So, we're finally here: Super Bowl 41 is less than 24 hours away, and 2 weeks of breakdowns, panel discussions, and human interest stories will be wittled down to a 3 hour game with a much longer pre-game show. But, alas, that is the current state of the NFL Championship Game, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Colts (7) vs. Bears = The league's most talented quarterback against one of the league's best defences. The first two African-American head coaches to lead their teams to the Super Bowl. Great running game against a weak run defence. Can Peyton Manning win the big one? Will Rex Grossman be the worst quarterback to win the Super Bowl? Or will a win by Chicago take away all of his critics once and for all?
Blah Blah Blah.
The fact is Indianapolis is a better team, and, even with the Bears' strong defence, Peyton Manning has the ability and the help around him to defeat it. On the other side, the Colts' fantastic pass rush will knock Rex Grossman around to the point where he will be forced to rush his throws. If Chicago runs the ball virtually every down, they have a chance. But if they do, it will be a dull game. Indy scores early and forces a shootout, which Chicago cannot compete with.
All that said, I'd take the points here.
Colts 31-27. Bears to cover.
Playoff record: 7-3 (against spread)
