“I didn’t guarantee a win,” [Nelson] said. “I didn’t say, ‘we’re going to …’ I said ‘we have to go win, we’re going to come get this win.’ And the media took it out of proportion or whatever they want to do. The media always wants a story. I mean, I really don’t care what people write, you know?”

If you take his words literally, Nelson is fibbing: he did predict a win. It wasn’t manufactured by the media. He didn’t use the word “guarantee,” but his exact words were, “We’re going to go there and win this game.” There’s no ambiguity there.
