Super Bowl Prediction

The Bears are seven-point underdogs.

That said, I believe the Colts won't cover the spread. Why? Because the Bears are going to win outright!

I think the Bears will be able to penetrate the Colts defense with little resistance once the Colts start to tire in the fourth quarter. Now, I'm not saying it's going to be a complete spanking. But under the skillfull coaching of Lovie Smith, a former defensive coordinator, the Bears should be able to harness a game plan that should put them on top.

But it will be a good game. Both teams have good ball-handling skills. Both teams have wide receivers with great hands and a deft touch. Both teams have running backs who can really burst through once the offensive line gives them a nice hole.

And both teams have quarterbacks with enough experience taking the snap from center in sticky situations, though they've probably never done it before with 100 million people watching.

PREDICTION: Bears win by a hair after the backup kicker's last-second field goal gloriously splits the uprights.

Go Bears!





I'm going to be celebrating
in the streets of Chicago once
the Bears win, and certainly won't
be online to respond to the deserved ridicule
of Colts fans should
I be wrong.
