    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Lisa, angry at Homer for tricking her into helping him gamble on football, makes a bet that if she loves him the winner of the Super Bowl will be the Washington Redskins and if she doesn't the Buffalo Bills would come out on top (Washington won). When this episode premiered, those two teams were actually squaring off in Superbowl XXVI and Washington won 37-24. Over the next three years, Fox made it a tradition to air this episode just before the Super Bowl and change the dialog so that the teams would include whatever teams were playing that year. According to the DVD commentary, Lisa accurately picked the winning team every single year. Coincidentally, the Buffalo Bills lost three consecutive Super Bowls from 1992 to 1994. Thus, The Simpsons' accurate predictions always involved assuming Buffalo would lose. (The Bills also lost an earlier Super Bowl in 1991, but there was no Simpsons episode about that one.)

      When Lisa gives her speech at school, Miss Hoover has only one leg. Miss Hoover actually has her other foot against the desk as you can see part of her other shoe.

    Better Bettor
    Homer finds out that Lisa is a master at predicting the outcomes of NFL games. He begins to make serious money from Moe, his bartender/bookie. While LIsa enjoys her father/daughter time, it soon becomes obvious that Homer is really interested in the money. That's the conflict that is at the center of this episode.
