About the episode
Hoping to bond with Homer, Lisa joins him for football and proves a near-flawless judge of winners, so Homer bets her picks at Moe's Tavern. When he announces that their Sundays together will end after the Super Bowl, Lisa realizes he only wanted her tips. Hurt, she gives him a final pick that doubles as a verdict on their relationship: Washington if she still loves him, Buffalo if not.
