Super Bowl Thread - Pick/Analysis

[Gander]

My prediction is I will eat an entire large pizza myself. I would like to see the Bears win for the city of Chicago and to silence all of the so called experts who say the Colts are a lock.

Here goes...In a low scoring game I will predict Bears 20- Colts 14

Take the Bears and the under.

When Mr. Freeney meets Mr. Grossman, bad things will happen for the black and orange.

Key to game is Indy forcing Bears to start with bad field position. If Indy can get a lead and then turn the dogs loose on Rexy boy, it could get ugly. Indy must also control Devin Hester and not let him make big plays. The Bears must get ahead of Indy and put pressure on Peyton. Field position is more important to Bears. They need some big plays to relieve pressure on Rex. Despite the propaganda from Lovie, Rex only plays well when they protect him and get a lead. He tightens up and forces the ball into bad spots when pressured.
Rex was able to take advantage of one of the worst corners in the league against Saints. No such advantage here.
Both teams have clutch kickers and good punters. Indy's coverage teams were spotty against NE, cant do that against Hester.
Manning will carve up the Bears cover 2 between the 20's but they must score TD's in the red zone. Dallas Clark may have monster game.

Indy 31
Chicago 20

Although I am fully supporting Da Bears on Sunday, I agree with your analysis. Almost all of it, that is... Bears colors are navy blue and orange.

But black is more sinister looking

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

well i agree that da bears will have a tough time covering all those targets..but payton is in for the long day..he will get sacked at least 5 times..marvin will get his head handed to him .accros the middle and we strip the ball better than any team..grossmans passer rating is better than paytons in the playoffs..bears win my friend..

[skippy3481]

Hooves come on, peyton wont get sacked 5 times and marvin doesn't run slants across the middle. The only way to beat harrison is to bump him and play him physical at the line. Much as the patriots did. If you outmuscle him, you can shut him down. You won't shut reggie down. And dallas clark vs urlacher, ill take the te every time. The bears are in a for a long day. ON the other side i really hope grossman doesn't suck, ive met him a couple of times, he seems like a genuine guy. Plus he grew up about 15 miles from me.

Colts 35
Bears 17

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

2006 NFL playoff record : 8-2 (with lines) 4-6 (o/u)

SUPER BOWL XLI

COLTS 30 BEARS 16

Fast start for Petyon and the boys and never look back...
Bears defense takes a "back seat" to the Colts "D" and Grossman has the almightly turnovers and it cost him.
Reggie Wayne has a big day and is your MVP...Peyton has a good game and Tony Dungy gets that "big win" he deserves!

In a big game or regular season game, what quarterback would you rather have?
PEYTON MANNING or REX GROSSMAN ???

enuff said!

[PeteMugg]

I'm seeing business as usual with both teams, but Devin Hester could be the difference. Except we might get the Hester that fumbles it away.

Colts by 10.

[zippyneedsawin]

Here's my prediction.. I think the Colts should win.. but I'll take the Bears +7... and I think they win outright anyway... Bears 34 Colts 10

[GPK]

I predict the Bears will score first....

[stevepopyak]

Well, that didn't take very long ... Hester.

[Crown@club]

Yea Baby!!!!

[GPK]

I sure hope it does not get ugly early...I wanna see a good game at least.

good luck to everyone and their bets.

[ArlJim78]

I've seen enough,

Hester for MVP.

[Crown@club]

Jerks should of went for 2.

[ninetoone]

That missed FG by Adam V. just cost me $125 in the squares...

[skippy3481]

Bye Bye pretenders, Best defense, forget that, they were outplayed and outcoached. Best team won here.

[Crown@club]

One of the worst Super Bowl's ever played. No one played any good except for the Indy RB's and the Offensive Line. Peyton did not deserve that MVP. It should had been given to the offensive line.

Well its over, on to the final 2 months of NCAA Basketball. Congrats Colts fans. I need the vom....... face. He He

[Cajungator26]

Yawn. Thank God NASCAR starts up soon.

[ddthetide]

best team won but the play was poor, from both teams.
bring on some nice weather and the run for the roses.
