Championship Sunday Prediction Thread

Let's here em'

Ok I predict for the NFC Title Game, Redskins 30 Bears (oh wait that was just in my dreams)

NFC:
Bears over Saints 24-17. I think the Bears will thrive on the "us vs. The World" type thing thats going on. Unless you're a bears fan, you're rooting for the Saints most likley, but I think the Bears pull it out.

AFC:
Colts over Pats 21-20. Part of me still think NE wins...and if the Colts dont win this year, they never will.

NFC:
Saints over Bears in a touchdown difference game. The Bears D over the last 5 weeks has given up 26 PPG, that going against the #1 offense sounds like trouble!

AFC:
Colts DOMINATE the patriots and win by 21+. I know this is a bold prediction, but the Colts have a reputation to beat. At the RCA dome they'll crush the pats and get rid of that whole Brady/Bellichek monkey on their way to winning the Super bowl! I should also mention that Tom Brady has been nothing more than average for most of this year, and he can't turn the ball over like he has vs Indy. Peytons throws for 350!

The Bears defense has been playing poorly of late, but the Saints defense is even worse. Special teams might mean a lot in this game, and the Bears sport the pro bowl Kicker and Kick Returner. I think both QBs will play well, but ultimately this game will be controlled by defense and special teams. Bears in a squeaker.

A lot more media heads are taking the Colts in this game then I would think. To me, that's a red flag. I'm going to choose to ignore it. The Colts finally get the Patriots at home, and barring a defensive breakdown, should control this game. I'm taking the Colts.

Da Bears in a crushing defeat over the Saints. I see them scoring in all facets of the game: Defense, Special Teams, and Offense. The Saints will barely be able to move the ball at all. 28-3

My heart really wants a Bears versus Pats rematch but my stomach will revolt in Spartacusian fashion. The Colts have a better offense than the Chargers and their Defense is playing respectable (so far). I think they beat the Pats by about 10. Let's say 24-10

What better Super Bowl to have than a gritty, tough NFC defense versus a high-flying, efficient AFC offense? Just like the good ole days!

wolfeskins · 01-20-2007, 02:20 PM

saints will destroy the bears........34 to 10
colts will beat pats........27 to 24

highest scoring superbowl ever
colts beat saints........51 to 49

Crat92 · 01-20-2007, 02:39 PM

Bears will win 24-13. Saints play in a dome. We all know how dome teams fair outside of the controlled climate. It'll be 30 degrees and snowing by game time. The "hawk"(wind) will definitely be out on sunday.

Colts will win 27-21. Peyton finally beats Brady in the big game to get the "monkey" off his back.

Bears 27 Saints 17
Colts 27 Patriots 24

ncskinsfanec · 01-20-2007, 03:18 PM

I say,

Colts over Pats
Bears over Saints

RobH4413 · 01-20-2007, 03:26 PM

INDY - NE is a defensive struggle.

Teams boths start out looking like crap, ends 23 - 17 with INDY starting slow finding their groove in the 2nd half.

CHI - NO

Chicago (Grossman) doesn't show up. NO wins 21-6.

GTripp0012 · 01-20-2007, 05:17 PM

Can I make a prediction that the Bears-Saints game will be decided by the officials? Am I allowed to do that?

Warpath · 01-20-2007, 05:37 PM

Im honestly surprised that all of you picked the Colts. Its really hard to bet against Belichick and Brady. I think they are 11-1 in the playoffs together and they always find a way to win even on the road. I honestly picked the Chargers last week, but now think its an impossibility to bet against the Pats. They always seem to have Indys number in the playoffs.
Patriots 28 Colts 24

The Saints are the #1 Offense in the league but are playing in Chicago. If Grossman showed any kind of consistentcy I'd have to go with the Bears, but since he can't do that I can't either. It will be tight game until late in the second half when the Saints pull away.
Saints 21 Bears 13

Im sure there will be a superbowl prediction thread so until then, I'll keep my picks to myself. Plus if Im wrong I get to start over.

Well, the Colts-Pats game strikes me as one that will be decided in a way by luck. Which way will the close calls go, which way will the ball bounce, who will screw up in crucial situaitons? I really don't think theres a wrong pick here and I'm equally surprised as you that everyone in the world is taking the Colts.

If the Colts win, it will be all like "How could you bet against the Colts at home." If the Pats win, its all about "How could you bet against Brady/Belichick in the playoffs". It just seems like a game where the fan is always wrong.

Thusfar my friend, I'd say you're right.

I was salivating to be the first to bring about these points exactly, but you beat me to it.

My numbers are a bit different, though...

Pats 38 Colts 24

The patriots can change their identity on a whim and look like a completely different team one week to the next. They will dominate the colt's defense.

Saints 28 Bears 24 This one was my iffy one, because the saints kinda squeaked it out against the eagles at home, but every time I've bet against them this year I lost. Go Saints!!

I'll admit I wasn't even in the ballpark.
