Seabiscuit defeats War Admiral
You have to consider what Seabiscuit was going up against. War Admiral (Who was the 1-4 favorite ) was a known speed horse and head to head races often favor fast starters. War Admiral was also the son of Man o' War who's considered by many to be the greatest race horse of all time. Winning this race earned Seabiscuit the 1938 Horse of the Year award.
On a unrelated note it's kind of sad. Most horses can live into their 30s and even their 40s sometimes. Seabiscuit died 6 days short of only his 14th birthday.

I give this one to Elway and the Broncos... because I remember how emotionally invested I was in that game. It was huge and no better story in football than Elway finally getting what he deserved

I in no way see how a 12-4 team beating a 13-3 team in the Super Bowl is a upset. It's more of a emotional story with John Elway finally winning a Super Bowl then it is a upset story.
1964 Summer Olympics

It's too late but again anyone care to explain to me how the Broncos beating the Packers is a upset?

It's too late but again anyone care to explain to me how the Broncos beating the Packers is a upset? Because it was a "fizzle out every year" Bronco team with an aging John Elway taking out the reigning champion Packers with Brett Favre in his prime at the helm. Plus, the spread was Packers by 11, which was the largest spread since Super Bowl 3, so that kinda puts things into a little perspective. Broncos advance and we head into round 2 Round 2, Match 1 2004 UEFA Euro - Greece wins at 150-1 odds ![](http://www.lacancha.com/images/greececel.jpg) DEFEATED: 2010 Stanley Cup Eastern Conference Semifinals - Flyers defeat Bruins after trailing series 3-0 4-1 VERSUS 1990 World Series - Reds defeat A's ![](http://www.sportsblink.com/product_images/cincinnati-reds-world-series-champions-team-plaque-3311701.jpg) DEFEATED: 1913 Kentucky Derby - Donerail wins derby at 91-1 odds 3-2

Plus Elway had failed so many times and he wasn't getting any younger.
Going with Reds over A's.
