Next Week

then what probably win happen.

Go Steelers!!!!

edited - got my teams mixed up - maybe its right now

Patriots are going to win the Super Bowl. Everyone on that team could be dead and they'd still be the favorites to win the Super Bowl.

EDIT. your predictions are all ****ed up. The Patriots cannot play the redskins and the steelers cannot play the bears. NFC/AFC.

macroy · Jan 14, 2006, 02:47 PM

Your teams are still messed up.....

You have the Bears beating the 'Skins in the NFC Champ. Game... then you have the Skin's losing to the Steelers in the SB....

Man... you're tough on the 'Skins... having them lose twice in the playoffs

Albert Pujols · Jan 14, 2006, 02:54 PM

patriots cause home team, otherwise I just hope the skins lose.

far200 · Jan 14, 2006, 04:54 PM

my call will be.......for this week.........

seahawks over redskins

colts over steelers

bears over panthers

broncos over patriots

I'm with you except the Patriots may pull it off against the Broncos. That's a big maybe, though.

Dork. · Jan 14, 2006, 05:18 PM

Game 1) SEA over WASH

Game 2) NE over DEN

Game 3) IND over PIT (but PIT covers spread)

Game 4) CHI over CAR

I'll take the Over on all the games except Seattle, too....

Superbowl: IND vs. SEA, Seattle wins when Shaun Alexander goes insane and breaks a ton of records.

EDIT: I can't stand the Fox pre-game shows, for any sport. Does anyone actually care how Jimmy Johnson's hair looks this week?

Heh, I was thinking Payton would be the one breaking all sorts of records.

I thought about that -- the Super Bowl is in a dome this year, and Indy likes domes -- but I think Peyton has some big-game problems. After all, the main reason that Indy hasn't been in the Super Bowl before now is that they have trouble winning playoff games in New England. He'll beat the Patriots at home to get to the Super Bowl, but throw one or two too many interceptions in the Big Game.

I'm very familiar with big-game problems. I'm a Bills fan.

Captain Obvious · Jan 14, 2006, 05:43 PM

Bears: 126 - The rest of the NFL: 3

So you were saying "winning" meaning "going home"?

d4nth3m4n · Jan 15, 2006, 03:13 AM

i know it's a little late, but here's what i've had all along-

seahawks
pasts (grudgingly) (SO HAPPY I WAS WRONG)
bears
steelers

lavar78 · Jan 15, 2006, 10:32 AM

I picked yesterday's games correctly. The bye team has a big advantage. As for today:

Colts
Panthers

It's hard to pick the Bears/Panthers game. The Bears are a little overrated because of their offense, but the Panthers are inconsistent. Turnovers are always important, but they're going to be even bigger in that game. If the Panthers don't give the Bears short fields, they should win.

wdlove · Jan 15, 2006, 02:57 PM

Now that my Patriots are out, it no longer matters. So now there is next year.

Seattle has the same problem. You never watched a Seattle-Rams game before this did you? (They are the masters of the choke)

Agasthya · Jan 15, 2006, 04:51 PM

The Indianapolis Colts are this millenniums Buffalo Bills

Fixed.™

You're also wrong. If anything, the Eagles (my favorite) are this millennium's Bills. They have the best record of the decade, the most playoff wins, but they lost 3 straight championship games (2 as the home favorite) before getting to the Super Bowl. Even that isn't really enough, because the Bills went to four straight Super Bowls.

Agasthya · Jan 15, 2006, 05:21 PM

HAHAHAH What an awesome kick.

I'm right with you. Bucs loss was disheartening, but not unexpected.
The Colts today, well,

I give up.

congratz on the win

davesimondotcom · Jan 15, 2006, 11:22 PM

I have proof (my predictions were on Newsvine) if anyone doubts me, but I had:

Denver over New England
Pittsburgh over Indy
Carolina over Chicago
Seattle over Washington

Next week, the Denver/Pittsburgh game will be a war. I think my Broncos will win at home and head to their record 7th Super Bowl. Denver 24, Pittsburgh 17.

Seattle and Carolina will be a good game too. Steve Smith is a monster. But, assuming Shawn Alexander comes back, we'll see Seattle coming through. Seahawks 28, Panthers 21.

Super Bowl Sunday, the old AFC West division rivals Denver and Seattle will go at it with Denver winning 35-21.

How is that a record? The Cowboys have been in 8 Super Bowls.

Beating Denver at Denver is a really tall order, but it would really make my year.

Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artful Dodger · Jan 22, 2006, 05:26 PM

Steelers offense is unstoppable. i'll say it now ...it's over

Dork. · Jan 22, 2006, 05:51 PM

I hope Denver actually scores some points.... I picked the Over!

production_coordinator · Jan 22, 2006, 06:10 PM

PGH all the way!

start ringing the cash register. Denver is within 10 now so maybe there is a glimmer of hope for an exciting finish.

Dork. · Jan 22, 2006, 06:48 PM

The general consensus in my workplace this week was that if Ben started out like he did in Indy and the Steelers get a good lead, they'll win the game. He did, and it looks like they will, although they're making it interesting again in the fourth quarter.

Rev-O · Jan 22, 2006, 07:05 PM

Hahahhaahahahaha! The Broncos choke yet again, restoring my belief in God and the Baby Jebus. Thankfully, I will be spared further Broncos drivel dominating local radio and television! After a few short days of mourning (which I personally thrive on), no more discussion of the Broncos! Hooray! Thank you Pittsburg!

nredman · Jan 22, 2006, 07:49 PM

great game for the steelers - there is no stopping them now

shabbasuraj · Jan 22, 2006, 10:07 PM

I predict the Steelers win.

Okay, your year has been made.
In two weeks, your decade will be ready.

I am a happy happy man.

But i could be a wee bit happier

Go Steelers!!!!!!!!

lavar78 · Jan 30, 2006, 06:07 PM

Here's a great ESPN/Super Bowl parody from Cracked.com.

residentEvil · Jan 30, 2006, 06:17 PM

I miss living downtown

I walked to Lions and Tigers games from my loft...

However, I've made a couple trips from the 'burbs already and it is pretty fun. The only things I have planned right now are: Friday night, Kid Rock; Saturday afternoon, a few bars. I'm hosting UFC fight night Saturday night and a Super Bowl party Sunday afternoon/night so won't be down there for those times.

I have several Steeler fan friends coming in from Pitt too, but probably won't see them, even to crash for a few nights if need be; as they are just 'winging' it and will 'manage'. I'll see them at the bars Saturday afternoon, but other than that...hehehe. They are mad too I don't live downtown anymore. Oh well.

aberdeenwriter · Jan 31, 2006, 03:36 AM

Well, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Steelers. I WANT Jerome Bettis to conclude his career with a Super Bowl victory. I really admire Bill Cowher and Ben Rothlisberger is one of those QB's who come along very infrequently in a generation.

He will become one of the NFL greats. One of the legends who'll be waiting for their entry into the Hall of Fame five years after he hangs up the spikes.

Great team. Great story.

However, there is an undeniable force surrounding the Seahawks that I could mention but I don't want to jinx it. So, I'll just say this...

Seahawks will win the Super Bowl on 02-05-06.

I just say a prayer that all the players and everyone there will be safe and emerge without injury.

lavar78 · Feb 6, 2006, 06:44 AM

Without a doubt, that was the worst officiating ever in a Super Bowl. Horrible.

Gotta go along with that - pathetic job by the refs. And what's up with the ratio of Steelers to Seahawks in those Lomardi trophy spots? That was weird

yeah there were some bad calls - but the seaducks had plenty of chances to win that game. i was stressed out the whole game - when ben threw those 2 picks i was going crazy. ugly game but at least the steelers pulled it out

TailsToo · Feb 6, 2006, 11:44 PM

I think the Steelers will win it all.....
