Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Indy: 31-13

well i dont like either team to be honest but i say the bears 21-24. They look good this year blus i bet 5$ with my friend  :hihi: i won 25$ of his ass last year on my team the Steelers and another 5$ from a teacher.
All together i won $45 from friends teachers and relatives.  :hihi:


 :peace:

I personally would like to see the bears win but i wouldn't be upset if indy won either.

Indy wins 27- 17

i've never had less of a gut feeling about a game than i do this one. i have no guess as to what will happen.

there's too many variables at play that could quickly change the course of the game....

1. will the colts be able to sustain drives against the great bears D?
2. will grossman turn the ball over 3 times?
3. will peyton choke?
4. where the hell is marvin harrison?
5. will heston make a game changing return?
6. will the bears D score a TD?

for me, this is just a tough game to predict. but gun to my head, i'd say Colts win 23-9.

Grossman has been wildly inconsistent this season.  His single-game passer rating has been, week by week, 98.6, 148.0, 64.9, 100.5, 101.2, 10.2, 137.4, 36.8, 105.7, 81.4, 23.7, 1.3, 114.4, 104.3, 80.4, 0.0. Total: 73.9, 24th in the NFL.

73.9 is shit.  I don't know of many QB's who have had a passer rating that low and been a starter in the Super Bowl.  If Grossman has a 100+ rating week, the Bears will win. If he's his mediocre self (which he has been all season, just not in a single week), it'll be close. If he shits the bed, as we all see he is capable of, give it to the Colts.  Considering he's been good in the playoffs, it's about time for one of those weeks where he shits the bed.

The Bears' D will keep it close, but Indy's D is no slouch either.  As long as they can stop the run when Grossman's arm falls off, they'll have an advantage.  Their high-powered offense will be able to win it over the Bears' low-powered offense against their slightly-above-average defense.

Colts 24-17. Grossman will be average, not enough to make a difference, with the MVP going to some unknown. Names like Larry Brown and Dexter Jackson have been no-name defensive players to come out of nowhere to take the MVP, and I think this year will be the same. Either Cato June or Antoine Bethea is my call.

SO MANY VARIABLES.


will manning step up to the plate? will indy's D continue to play hot? will Chicago's D perform? which Grossman will show?

i dunno should be interesting to see anyway :peace:

i pick indy by 4...indy needs to get the first score though to put grossman in the catchup game early

i was kinda hoping the patriots were gonna win, im not really bothered who wins now, just hope its a good close exciting game

Colts...The only reason I'm paying attention is because my buddys got $250 on it

The Colts.  As Dungy has said, it's their time.

The following numbers are based on an average from the prior 40 Superbowls:

The winner of the Superbowl averaged 250 points against for the season
The loser of the Superbowl averaged 280 points against for the season

Only 2 teams averaging at least 320 points against for the season have ever made it to the Superbowl
The Colts this season allowed 360 points against this season...

Defense wins championships

So my prediction... Da Bears

Indianapolis has my prayers

I dont think people realize that Grossman has been as good if not better than manning in the playoffs.


I hope the Colts win but the team with the best D usually does.


Depends really on turnovers and if the Colts D can stop the Bears Running game.

If the Colts stop Jones and Benson they will win.

^very true D .... manning has been very spotty this playoffs, but grossman's inconsistancy all season is a big concern for many....

Indy d has been stepping up as is their special teams and running game....those areas need to remain hot and manning needs to get back to himself if colts are gonna win on sunday.

Da Bears...simply because nobody else is...combined with the fact it will likely resurrect "The SuperBowl Shuffle".

Nothing like McMahon and the Fridge gettin jiggy wit it.

I know jack shit about football....but....

Now I have a reason to stay up till 4 am monday morning. I've just placed a 50? bet for the Bears to win (I know the Colts are favorites) but what the hell? It's more fun to pull for the underdog.

Go BEARS!!

I do have a feeling that Manning is gonna go Steve Young on the Bears and complete around 80 percent of his passes.


Ignatius, I think u made a bad bet and I will tell u why.


In the regular Season the Bears won 11 of their games against NON Playoff teams.


They only went 1-2 against the AFC and they lost to New England 17-13 and the other two games were against horrible AFC Teams.

The bears are without their best Defensive Linemen in Tommie Harris, without their best secondary player in Mike Brown and The Bears play a Cover Two and Peyton is SUPER Familiar with that defense, so Pre Snap read he is gonna know exactly what the Bears are doing and where they are.

Translation:

Manning should be able to pick apart the Bears Defense who are great but have padded their stats against the horrible teams in the NFC.

Go Colts!  : ok:

I'm picking the Colts...final score 30 to 10.  Who here is having pizza today????  I know I am!   :beer:

Pizza, deffinetly.

Colts, deffinetly.

EFISH cannot lose 100 dollars.  :no:

Defense does win championships, thats been proven over and over the past few years with sick defenses like the Ravens, Buccaneers, New England, and of course the Steelers.....but there are always exceptions to the rule

i still think this is Manning's year and i dont like Grossman. i think the Colts are going to destroy them.

Efish, are you giving 6 1/2 or 7 points???  That could make a difference, even though I think the Colts should have a cake-walk.  D's earlier post highlights the reasons the Colts should win big. 

6/12 spread.

Then I also have a bet for some GNR memorobilia, just whoever wins no spread.  ;D

I love finding the suckers willing to bet with no spread.  :yes:  Enjoy the game!

I'm just really looking forward to Prince for halftime.   :hihi: :hihi: :P ::)


You too bro.  :)

U are damn right I am having Pizza today!

Of course I am gonna go run 5 miles first to help burn some of my Super Cheat day on Super Bowl Sunday off! :hihi: :hihi:

U do realize Prince is the greatest musician of our lifetime right?

Watch, listen and learn something E.

I'll let ya know what I think after halftime.  ;D

Off to a super bowl party for the evening...enjoy the game, everybody (especially the halftime show!)

my guess is: Colts 30 - 25 Bears

am roooting for the bears...am normaly a RAMS fan but mah lol am slightly scared that iam looking forward to The artist formaly known as the artist formaly known as prince lol

Fuck that!  :rant:

everyone i know is going for the colts so im going for the bears

bears ftw

Colts - 16
Bears - 14

6:03 left in the first half of play.  : ok:

Benson's out!  Colts hold on 4th down!  16-14 Indy!  EFISH will win his bets!   :beer:

i think i lost $10? :crying: :'( :-[ :-X :P



 :rant: :rant: FUCK :rant: :rant:

Wooooooooohooooooo!  :D

My prediction was close to the real score, and for the first time in many years I actually picked the winner. Efish--way to go, you did not lose any money! :beer:

 :o

Pretty close big guy!

I Ha ve won two straight Football Pick Em Games on the sports forum I post at.


We start at the beginning of the season picking winners and keep standings.

I made it to the Super Bowl again and Won for the 2nd straight year.


I am like Brandon Lang on "Two For The Money"  :hihi:


Wish I had put a couple hundred on the Colts. : ok:

Prince was pretty good at the halftime show, I have no fuckin clue why he played so many cover songs, That had me puzzled.

The sound wasnt real great either, U could tell the rain messed up their soundcheck. I am just glad no one fell or anything.


Prince did sing well and rip on the guitar, so I was pleased. just wish he hadnt played so many covers.

Think he olayed the cover cause they suited the situation better then some of his own stuff does. Prince 's songs are fucking great but not very sport anthemin.


glad tony and the colts won . Good god Grossman played about as shit as any QB in the super bowl could play.

Prince was OK.

I was hoping the Colts would lose, but it is nice to see that Tony got a ring as a coach.


And Grossman had a horrible superbowl, but people forget it was only his (i think) 24th career start. He has played eratic all year, showing spots of greatness followed by horriffic play. Much like a young rookie quarterback. Unlike everyone else in the world I belive the verdict is still out on Grossman. He may still develop to be a decent quarteback. I'm anxious to see how he performs next year in what may be only his second full season. That is if he can stay healthy. I think some of the problems he has can be attributed to lack of experience. But only time will tell.? :smoking:

i loved prince something i was very shoked at....i loved his covers and his guitar was spiggin awsome! a was sat in bed watching when he started best of you i was like :S thats not prince lol

Too bad...

I only watched the first quarter and went to bed...confident.

When I woke up this morning, I read the bad news. Now I know better not to bet anymore money on football  :(

U should've listened to me. : ok:

What did you expect? That was  his  record.

Congratulations to the Indianapolis Colts in their Superbowl win!  :beer:

that was one of the craziest games i've seen.

one thing that shocked me and i didn't really consider....indy's ability to run the ball. that was the key, and totally unexpected. although i do think the bears offense shares the blame for not giving the D any rest.

and as it turned out, it was the colts D that ended up scoring a TD.
