Bears - Colts

[Shaggyra]

Just like I predicted.

So much for the so-called new "America's Team". Who-hoo for the Monsters of the Midway!

Go Bears!!!!!!!

As a Vikings fan, I could care less about the Bears for the most part.  The team is well coached though, and I was hoping that Ron Rivera would have ended up in Minnesota rather than Brad Childress.
 
The Patriots have really ugly uniforms.  Silver and and that awful red color?  Who thought of that?  They have a nice logo, but a white helmet would have been much better.  Although I respect him as a coach, I was getting tired of seeing Bill Belichick's kids jumping around the field on game day.  I am glad that is over this season.
 
I do like Tony Dungy, and I'd like to see him get the big win even if that means a Manning brother gets the win too.

I don't know if this will make sense but I think the Colts offense will do a better job of dealing with the Bears defense than the Bears offense will have dealing with the Colts defense. The intangible will be the special teams performance of both teams. The Colts will field suspect coverage teams against the leagues best return man. Clear as mud ain't it? I think the Colts will have the rushing advantage because they have split the rushing duties between 2 good backs so in essence the Bears will be facing a rushing tandom that is in peak rushing form compounded with them basically being in week 8 regarding physical break down. Yes I know that the Bears D is rated high but I do question the overall quality of the teams they have played. I think the last thing the Bears really want to do is try to beat the Colts by attacking their secondary, whether it by rushing or passing. Sanders has made all the difference in the world for the Colts defense since his return in that they have been able to make other adjustments to improve their D with his presence. Bottom line, IMHO, the Colts will win by no more than a TD but have the game in total control by half. I just might be eating crow in 2 weeks but this is what I'm thinking. Having lived in the greater Indianapolis area for nearly 12 years can you blame me [:D]
