How about some predictions not only on Score but how the game will go?
And Identify whether or not you're a huge fan of either team or just a regular football fan.
Me Bears fan since birth. My oldest's middle name is Payton. Not PEyton but PAyton.
Bears 31 Colts 28.
Bears keep Peyton off the field with solid running game. Grossman is steady but not spectacular just like he was against the Saints. Doesn't turn the ball over, overall stats nothing to write home about but he makes the plays and passes when he needs to. Defense or Special Teams makes 1 TD. Rex throws for one. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson each run for 1.
Manning still has good game the Bears beat the Colts D. The main reason Manning doesn't win is the Bears relying heavily on the run keeping him off the field.
Time of Posession winds up being key to victory along with no turnovers.
Prince will be good.
The commercials will be good.
The Colts will win 16-13.
Now, if Ditka was with the Bears ...
Bears 176 Colts 0
Bears will win, and Rex Grossman will be named Super Bowl MVP.
The Bears aren't at Soldier Field........
The game is in a warm cushy stadium, lots of lights dancing girls and fanfare.
Colts, 34
Bears, 17
Bears 30
Colts 28
Despite Hester running back two punt returns, and the Bears defense shutting down Manning by holding them to 3rd and long on several series of play. This forces three interceptions by Manning. The Bears only captialize on one. Addai has a decent running game, which keeps the Colts alive. Manning has a good drive late in the foruth and puts the Colts ahead by one with three minutes left to play.
Grossman leads the offense down the field and Gould kicks the winning field goal.
Hester will be the MVP, Phil Simms will make a big deal out of it because he is young. Grossman won't play an awesome game, but won't completely suck either.
The pulled pork sanwiches will be awesome. The hot wings superb and I will avoid heartburn and indigestion by taking Prilosec on Saturday.
I don't care which team wins as long as they score the correct number of times in order to ensure I will big on my football squares. :)
COLTS
BOLTS
BELTS
BEATS
BEARS
I can't see Manning being able to handle the on-slaught that the Bears defense will bring. Anytime Manning is moved from the pocket he loses...look at the Texan's playbook vs.Manning.
Look for the Bears Def/Special teams to put up a couple of scores as well......Bears 34 Colts 14.
Prince is the half time show.
With respect to that, I predict that Prince way something purple from Minnesota gets on a Superbowl field for a loooooong time.
I predict that my friends and I will drink a copious amount of beer and consume dozens of Bojangles' buffalo wings.
Final Bears 24 - Colts 10.
put the words "the only" inbetween "Prince" and "way"
I'll bet you call him 'Sweetness'.
Sounds good to this season ticket holder for 30 years.
Grossman is going to confound his critics and Urlacher will be indomitable. Colts had better watch out for Devin Hester too.
The only thing that bothers me is that an African-American coach will lose the Super Bowl this Sunday..and that is just not right or fair..we should have co-champions..
Prediction?
I will be happy with the result.
I like Dungy, but I also have a certain high level of identification with the beer drinking, sausage eating Bears Superfan.
Do you mean you'll not be drunk til halftime?
Amateur.
;OD
Not a chance. The Bears are a huge national draw and Manning is also. This will be the biggest draw in ten years.
Don't you dare. With that record pick the Colts!!! 8^)
Bears have the Gator Factor in their favor: Grossman, Alex Brown, Todd Johnson, Ian Scott,Devin Hester (I'm making him an Honorary Gator for the occasion),
Urlacher is extremely overrated. If he has more than 5 tackles in the game I'll be surprised. He had 4 in the rout of the Saints. I do think Grossman will perform better than advertised.
