Bears 35 Colts 27 What say ye?</i> I think that those scores are too high for a Bears win. Either the Colts blow out the Bears in a high-scoring game, or the Bears win in a lower-scoring one (my personal hope). Rooting for the Bears, expecting the Colts to win. But for the record: Bears 24 Colts 17 And if I'm correct, everyone who's ever commented with the name "anonymous" on your site will have bragging rights. I still say Bears win.

Bears 35
Colts 27

What say ye?

Both qb's will choke, producing the second straight Superbowl in which the outcome will be decided by which team f*cks up worse. Final score... Chicago: 0 Indy: 0 I know that's impossible, but I bet my prediction is closer than anyone else's so far. Where did all these high numbers come from?

In all of the extensive pre-bigassgame analysis, I haven't heard anyone yet yammer about the key common denominator of winning Super Bowl clubs: Who parties harder. From the great Max McGee to Joe Willie to Stabler's Raiders (did they have a babe-filled hot tub on the sidelines?) to Jim McMahon triumphantly leading an insanely large entourage in the wee hours down Bourbon Street and then mooning the helicopter chasing from above. A couple few years ago Jim Fossil clamped down on his Giants with strict rules and bed checks and whatnot then got crushed by Tony Siragussa and Co,. who may as well have been playing in Hawaiian shirts (and we already knew a little too well that Ray Lewis knows how to party at a Super Bowl). Sure, there's the occasional Eugene Robinson to buck the trend, but that's how's you bet. Given that Brian Urlacher dated Paris Hilton pre-sex tape and Peyton Manning will prob'ly hit the sack at a sensible hour after pouring over playbooks and game film and downing a glass of warm (skim) milk, well, that points to a Bears victory.
