Who would you like to see win each game?

And who you think will will each game?

• Saints-Bears (Sun., 3 ET)

• Patriots-Colts (Sun., 6:30 ET)

*Personally, I think the Saints will win the NFC Championship.

The Bears are just too inconsistent and Rex Grossman is a joke. Grossman is just as likely to throw 5 interceptions as he is a throw even 1 touchdown pass. And their defense is a little overrated. They have given up over 300 yards in each of their last 2 games. Drew Brees is having a great year, and he is much more experienced than Grossman. I would also love the see the Saints win. How can you not like the feel good story that is the New Orleans Saints? Going from a displaced team from a tragic area to being a game away from the Super Bowl? I think the importance of the teams effect on the people of New Orleans is a little overplayed in the media (many of these people still have problems that a winning football team fails misserably to compensate for), it is still a good thing.

*I also think the Colts will finally overcome the Patriots and get to the Super Bowl. I would also love to see this happen.

The Colts have the best offense in the league and their defense has been unbelievable so far in this postseason, holding the Chiefs to 8 points and the Ravens to 6 points. The Patriots made a great comeback against the Chargers, partially due to Marty Schottenheimer's (sp?) inability to win a big game. But they just have so few weapons left on offense, I find it hard to believe that they will score enough to keep up with the Colts being in the RCA Dome. If this game were being played in Foxboro, I could see the Pats winning. But not in Indianapolis.

What do you all think?
 
I have to pull for the La. boys. The Colts have a bunch, and the Saints ...Well they're the Saints.:)
 
I don't care much for spelling. If I can tell what ya mean thats good E-nuff for me.:)
 
Grossman looked a little shook up on Sunday. If the Saints can get to him, they'll win.

The Colts and the Pats ---- I have a feeeling Manning will choke. Again.
 
Pats look like repeaters and Saints are looking good!

GOOOOOOO PATS!

Welcome Ben!
 
Am I wrong?

Couldn't we have had a bears/colts superbowl back in sept and not played all the inbetween games?
Betsy;)
 
Ooooooooooh I love it. Bears are the underdogs with the best record. Rex is the reason and again, I love it. I want everyone here who doesn't believe in the Bears to give their personal "I was wrong" statement after next weeks game. If I'm wrong, I'll do the same, but you won't see as many from my end as I will from your end. Tab, sorry pal, but yer boys are going to head back home for the rest of the season next week. I hope the Colts can put those Pats in their place, but the last Super Bowl the Bears were in (their only appearance), they whooped those Patsies. :) They can do it again. :bounce:

I don't care if they get beat 50-0. It has been a GREAT year down here. I think they have one more win in them.
 
I think the Bears can win this game no doubt about it. I just don't think they will.

The Patriots scare me as well. I still think the Colts will win it, but the Pats have screwed up my plans too many times for me to think they can't do it again.

Either way, I plan on having a great time watching it. A really old friend called me out of the blue the other day and wants to get together to watch the games at his place Sunday. We were best friends growing up, but drifted apart after high school. Knocking back a couple of brews and watching championship games with a great old friend sounds like a great time to me. :cheers:
 
It's the Pats in the Superbowl against the Saints for my prediction, Manning will fall apart again , old Bill will have some tricks up his sleeve, plus the Colts stopping the run for 3 consecutive games is highly unlikely. Love the saint to ge to the big show, it would be great for New Orleans.
 
Okay guys, I'm not going to sit here and rub it in, but for most of the country, press and even non-fans, the game between the Bears and the Saints was supposed to be nothing but the Saints all the way. Yeah, it was also part of the Katrina thing, but the Saints had the number one offense of the NFL and should have just squashed the Bears. I've never seen any team with possibly the exception of the '69 Jets with so little respect than this years Bears, the team going into this weekend with the best record of all those teams playing. And what's more, no doubt that who ever wins the AFC game, they will be the favorites going into the Super Bowl. For that, I'm glad because the same thing can happen to them as what happened to the Saints.

To the real Saints fans...you have nothing to hang your head over...but this just wasn't your year.

To the casual Saint fans who just jumped on the bandwagon...from Soldier Field...

When the Monsters of the Midway were on top in the 80's, I lived up that way and went to a couple of games a year in the old stadium. It sure feels good to get back to what they had back then. This game so much reminded me of those Bears. Defense, defense, defense. Today, as I did in those old days, I couldn't wait to see the team on defense and try to get a turnover.
 
The Bears won the game handily. No doubt about it. But their quarterback is still lousy and the Saints could not get any traction in the mud in Chicago.

I think they will give the Colts a decent game. But in most big games you have to rely on your quarterback to make a big play, and I would much rather be counting on Peyton Manning to make a big play than on Rex Grossman.
 
Okie dokie, so yer takin' the Colts. Hmmmm, I wonder if you will be the only one who would prefer Payton to Rex. Don't know what they are, but I'll bet that the points will go to the Bears on this one and I'll take them. I'd rather have a great defense than a hall of fame quarterback. Having both would be nice though.
