Saints 14 @ Bears 39

	Jeremy The Bears still suck.
	Matt Mike Ditka coached both these teams.
	Jon If the Bears can't play the run any better than they did against the Seahawks then New Orleans will probably win by a ton. But I think Chicago can turn it on again. It just seems like even if they have a bad game, they're always still in a position to win. The fact that this is going to be in Chicago is a big factor in this pick.
	Sarah The Bears don't deserve this. The Saints are awesome-o and one half of the Super Bowl I wanted.
	Scott Bears have a solid defense and a very capable offense. Grossman can be so good that he carries the team on his sholders, or so bad that the rest of his team feels sorry for him and picks him up. Here's the stat: Grossman had the 2nd most games of QB ratings over 100 and an NFL high in games with a QB rating below 40. So he is simultaneously the best and worst QB in the NFL. It's kind of a nice gig, but the Bears seem to win regardless of his performance. The Saints are America's current team (America is very fairweather). The Saints have had a special season, but I think the Hollywood script will end this week. Bears 17, Saints 13.
	Alex 2 teams, 4 quality running backs. Coincidence? I think not.

Patriots 34 @ Colts 38

	Jeremy Is it a law that this game has to be an annual event? Will Payton Manning have to throw for no less than 90 touchdowns to get people off his back?
	Matt In many ways, this matchup really is like Jeter vs. A-Rod (the baseball player, not the Packer QB).
	Jon Thought #1. In my earliest football awareness memories these two teams were the worst two teams. In Tecmo Super Bowl they are terrible. Thought #2. Two weeks ago, I mentioned that Belichick doesn't seem to lose to a team twice in a season. Thought #3. Indianapolis is really good at home. Thought #4. I want Indianapolis.
	Sarah Boo to this match up. I pass.
	Scott Have these two quarterbacks ever met before? Peyton Manning is in his 9th year. If he wants to win a Super Bowl, he is running out of time. I know he will probably play a long time, but now's the time to do it. AFC Championship game on his home field is as good a chance as any. By the way, this is the first AFC Championship game to take place in a dome. Colts 42, Patriots 35.
	Alex blah blah blah, the AFC is retarded. Can't anyone beat these 2 teams?

I was thinking the same thing about Favre. Make your decision already. So I hear that Prince is performing at the Half Time show of the Super Bowl. So I've heard rumors that Favre will make his announcement during the Super Bowl, and then Prince will open up with "This is what it sounds like, when Favre Cries."

I think that touchdown run with 1:00 left was the "let them score" thing to give the Patriots offense enough time to run a drive. That was a huge hole.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Scott, you ignorant slut. I disagree. For starters holding them to only 3 there would have been huge. They also had 2 more time outs.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Yeah I make weekly appearances here. I don't go online at home that much these days. However, I am running a paper version of this website and I hit that up daily. It's real bare bones so far. Pencil Paper and a dot matrix printer. So far it's just me and jumbo 12 which is odd because I never see him make an entry but then I'll look and there's a comment.

I thought all this time that Jumbo12 was Jon's alter ego he created to try and make up for his poor weekly picks. I wonder if anyone will point out that Chicago and Indianapolis are less than 3 hours apart.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

This is a pretty good story about the AFC Championship game. "We might look back and realize this game featured the most prolific quarterback (Manning), most prolific receiver (Marvin Harrison), most clutch quarterback (Brady), best playoff coach (Bill Belichick) and best kicker (Adam Vinatieri %u2014 an ex-Pat!) in NFL history. "And Manning and Brady each had the ball in the final two minutes with a chance to win. How can you beat that?"		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
