I say Bears vs Patriots. Bears winning 28-24 |
i share many of your opinions. i think that the tom brady bill belichek combo will be too much. either the colts defense will come back down to earth or peyton will suck again. dont count on both, but one will happen and the pats will win
in the NFC:
my off the wall(maybe) prediction is that Reggie bush will be lucky to escape with less turnovers than grossman. the bears D will be pissed that they let a pansy run all over them and didn't even jack him up once and take it out on reggie bush who will be freezing.
the wind will eliminate the dominance of any passing game(especially a dome team) and Deuce McAlister is the only one that scares me. either he will be freezing and run for less than 50 yards, or he'll go for over 150 with 2 TDs while Jones runs for 100 and a TD, Benson runs for 80 and a TD and Peterson runs for practically no yards but a TD.
i'd love to see packages with Mc Kie(or Gabe Reid im not sure about McKie's status for the game) and any combination of Jones, Benson, and Peterson(2 of them) and Berrian and Bradley(if he plays, his ankle got bent pretty weird on Sunday) as the wideouts. that would not necessarily produce big plays through the air, but it would open up the run game while having guys in to block on the run, and have enough guys to send a checkdown guy and have 7 blockers to give Rex a nice pocket and the recievers time to get open. plus the saints would not expect it. i can see it now, Bradley streaking down the sideline, Berrian running a deep in, Benson 4 yards downfield and if not needed to block Jones drifting off to the side opposite Benson. all this set up by mixing carries for Jones and Benson, 2 different style running backs. Ron wouldnt even have to get too creative for that to work
I almost forgot to post my Super Bowl prediction. If good Rex shows up, which he will Bears 21-17, led by another 5 fumble game.(technically there were 3 fumbles and 2 INTs, but i cant call the INTs INTs. one the reciever caught the ball and popped it up the the bears and the other bounced off the reciever's shoulder) maybe ill post a more in depth prediction when the game gets closer
NVR, the Colts got lucky against the Ravens. there is no other word than lucky. they will be back down to earth soon
