Mike Francesa “altered the truth” concerning his prediction record

New York Post sports media writer, Phil Mushnick has written and talked about WFAN Radio’s Mike Francesa penchant to alter the truth.

Francesa did it again yesterday when he said that he had predicted the outright winner (not the point spread winner) in all 8 NFL post-season games which have been contested to this point.

He has predicted 7 of the 8 game winners and gone (5-2-1) vs the point spread.

I have detailed his predictions in 4 separate posts the last two weeks.

He predicted Cincinnati (Bengals) a three point underdog to win. They lost by two points giving him a point spread win which when he claimed a (3-1) point spread record for the wild card round was correct.

Repeating his claim of being correct on the winner of all 8 post-season games thus far is incorrect and the question is why he would state it?

The answer is because he can and that is pretty sad!

As far as game winners the above is truth, giving Francesa a “1” for each of his 4 game winner predictions.

However, the week before concerning the wild card round predictions, he does not get to spell “TRUTH” as the second game/u is not there. He picked Cincinnati and they lost to Pittsburgh. He claims the Cincinnati point spread victory and the Pittsburgh outright victory. That is not the truth!
