was down to 1,567,872.

        There's lots to be depressed about in the grey world of Philadelphia so when the Eagles finally won the big game it was exciting, but I have a cousin just north of City Line Avenue who, without benefit of the Torah Codes, successfully predicted that a riot would break out if the game was won. The last time that I was in the city and drove north on Broad Street to City Line Avenue I saw what I remembered from about 43 years earlier - litter and graffiti everywhere. But crossing City Line Avenue and entering Elkins Park was like crossing a national border. Suddenly everything was clean.
