Super Bowl Predictions

That is the COOLEST thing. We went to it 2 or 3 times in Houston while we were there for the SB. We saw Lynn Swan walking thru there from his appearance at the card show (we got pics of him as he was stopping to sign 'graphs for people) among other retired NFL players. That whole thing is neat and if you ever get to one of the places where any of the SBs are held, definitely spend the money to go to the NFL Experience a couple of times. It's hard to take in on one visit.

 

Bears 24
Colts 21

Devin Hester will have a return for a touchdown and get the MVP.

 

Bears 3
Colts 2

Bears OL Ruben Brown will line up as an eligible receiver and take a halfback option pass from Matt Suhey and rumble 89 yards to set up Bob Thomas's gamewinning field goal as time expires. Brown is named MVP

I think the Bears score a defensive TD, a special teams TD and an offensive TD and a figgie to ice the game.

They expose the Colts run defense by running over 150 yards between Jones and Benson. They will run at Freeney and cut his ability to catch up to the RB and make a play. Because of their ability to run the ball, they will get a pass of over 45 yards on play action.

Their defense will sit back and double cover the WRs. Their defensive line will generate pressure on Manning, and although they might not a lot of sacks, they will put constant pressure on him and make him move around a lot in the pocket as well as throw the ball before he wants to.

 

If the Colts can beat Baltimore on the road then they will have no problems with the Bears. The Ravens are basically a better version of the Bears.

 

The Bears very rarely double receivers because of the scheme they run, and they can't double both wideouts unless you expect them to run out of the nickel and dime the whole game.

 

BEARS:
I can't stand Grossman, so I predict he'll have one of his turd drop games. As for the rest of the offense, they will run the ball well, but will struggle to score since they have to rely on the run so much...alloming Sanders to set up shop near the LOS.
Da Bears D and special teams will continue to carry the team. The D will allow a few big plays, but will make a few as well. The Return game and kicking game will be huge for Chicago.

COLTS:
Peyton Manning will over prepare for this game and will come out looking like steaming trash the first half. Once he settles down, he'll put together some drives and hit a couple big gainers. Dominic Rhodes is going to be the player on the Colts offense to have the most impact and will do so with limited touches.
Defensively, with Sanders on the field, the Colts D will essentially shut down the Bears passing game, while they will allow the Bears to get some yards on the ground, they will not allow much in the way of points.

The Finish: I am seeing a close game with Vinitieri (sp) missing a 40-ish yard FG as time expires...poetic justice. Bears win 23-21.

Colts win 31-21.

 

KARMA FACTOR:

It's been 35 years since the Colts last won the Super Bowl. The game was played in Miami; This week's game is in Miami though at a different stadium (Dolphins Stadium vs. Orange Bowl). Bears haven't won in 21 years. Hmmmmmm, one of these streaks must end . . .

Rex Groosman will have a bad day on the wrong day . . . 3 INT's will kill the Bears. Everybody will have to get off Peyton's jock after winning the big game (especially WFNZ's PRIMETIME guest host Richard Walker who is always dogging him on the air but how bad he is!!!!!!!).
