So when you play great football teams like that, it usually ends with that split type of deal. We&#8217;ve been able to beat them in the playoffs, and they&#8217;ve gotten us in the regular season, but if you look at the games, every game&#8217;s close, so it just comes down to a play here or there that kind of usually makes an impact on the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aditude_inline_container aditude_ic_2\">\n<div id=\"aditude_article_inline_2\" class=\"aditude_div\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_97059225\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>One key: The health of the important participants &#8230;
