Although I no longer have a dog in the fight, my Cowboys are home playing golf, cutting new rap CDs or what ever it is NFL players do in the off season, there are two very interesting games coming up Sunday.
First lets look at the Patriots, Colts game. There so many backstories to this game that it looks like a television show season ending cliffhanger. Will good guy, boy scout, milk drinking, 6 foot five, 230 pound quarterback with a laser-rocket arm, Payton Manning, finally get over the hump and reach the Superbowl? Will Tom Brady, the best crunch time, gotta have it, last second, 4th down 90 yards to go quarterback of our time break the Colts heart one more time, or is this the year that the gritty Patriots loose to the better team? Will the game come down to a last second field goal with the Superbowl bid on the line? Will Adam Vinateri, the Colts new free agent kicker, who just happens to wear three Patriot Superbowl rings, put the Colts over the top against his old team? My prediction; Colts 33 Pats 20.
Over in the NFC, Cinderella wears black and has a bit of Bourbon on her breath. The New Orleans Saints have come from a 3 and 13 season last year to being a win away from the Super bowl. Drew Brees, Duece McAllister and rookie sensation Reggie Bush have brought a swagger to a team and some home grown pride back to New Orleans. Chicago on the other hand seems like a bad soap opera. The teams wins, the quarterback plays great, then lousy, then great, then just well enough to win. The Bears defense is outstanding as usual, but will Rex Grossman be taking Chicago to the Superbowl, or will he fitted for a pair of cement shoes and a one way trip to Lake Michigan? My prediction; Saints 24 Bears 17.
Please feel free to comment on Sunday night and flame me for these pick, because if my teams win, you know I will be gloating, big time.
