Indianapolis Colts(-7) over Chicago Bears ---- (Under 48)
The AFC has won 7of the past 9 Lombardi trophies and that trend should continue this year. Let's face it, the AFC is superior to the NFC.
Plus, let's look at some comparisons between these two teams....
During the 2006 season, the Bears were 2-2 against AFC opponents, while the Colts were 3-1 against the NFC. In addition, the Bears lost to the Miami Dolphins, whom the Colts beat once, and the New England Patriots, whom the Colts beat twice. The thing about the Colts is that they are peaking at the right time. That pathetic run defense of the Colts is not pathetic anymore. The Colts have surrendered a mere 73 rushing yards per game in their 3 playoff victories. Overall their "D", dare I say, has looked every bit as good as the Bears. Another big plus for the Colts is that they got over the playoff hump and finally find themselves in the Super Bowl. QB Manning no longer has that being held over his head and all signs point to this being the time for him to get his first Super Bowl win.
Meanwhile the Bears are an opportunistic team....some might call them lucky.
Their aggressive play on D has gotten them to this point. But their O is another matter. Grossman is simply not anywhere near the class of Manning. You all know about Rex and his up and down play the 2nd half of the season so I won't go on and on about it. But this is the biggest game in his life and just don't see him having the composure and confidence that the Bears will need. Gotta expect him to throw at least one, maybe 2 INTs, and thoseTOs will be devastating for Da Bears. If the Colts D plays like they have so far in the playoffs there will simply be a matchup between Manning and Grossman.
Nuff said.
I rarely play totals, and for good reason, but I laid a little on the Under 48 in this game.
