Eating high-cholesterol snacks, Nolan sits down to watch football. Lisa enters the room to show her dad a shoe box apartment she made for her dolls. Nolan is not really that interested.
Lisa complains to Marva Lynn, who suggests spending some "quality time" with Nolan by taking up his interests. Lisa plans to join her father on the couch, and an annoyed Nolan reluctantly agrees.
Meanwhile, Marva has taken Kevin shopping and proceeds to do everything possible to humiliate Kevin: buying terrible and nerdy clothes and ignoring his distaste, opening his dressing room door while he is in his underwear while customers watch and without closing it. The security guards kicked them out. Overlooking any comments he has about getting beaten up if he wears these outfits and leaving Kevin to be tormented by the bullies thinking they are his friends, and Marva Lynn kicks Freddy, Larry and J.B. out, and grabs Kevin out.
Lisa becomes very adept at choosing winners of football games, and Nolan cleans up. Nolan declares every "Daddy-Daughter Day." With his new money, he starts buying expensive presents for the family and treating them to fine dining. Marva Lynn eventually wants to know where Nolan's extra income is coming from and gets the truth, but Nolan says it's not really a big deal.
The next day at breakfast, Lisa says she is looking forward to spending the "Daddy-Daughter Day" after the championship. However, Nolan announces he had already made plans with Jim to go bowling, and that "Daddy-Daughter Day" is over until the next football season, making Lisa realize that all Nolan really wanted was to exploit her prognostic abilities to help him gamble. Marva Lynn is upset at Nolan and Kevin taunts him with the new swearing device that Nolan bought for him. Heartbroken and plagued by a dream that she grows up to be a three times divorced, tired, chain-smoking casino hopper, Lisa then gives up all the Malibu Stacy toys that Nolan bought for her.
Nolan realizes he needs to make amends with Lisa, but she is too hurt to even talk with him. In fact, she makes a cryptic prediction as to the winner of the game: If she still loves Nolan, Giants will win; if she doesn't, Bears. Nolan becomes even more anxious over his relationship with Lisa as the championship approaches. When he hears Lisa mournfully play her saxophone, he leaves for Moe's Bar to watch the game.
Nolan mopes throughout the game, especially after Giants gets a 10-7 halftime lead. In the end, The Bears rallies in the third quarter and scores to win the game. Nolan is sad, and Lisa was very elastic that the Bears won, but she was with Paul, Grady, Ed, Fran, Bill, Mick, Roy, Fred and Karl.
Nolan had his bowling date with Jim. Lisa and the cousins headed to lane, tells Nolan about the Bears win.
