Craigers Superbowl selection
Now before you go racing to the windows or your online site to throw your money on the Bears, lets reason with why this line is so high. Most people seem to think that even betting the moneyline on the Bears is a good thing. If you do, then I have some swamp land in China i would like to sell you.
The Bears are a team that is very lucky to be there. They have under performed much of the last part of this season. They were also extremely lucky against the woeful Cardinals, just ask Dennis Green "THEY WERE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE, AND WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK!!!" Now let me translate the "They were who they thought they were" blast. What he meant was "I know this team (Bears) are not that good, they are beatable by any team in the NFL who can show up and play a half way decent game, even by our suck ass team" So telling, oh so telling. Now lets bring in the Green Bay game where Rex Grossman admitted he didnt prepare for the game. If you believe that, then I also have a bridge at the Santa Monica Beach I would like to sell you. There were some un named players on the Bears who feel that he did prepare, he just got his ass kicked and couldn't admidt it because he was gripping for his job, so he goes and makes things worse by saying what he said. What a moron. I sure can't put my money on a guy like that in a big game like this. In short, the Bears just aren't a good Superbowl team, sorry Bear fans, but the truth is the truth.
Indianapolis Colts, sure, have not exactly had a bang up year themselves, especially on run defense. However, they have improved and Dungy has busted their asses to make it even better. They had some missed assignments and some confusion but they seem to have most of that cleared up. Offensively, well, you have the best QB in football who has been in some big games, and finally, won a big game. He's more pumped up than Secretariat was before he won the Belmont by 31 lengths. No way he loses this.
Now the big question. Why is the line so high? Well, its because sometimes you just have to throw the regular season numbers out and see the game for what it is. A good team playing, at best, an average team. A good team that will put up at least 28-31 points up, against a team that would probably be doing back flips if it can manage 21. Thats why.
Play the Indianapolis Colts -7. Enjoy the game, I know I will. I have a tee time in San Diego that morning and will watch the game with some ice cold beer at a party afterwards. GL folks.

In which area is Indy DOMINANT? I couldn't find one
Passing Offense, their defense has played better this postseason then Chicagos.
How come everyone says Chicago has this dominent defense? Havnt they average giving up 26 pts the last 7 weeks?
Yeah Hester could break one but id be more worried about his 6 muffs the last 4 games.
Craiger, how come you didnt buy it down to 6.5? GL
