I am going with the Pats and the Saints

Brady is too good in the playoffs 12 - 1 career record
Manning's record well that's another story

Grossman how he ever got a job in the NFL i'll never know
Brees is having the best season of his career

TheoCryst · Jan 20, 2007, 02:45 PM

I'm still holding out for an Eagles victory!

Jawbone54 · Jan 20, 2007, 03:02 PM

Colts/Saints

I would be happy with either team winning. Peyton and Marvin would finally get their Super Bowl, and Drew Brees could SHOVE IT IN THE CHARGERS' FACES!!!

Colts - Saints

- Hate the Patriots with every being possible.

- The Saints actually look like a better team than the Bears. The Bears are still overrated, IMO, and have been the last 4 years.

gofridge · Jan 20, 2007, 04:30 PM

Bears/Bears

gofridge sees the Bears winning the AFC Championship in addition to the NFC Championship. gofridge knows that isn't possible, but gofridge believes the Bears will be able to do it anyway.

Ghoser777 · Jan 20, 2007, 04:57 PM

Bears - it's odd being considered the underdog in this game by pretty much everyone. Everyone in Chicago is freaked out about tomorrow's game.

nredman · Jan 20, 2007, 05:56 PM

well i was 4 out of 4 last week -

i got lucky

i'd say

Colts & Saints

Gotta root for another Manning meltdown.

turtle777 · Jan 20, 2007, 06:25 PM

Colts / Saints for me as well.

lavar78 · Jan 20, 2007, 07:34 PM

This is a bit anticlimactic since 3 out of 4 teams I wanted to win lost. I'll go with the Colts as the sentimental/this-is-your-best-shot pick. The other side is a toss-up, but I think the Saints may be a little better.

TailsToo · Jan 20, 2007, 08:02 PM

I gotta hope the Saints win it all... it's their fault that my Eagles didn't lose their 4th NFC Championship in 6 Years.

rickey939 · Jan 20, 2007, 08:07 PM

Pats/Bears.

paul w · Jan 20, 2007, 08:07 PM

Somehow I see it being Chicago and the Colts winning. I'd love for the Saints to pull off an upset but I don't see it happening. As much as we all love the feel good story, winning a playoff game on the road, in the cold isn't something they've shown they can do yet.

I actually think the Patriots have the better shot as the road dog.

davesimondotcom · Jan 20, 2007, 08:09 PM

I think this is the year the Colts finally get to the Super Bowl.

But I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Go Saints!

turtle777 · Jan 20, 2007, 08:09 PM

Bears vs. Colts as Superbowl game would be amazing. The people in Indiana and Illinois would go nuts.

Sourbook · Jan 20, 2007, 08:19 PM

I was 2 for 4 last week so I'll stick with my two winners for this week. Colts / Bears

gofridge wants the Saints to lose for the same reason TailsToo wants the Saints to win.

And because gofridge is also a Bears fan.

turtle777 · Jan 20, 2007, 08:33 PM

gofridge better be prepared for the Colts to beat the Bears in the Superbowl.

Dakar² · Jan 20, 2007, 08:37 PM

Also, it's 'picks'

gofridge does not see how that is possible. gofridge predicted that the Bears would win the AFC Championship. That means the Colts will not be in the Super Bowl.

CreepDogg · Jan 21, 2007, 01:18 AM

The Saints are nervous about Sunday's game, so they hire Ditka as GM. Ditka trades the entire Saints team to Canada for Ricky Williams. Then he trades himself to the Bears for a wig of Dreadlocks. All the Bears are snowed-in on Sunday, and the only one that makes it to the stadium is Ditka.

Ditka 31, Ricky Williams 13

DAAAAA BEARSSSSS!

Oh, and Colts - 31-22

Jawbone54 · Jan 21, 2007, 02:01 AM

I could resist no longer....

Daaaaaaaaaaa Bears!

himself · Jan 21, 2007, 06:47 PM

The Bears are serving it up to Saints right now... hope ya'll don't have any money on them.

The Bears defense is sick! and the snow is falling on cue.

turtle777 · Jan 21, 2007, 06:55 PM

The Bears will not beat either the Pats nor the Colts. Fact.

Ghoser777 · Jan 21, 2007, 07:13 PM

It's nice to see all the ESPN experts were wrong on the Bears game.

That is what they said about the Bears beating the Saints.......'sup?

exca1ibur · Jan 21, 2007, 07:17 PM

When the turnovers don't go your way... there is no expert factor, you usually lose the game. Simple as that. Oh well another team lost of me. Hopefully the Colts get the job done, and take it all.

I like being the underdog.

"When turnovers don't go your way..." Ha! The Bears forced every turnover the Saints made. That's pure defense baby! And Rex was solid, and is holding up under the post-season pressure thus far.

Rex was not solid. This game was won by the Bears defense.

brassplayersrock² · Jan 21, 2007, 07:32 PM

da bears!!!!!!!!!!!! thats right!! they kicked ass!!!!

Ghoser777 · Jan 21, 2007, 07:34 PM

Rex did exactly what he was supposed to:

1) Don't turn over the ball
2) Throw away the ball if there's nothing there
3) Take what the defense gives you
4) Make big plays when we need it

He wasn't spectacular, I'll grant you that, but he committed no turnovers, made a number of key plays throughout the game, and made some good adjustments when the Saints stepped up their defense in the 3rd quarter. And he worked with what the defense gave him. I'd call that solid.

turtle777 · Jan 21, 2007, 07:51 PM

I don't. But we'll see how he does in the Superbowl. With a defense like that, it might be enough. I doubt it though.

imitchellg5 · Jan 21, 2007, 07:55 PM

Grrr, it's gonna be the Bears and the Patriots, my 2nd and 3rd least favorite teams after the Broncos.

C'mon. No quarterback is going to be perfect. No turnovers, no costly errors, and he moved the offense up the field. He did what he was supposed to do. I guess we'll just have to disagree on what "solid" is.

You are a little full of yourself there I see, or is it something else?

Dont' try to read between the lines I said exactly that. ANY team with the most turnovers doesn't win. How they happen, doesn't matter. The fact is, they had more turnovers and lost, period.

rickey939 · Jan 21, 2007, 08:48 PM

Wow, is Peyton Manning the biggest choke artist in NFL history or what?

Jawbone54 · Jan 21, 2007, 08:59 PM

Rex was SOLID. That's a matter of very simple observation.

shifuimam · Jan 21, 2007, 09:22 PM

Colts colts colts.

I've been living in Indianapolis since I was 2, and while I usually don't give a rat's tushie about football, the Colts came this close to making it to the Super Bowl last year with their 13-0 run before they completely choked at the AFC championship.

We're watching right now on my boyfriend's new Sony HDTV (sports look amazing in HD, btw), and it's not looking too good.

Damn.

Yes, compared to manning.

What's up with the Colts receivers ? They are playing like girls.

nredman · Jan 21, 2007, 09:49 PM

well i picked the first game wrong and if peyton doesnt pull his team together i will be 0 for 2

turtle777 · Jan 21, 2007, 10:00 PM

21 : 21

18 unanswered points.

Amazing 3rd quarter for the Colts. The Pats are just sleeping through it.

himself · Jan 21, 2007, 10:02 PM

Indy just tied it on a 2-point conversion. This one is good.

shifuimam · Jan 21, 2007, 11:04 PM

34 to 31, 2:17 left in the game

Oh my God oh my God oh my God...
