Kyle Dean · Answer 1

The probabilities of wins that are consistent is that of the New England patriots and Dallas cowboys.

Explanation:

Given the fact that both of the teams probability of a win was estimated to be 20% gives the two teams a consistent probability.

Another thing to note here is that the estimation or predictions were made by two different persons that is Oscar and Felix and both teams were given the same probability.
