The Super Bowl



It all comes down to this - the Super Bowl. The culmination of the NFL season in a historic game of sporting excellence. Well, it's usually interesting for at least a quarter or two.

Memorable Super Bowls have an odd way of either being close or blowouts.
On the blowout side, I remember watching the San Francisco 49ers beating the Denver Broncos 55-10 in Super Bowl XXIV. I remember the Cowboys beating the Buffalo Bills 52-17 in Super Bowl XXXVII.

Then there were the good games. The NY Giants winning thanks to a last second field goal miss by Buffalo in XXV. St. Louis beating Tennessee by stopping a touchdown on the one yard line with no time left on the clock. The great Joe Montana driving down the field at the end of the fourth quarter to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII.

This year it's the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts. That pits the Bears vaunted defence against the Colts high powered offense.

Who comes out on top? Payton Manning is just too good not to step up to the plate to win his first Super Bowl. That said, Rex Grossman is just too bad not to blow it. Both indicators point Colts.

My Prediction: Indianapolis (Score: Colts 30 - Bears 21)
My Heart Wants: Indianapolis Colts

A nice pick bro. Although, I think the Colts will win it by less than 9 points but we will see. :)
