Don't underestimate your opponent, but don't overestimate them, either.

(J)ust as we tend to underestimate the role of luck in life in general, we tend to overestimate it in games of chance.

I never underestimate my opponent, but I never underestimate my talents.

I say to my colleagues never confine your best work, your hopes, your dreams, the aspiration of the American people to what will be signed by George W. Bush because that is too limiting a factor.

I never rooted against an opponent, but I never rooted for him either.

Facing a team with this type of record, there is a tendency to underestimate that type of opponent. But they're a solid team that has had a couple bad breaks at inopportune times and can beat anyone.
