I would love to say that the Colts win, but the Patriots seem to always win the big games and well Peyton and the Colts do not...so I say a Patriots win, but I am cheering for the Colts

as for Saints/Bears...I can't see the Bears winning, they just aren't that good...I felt that the winner of the Philly/NO game was the team that was going to win the NFC, and I am sticking by that...Saints win

so I say Saints/Patriots

but I am hoping for Saints/Colts

Like I said earlier, no one could have scripted this any better.

I like the Colts in the AFC. The Indy D has been stepping up big time the last few weeks. New England only had 52 rushing yards yesterday. If it is an up and down the field contest, I'll take Manning and the Colts.

In the NFC (Formerly known as the 'Nobody Freaking Cares' Conference) I like the Bears. Sure, the Defense hasn't been as dominant as they have in the past, but being top 5 in almost every category has to count for something. The game will be decided when the Saints defense and Bears offense is on the field. Rexy put together a pretty good game yesterday. I think they hold on to win it in a close one.

The Super Bowl will be the battle of I-65.

I called the Saints and Colts a while ago, but I would never bet against Tom Brady (12-1 in postseason) I think this game will be in the 20's and the Pats will come out on top.... I like the Saints on the road Grossman hadn't played two bad games in a row and good his good one out of the way yesterday.....I think he goes back to old form and the Saints win a low scoring ball game...

This just in...

Snow and 26 degrees in Chicago at game time on Sunday. Something tells me that doesn't favor the dome team...

It really doesn't favor anyone.

You have guys playing for every NFL team that went to southern and west coast schools and hate that kind of weather, and guys playing that went to midwest or northern schools and are used to it.

figure less passing and more running if the conditions are crappy, and Indy can handle that type of O as well as da Bears.

Umm, Indy is playing in a dome on Sunday. I was refering to New Orleans.

Fun fact: The Saints run production was cut in half this year each time they played on a surface that wasn't plastic and rubber based.

Colts/Bears. Bad weather always helps the defense and the Bears obviously have the superior D. The Colts not in New England? Forget about it. All of this choker stuff is just sports radio fodder.

Since I am surrounded by Saints fans thanks to Katrina, I guess I should be pulling for New Orleans. I admit I am a Drew Brees fan having covered him in high school and having known his family for some time. And the Bears have the charisma of day old bread.

As for the Colts-Pats, frankly I could care less. But I believe Indy will win on the fake grass.

The Pats play on fake greass too btw. They have the same field we have at Liberty. I hope every team puts that stuff in. I think it is great. Anyway, I have Saints vs Colts in the first ever matchup between 2 domed stadium teams. Until 1999 no dome team had ever won a Superbowl then the Rams finally broke through. BTW I watched the Patriots/Rams Superbowl over again last night on the NFL channel. The Pats really hit them in the mouth in that game. They got away with a lot of man handling of receivers in that one much like they used to do Mannings receivers until the emphasis was put on not doing that anymore. They call everything now it seems so I think the Colts pull it out.

does everybody agree that the Rams/Titans Superbowl is the most underrated and possibly top 2 or 3 superbowls ever? Man I still get excited thinking about how close he was on that last play. But nobody ever talks about it as being one of the greats.

I've been surprised.


On a better note, earlier today we hung my surround sound speakers up. We put a speaker in every corner and hooked it up to the cable box. I'm watching the games with the tv speakers, a sub, a speaker on top of the tv, and then the speakers in all four corners. It's nice.

Grossman can't handle the pressure.
The Bears' defense is weak.
The Saints' offense is the best in the league.

Wait....

39-14 BEARS WIN!!!!

I hate to say I told you so...wait, no I don't!

How is it a collapse? The INT he threw was a GREAT play on the ball by the DB. Sometimes you have to give credit instead of blame.

what a freaking good game...and this Patriots hater couldn't dream of a better ending to the game...Tom Brady throwing an interception

with that said Peyton Manning really deserves a super bowl win...I am a temporary Colts fan...but I have always liked Peyton

Tom Brady help proves LT's point: he ran off the field without even shaking one hand.
Defensive Woes

Do we really have co-defensive coordinators?
