Lisa the Greek/References

== Cultural References ==
*When Homer says to Moe "I used to hate the smell of your feet. Now it is the smell of victory", he is quoting a line from .
*The episode title is a reference to former sports commentator Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder.
*The character Smooth" Jimmy Apollo is based off of Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder and the character Brent Gunsilman is based off of Brent Musberger.
*Troy McClure references The Odd Couple when he says "Jack Handle, a retired cop who shares an apartment with a retired criminal. We're the original odd couple!"
==Trivia==
*The episode accurately predicted that Washington would beat Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI. However, the score was different.
*After Lisa chooses who she thinks is going to win, she states that she will bet her entire college fund on it. Homer then calls Moe to place his bet and tells him to put $23 on New York (though "Lisa's First Word" revealed that Homer put Lisa's college fund in with Lincoln Savings and Loan, which was infamously shut down in 1989. The $23 could be all that was left of it).
*In 1992, Yeardley Smith won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for this episode.
*Ugolin and Cesar appear for the first time since The Crepes of Wrath, only now, they are out of prison, living near Paris (we can see The Eiffel Tower by the window), and watching Jerry Lewis movies in an apartment.
*Lisa says she and Homer used to have burping contests, possibly a callback to how in the Tracey Ullman Shorts she did burping contests with Bart.
*When this episode aired as a repeat in 1993, the episode was redubbed as "Washington" and "Redskins" were replaced with "Dallas" and "Cowboys," respectively, beginning when Homer makes his Super Bowl pick, as the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills played in Super Bowl XXVII on January 31, 1993. This would prove to an accurate prediction as well.
==Goofs==
* When Homer is watching Denver vs. New England the end zones correspond to say the two teams in each end zone. Really the end zones should have the name of only the home team in both.
* After Homer tells Lisa to keep the gambling a secret from Marge, she switches from standing on the couch to sitting on it between cuts.
*As seen several times in the early seasons, Marge's orange station wagon is once again colored pink like Homer's sedan, in the scene where bullies shake the car after Bart just got his new clothes.
