Super Bowl XLI Predictions: Colts vs. Bears
Ok, America, Super Bowl XLI is upon us, and I am ready to make my picks. First of all, let me say that the NFC Champion Chicago Bears and AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts are both very good football teams who both deserve to be here. Both teams have got here for different reasons. The Bears have gotten to the Super Bowl with defense, but also with a suddenly strong offense. The Colts on the other hand have relied on offense the whole year, and yet as of late, seem to have been winning with defense. Both teams have their stars, their studs, and go to guys who they can rely on in crunch time, and so I find it to be fitting to start out right up front and adress who these guys got that are so deadly.
First off, let me start out with the Chicago Bears. On the offensive side of the ball, they have a great WR in Muhsin Muhammad and two great running backs in Cedric Benson and Thomas Jones. These three guys on every play make the Bears offense go, and if QB Rex Grossman isn't playing like a decapitated chicken, this team can put up points. Plus, they got a solid kicker in Robbie Gould who should be reckoned with. On the defensive side of the ball, they got Brian Urlacher and a killer defensive line lead by Tank Johnson who likes getting fire arms inside his house to piss off the police. Any way, this Bears defense is the heart and sould of this Bears team, and one of the greatest friends of this Bears defense is Kick Returner/Punt Returner Devin Hester who has set the single season record with 6 returns for Touchdowns over the year via Field Goal Returns, Punt Returns, and Kick Returns. Devin Hester is a beast, and he could play a huge factor in this game. On top of the offensive weapons and the scary defense, they have a great coach in Lovie Smith who has prepared his team every week to go out and kick ass every week. The coaching in Chicago is very good.
As for the Colts, their whole shindig relies on the offense, and especially on superstud QB Peyton Manning who is the rock of this teams salvation. He has to play well in order for the Colts to beat the Bears. He needs a big day, and I expect a big day out of Peyton Manning tommorow. As for who assists him on offense are fellow Wide Outs Reggie Wayne, and Marvin Harrison who are both studs and death. TE Dallas Clark is also a force to be recond with as he has demolished teams across the league. The running game with Joseph Addai and Dominic Rhodes is also pretty strong, but the real weapon in this Colt offense is the foot of all-star kicker Adam Vinatieri. This little italian can kick. He's got 3 superbowl rings, and his experience could prove to be key for this team. As for the defense, it has been crappy over the season, but as of late has looked pretty good. With Dwight Freeney at DE leading the charge, the Colts defense has been on some sort of resurgence. Beating the Chiefs with defense, and then the Baltimore Ravens (who are all defense) with defense in a 15-6 kicking fest. The defense has looked pretty good in the playoffs and I think it can cause problems for the Bears offense and their defenseless QB Rex Grossman. Grossman is inexperienced and has loooked shaky all year and I expect the Colts defense to kick him like a can. Plus, they have a great coach in Tony Dungy who I expect to have prepared his team very well.
All in all, I like the Colts in this game beacause they have a better QB in Peyton Manning, and an overall offensive squad. Plus, the DEFENSE in Indy has stepped up lately and I think if they can beat Tom Brady and his offense, they should have a hay day against the Bears and their squirmish offense. They got a great coach, an even better kicker, and an overall sense of purpose to get a monkey off their back that has been taking its tole on not just Peyton Manning but on the whole team. I expect them to shake all those demons and win this game. My official Prediction: Colts win 35-28.
