Superbowl Showdown

Okay people here we have it. The Superbowl is determined. Predict the winner and the score.

This is the ultimate show down. Peyton Manning and the Colts will face Brian Urlacher and the Bears.

Let's break it down.

Facts:

- Colts can come from behind and win the big game.

- Bears run the ball down people's throats and the Colts run Def isn't that good. (Thomas Jones 132 yds and 2 TD's vs the Saints. Benson 60 yds and 1 TD)

- Peyton Manning has still a lot to prove (and maybe destiny on his side?)

- Chicago has the better defense.

- Indy has the better offense.

- Grossman has proven he can handle the big game.

- The Colts Def has played awesome in the playoffs.

- Best Def vs the Best Off.

- The AFC is definitely better this season than the NFC.

- The Superbowl isn't being played in the snow.

- Bears Def can score pts (see week 6 Monday Nighter vs Arizona)

- Harrison and Wayne are awesome but they end throw TD's to TE's and Lineman?

- Bears just win. Not always pretty but one more W and they are the champs.

- Lovie vs Dungy.

Who's going to the SUPERBOWL?

Okay boys thanks for putting your bold predictions on the line. No one picked over 2 out of 4. At least we tried right? Unlike everyone else who reads these posts and don't post. Cowards.

So here we are the best weekend in football. Win and you go to the Superbowl lose and you are crying. Congrats to the Colts, Patriots, Bears and Saints. It's hard to make it here. It's even harder to win this game.

Question #1: Who's going to win the NFC and AFC Championship games this weekend?

NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:

New Orlean Saints @ Chicago Bears

Both teams won by a field goal. The Bears were as GOOD as Gould. And New Orleans went with the Bush/McAlister combo. I think my favourite play in the Saints/Eagles game was the rugby scrum pushing Duece into the endzone. I really don't think Bush was in but they didn't review it. The Bears got lucky vs Seattle. The Seahawks had more than enough chances but they couldn't execute. Alexander had a great day but that Hasselback INT was the turning point. No one thought it would be close. At least Grossman kept his job for one more week.


I think the Saints are the team of destiny. The Bears aren't that good. Struggled with the Hawks who New Orleans would have destroyed. Grossman will be the cause of the loss and he will not be back in Chicago next season.

My Prediction: Saints beat the Bears at Soldier field.


AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME:


New England Patriots @ Indianapolis Colts



Haven't we seen this before? Brady vs Peyton. Blue & White vs Blue & Silver.

Well here we go. The Patriots hung in there to upset the Chargers (that hurt the wallet). Colts showed everyone that their Def is the real deal.


Fact: Brady and New England are 13-1 in the playoffs.
Fact: Peyton Manning has never won the BIG game.

Who is better? At the moment hats have to go off to Brady who if they win this season could be the greatest QB to ever play the game. Yes I said it...this guy is clutch. If they win the whole thing this season they are the best franchise in NFL history especially when you consider the free agent era. Think about it his WR's are Gaffney and Caldwell. Both #3 WR's on the Texans and Chargers and he's making them into stars.

My Prediction: Patriots barely beat SD and Indy is a different team...they are hungry... you know what the difference will be?


Adam Vinatieri! He is clutch. No kicker better in the playoffs. New England will miss him especially on Sunday.

Question #2: Who's going to win the SUPERBOWL on Feb 4th?

Colts vs Saints
This is where the Saints go marching in but come out empty handed. The combo of Manning to Harrison will be too much for the Saints. Marvelous Marvin will win the MVP with 3 TD's. For the Saints it will be a disappointing loss but they will be happy remembering last year they picked second in the draft and in the SB the next year. And Peyton will finally get "the flying monkey" off his back. Brees is great but he can't control the fumbles of Reggie Bush. But didn't I say that the Saints are the team of destiny? Yes they are because they bring a city together but the real team of destiny will be the mighty Colts.

Of course I could be wrong but I HIGHLY doubt it.

NFL Divisional Playoffs Predictions

Well I was right about ALL FOUR games during the Wild Card weekend. What a WILD weekend it was:
Indy was WAY better than KC, NO 1st downs for the Chiefs = no chance.
Seattle edged out Dallas. I still can't believe they won but a W is a win. I was right Dallas can't beat anyone good. Poor Romo...lol
Philly beats NY in a close one. The Eagles are good and the Giants actually made a great game of it.
New England kills the Jets. The Jets were the worst team in the playoffs.

Divisional Playoff Predictions: All 4 matchups are going to be great...what a weekend to watch football.

NFC:

Eagles @ Saints.

Garica and Westbrook look great but I think the Saints will be marching in. The team of destiny will win this game. The Saints have a ton of fire power.

Seahawks @ Bears.

I know the last time Seattle was in Chicago they got shelled. But the Bears D hasn't played as well lately and Grossman sucks (they should have drafted a QB). Seattle will squeek out a victory @ Soldier Field. And Cowboys fans will really be depressed knowing it could be them.

AFC:

Colts @ Ravens

Baltimore should do a better job with the run than KC...and Baltimore is going to blitz Indy all day. But if there is someone who can counter that it's Peyton who is the audible king. Indy will shock the world by beating the Ravens in Baltimore moving to the AFC Championship game.

Patriots vs Chargers.

If there is one team you don't want to face in the playoffs it's the Patriots. Brady has lost only one playoff game. The Chargers are no push over with the best record in football and Mr. MVP. One thing you must remember the Patriots are not the team like they were in the past. Chargers win this one and host the AFC Championship game. (Side note: Do you know that I have tickets to the AFC Championship game in SD? Going to make a ton of $ on Ebay.) The Chargers D is amazing and Rivers is better than most think. Brady will experience the nickname Lights Out!

Of course I could be wrong but I highly doubt it.

THE Question: Who are you picking?
