I'm curious to see where everyone in here stands on this game.

A bit early, however if I was to place now it would be

Chicago +7.5 (buying the hook)
Chicago ML

Gut instinct is to tease Chicago and the Over.

Definitely the Bears +7, mainly because of the defense. I'd consider buying the hook, but I don't think it'll be necessary. May also place a smaller ML wager on Chicago.

100% because of the trends and stat systems leaning towards the bears. i will be betting small % though.

Imrightalot, you reminded me of something: My bet will be no more than 2 percent of BR. From a wagering standpoint, the Super Bowl is no more important than a Big 12 basketball game in mid-February. I just don't want to be regretting a huge wager on the SB if I happen to be wrong (which I am about 45 percent of the time). GLTA.

but i think either way wether you have a lean one way or the other betting more than you should will end up making the game no longer fun to watch.

Bears

Colts.

Bears and their rag tag qb will be exposed against a well balanced team. Indy gets em down and bears have to depend on grossman. Party's over boys. Super Bowls are all about the QB's. Dont buy into the chicago D. They are waaaaay overrated.

I like the Colts to win, but I don't know about winning by 7.

Tough call, like the bears but if they get behind watch out, could get ugly, rex has played ok and has fortunately not been behind in either playoff game and we know what can happen if they get behind, close your eyes.

Simulations have Colts 27 & Bears 23.

Chance of success for current best price (SBR A rated books) teased at 7pts are.....
CHI +14 75%
IND pk 60%
CHI/IND 41.5o 74.7%
CHI/IND 56.5u 70.4%

I will start my action with.....

CHI +14 & IND/CHI 41.5o -130 (7pt T) BetCris 1:30am pst

the bears defense isn't what it was earlier in the season. and playing against the colts high powered offense, in which i see peyton getting it done and also manning getting the mvp in the big dance also. so my pick, without a doubt is the colts
everyone have a great new year here on the forum, and win lots of benjamins, daddydan

With Christ himself (Peyton Manning) quarterbacking, they may as well just give him the MVP now. Unless he completely shoots himself in the foot, I think he gets the award.

Having said that, I will be on the Bears on the SB, unless other info I haven't seen comes up. Both SU and ATS

i don't care a/b trends or #'s, i can't see the colts losing this game & think they cover this #.

Number 34 will be watching over this game and once again, he will not allow another Peyton to defeat his beloved BEARS.

DIVINE INTERVENTION will play a big part in this game.

LOL

This is my very early pick for SB: Mr. Manning and the Colts.
I reserve the possibility of changing it once I hear of Sister Jean Kenny's selection for the SB. I will be reading the USA Today assiduously and hope the paper presents Sister Jean's selection.
WHY Colts??? 1. Their Offense is flexible and versatile (can have a mix of run/pass and be effective...does not rely on Manning's arm and just a predominant pass attack).
2. QB, the most important key position, Manning is far more superior, experienced, and consistent than Grossman
3. Bear defense is good but i think Colt offense has edge. Colts D is much maligned and underrated. Their D team speed can and will offset the Bears offensive line's power. ..at least i'm counting on it to contain Bear running attack to the extent that more burden is placed on Grossman's throwing ability.
4. Colts' play against the NE showed me something: Colts' resilience, speed to offset lack of power/size, confidence, perseverance. Colts played a very tough, difficult game against disciplined, Super Bowl-experienced NE team, and could have easily lost it; Colts were seriously tested and they overcame w/good focus, determination, playmaking; in short, thought Colts played better in their AFC game against NE than the performance of the Bears against Saints in NFC game.
5. Colts hail from the better/tougher conference AFC.
6. I think its "Mannings Time"

Earlier Post:
"Sister Jean Kenny 7-3 in playoffs so far...
Who will Sister Jean select for Super Bowl???

Did not see any major injury in the NFC/AFC championship games. 2 week rest before Super Bowl.

This is very early. But my choice is "Mr. Manning and the COLTS". Hope Sister Jean agrees."

Hope you are going to recap the results of the selections by Forum members as we getting closer to Super Bowl Sunday...

GL Dude.

i think i will be teasing the colts down to even and the over to 42

i like this play alot, i might even tease the colts and the bears

What do you mean?
