New Orleans at Chicago
My Pick: Chicago
Winner: Chicago
My earlier comments: "I think the battle ground of Soldier Field will be too much for the Saints - despite Bears QB Rex Grossman's likely attempts to throw the game away."
The game: The cold and snow at Soldier Field threw off the Saints much vaunted offense. They committed three fumbles and never looked comfortable. As for Rex Grossman, he went an anemic 11 for 26 for only 144 yards in the game. He missed a lot of opportunities, including three deep drives that resulted in only field goals in the first half. The defense won this game for them, not Grossman!
My Pick: Indianapolis
Winner: Indianapolis
My earlier comments: "Colts QB Payton Manning is too good not to finally step up to the plate in a playoff game."
The game: After a slow start Payton Manning caught fire in the second half throwing for a total of 349 yards and a touchdown.
In saying all of this, my preseason pick to win the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots, bowed out on Sunday with their loss to the Colts. They gave it a good run. I tip my cap to them. Not too many people thought they'd even make it this far!
Stay tuned for my Super Bowl pick!

did u see the way Peyton Manning had his head bowed in the last minute of the game? I thought Brady was going to pull another rabbit out of his hat and win the game in the last minute
