Championship Sunday Prediction Thread

[The Huddle]

As badly as I want the Saints to win, and as much as I believe that on a neutral field they really are the better team, I just can't see a team that plays in a dome going on the road and winning in Soldier Field, in January, in a conference title game. The Saints are a great story, but this is the time of year that the great stories tend to fall by the wayside.

My head tells me that, all things being equal, the Colts are slightly better, meaning they're distictly better at home. My gut tells me that Dungy and Manning are both due, that Belichick and Brady have another title coming but not this year, with this team, and that I'm about to pay dearly for all the mouthing off I've been doing in the ongoing Brady vs. Manning debate.

History talks louder than both. Show me.
