tex, are you saying that the bears have not faced a well balanced team yet? I too agree that the bears are a joke and yet they just keep winning. It's said that god watches over fools and children, and the bears are both, but they just keep winning. If the superbowl is all about the QB, how did the steelers win last year? Is Roethlessburger a better QB than Hasselpuke? I don't think any stretch of the imagination can make that conclusion, but the seahawks lost convincingly.
Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
The Bears defense isn't going to allow Peyton to sit in the pocket and throw at will. It's gonna be a busy day for Mr. Manning. I think it's gonna be a lot like that Rams/Patriots Super Bowl--the Bears physical defense against the Colts finesse offense.
Patriots were one first down away from victory, despite the fact that their defensive line was beat up, their linebackers are old, had no ground game and their receivers are average at best. Bears win with superior ground game, defense and special teams.
2-Team Parlay:
Bears +7.5 (bought .5 hook)
Under 49.5 (bought 1.5 hook)
100 pays 197
My insurance play:
7-point 2-team teaser
Bears +14
Under 55
Keep In Mind:
-The weather will be windy and the field will be damp and muddy. This will breed a defensive battle and lots of FG attempts, not long-bomb touchdown passes.
-Da Bears know the key to victory will be to keep the ball out of Manning's hands. I expect to see a good mix of run plays along with safer mid-range passes to big targets like Muhammed and Desmond Clark. Bears will look to eat up clock and keep Payton off the field.
i took the colts and 1st half under. seeing that most of you guys are on the bears makes me very nervous. good luck to all and have a very good superbowl.
