Well Guys, I have seen enough, so lets do this !! First of all, Good info TOD on that point system. I have seen that before ( not that format ) and that usually does very well. Another Good post by Goat. Don't go all out with all of the bets and side wagers on this game. The game actually came in a little more difficult than I originally thought, but Numbers don't lie, so for what it's worth, here we go !!!!!!!
Chicago Bears vs Indianapolis Colts
A Matchup of 2 teams that were guided to the Superbowl in different directions. One by offense, One by defense. The Bears defense hasn't played well at all in the Playoffs. I mean Brees passed for over 350, Seattle ran on them like no other team has before and they are lead by a QB that Lovie Smith won't turn loose in fear that he may single handed loose the game for the Bears. The Bears have adapted well with such a below average QB, that they are now use to it. Remember the Colts play that 2 deep shit, which should allow Rex to throw the underneath stuff all day. Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson have jelled together down the stretch for the Bears and that 1-2 punch has become a force to deal with. We all know the woes the Colts have had on defense, so look for the Bears to establish a runing attack early and often.
The Colts are the other hand has weapons all over the place. Manning, Addai, Harrison, Wayne etc. The Colts offense is capable of dropping 30 on any given day. Just as the Colts Defense, The Bears play a 2 deep often as well, but with outstanding LB play, the Bears have more roaming options. The Bears 14-2 last 16 when an opposing QB completes 60% or more of his passes. How crazy does that sound ?? Tells me, they bend but don't break and they keep everything in front of them. But Manning is like a thief in the middle of the night. You never know what that guy will do, so the Bears need to be on their A-Game because the Colts will push them MOFO's like no other

Here are the GOLDEN NUGGETS of the Superbowl boys *****
Take these 4 categories into effect and you will have your winner ******
1) Rushing Yards - Who will have the most
2) Passing Yards per attempt - Who will hit the DEEP plays
3) Turnovers - Who will make the least amount of mistakes
4) Time Of Possession - Who will control the line of scrimmage
Teams that have held the edge in at least 3 categories have won 34 out of the Past 35 SuperBowls, WOW. Thats impressive. So the team that controls the line of scrimmage, makes the Big plays and avoids mistakes will be your winner. I have the 4 areas figured out, so lets see if that impressive trends holds for SuperBowl 41.
One more Nugget for you, The Colts are 4-18 when facing a defense that averages 2+ takeaways per game, Uh Oh !!!

You know, I talked to PC7588 and PerryComo on the phone last night and we all agreed on 1 thing, The Bears will be there come the end of the game. They are fundamentally sound and have proven in the past, they can overcome mistakes while creating them theirself.
My SuperBowl 41 play ****************************************
CHICAGO BEARS + 7 ****** ABOVE AVERAGE *******
PROP BETS *************************************************
Reggie Wayne OVER 75.5 Yards ( Homecoming for Mr. Wayne and I just told you that Bears will give up the Dink and Dunk. Harrison should be doubled which will leave Wayne in a BIG spot here )
Reggie Wayne OVER 5.5 Catches ( Again, he is capable of catching that on 1 drive as the Bears will give these Colts recievers room to avoid the Homerun ball )
Good Luck Guys, we should be in for a TREAT !!!!!!
