Getting the Football Spirit
</hdr><body>
<p>By Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
</p>
<p> "I don't have a system," explains Sister Marie Louise, 89,
a Washington nun who has won national attention by her
uncannily accurate picks of the winners of National Football
League games. "I read the newspapers. If I get a hunch, I stick
with it. Of course, I do pray and ask the Holy Spirit for help."
That seems to work divinely. On a local TV program that asks
guests for N.F.L. predictions, the Visitation nun, who once
played basketball and baseball, has so far bested the secular
guessers. Along with the mother superior, a fellow football fan,
the sister follows the sport on the convent TV. Has she made a
pick for the Super Bowl? Only heaven knows.
