I'd be very surprised if both road teams won.

colts over patriots
saints over bears

saints win the superbowl
(so far i got every prediction right except for the chargers game,, what a shame)

saints over da bears-24-21(bears had the league's easiest schedule)
colts 38-24 over the patriots
(i think that the league is hoping for a saints/colts matchup because of the katrina angle/the saints being payton's fave team
as a little boy.)

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.

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!!

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.

Chicago 20 New Orleans 17

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.

New England 29 Indianapolis 27

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

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.
