OK, there can't be many people out there that picked this game for the superbowl this year. Maybe the Colts making it, a diehard Bears fan picking the Bears, but both???? I for one and glad to see Manning make it to the big game. Love watching him play in the regular season, completely painful watching him at times in the playoffs. Will be real interesting to see how Manning copes against that Bears aggressive defence.

As for the Bears, Grossman really holds the key. If he can avoid the costly mistakes and have a good game then the rest should fall in its place. The defence looks real strong and the running game is good. Don't think the Bears have a chance if Grossman has to win it all, he is too hot and cold this season. Great one minute, terrible the next.

Watched both the championship games and the Bears were impressive destroying the Saints. The Colts were just as impressive coming from 18 points down against a team that they have struggled to beat. The Colts have really addressed their terrible run defence and it looks real good for them going into the superbowl. If there offence can keep scoring and the defence holds then the Colts have a real chance of taking this one.

Can't wait for the game. Hoping for a close one...and the Colts winning by a FG (courtesy of the boot of a certain ex patriot).

I'm pretty sure I recall Tom calling it, but then I think that was when they were the only 2 unbeaten teams in the league, so not as adventurous a call as it might sound - I wonder if he changed his mind when the Colts slumped out of the top 2 seeds?

Personally I'm still gutted that the Chargers threw it away against the Patriots in the Divisional round. Slightly different situation I know, but when I saw Jackson take the dive after his interception to kill Sunday's game off, all I could think was "Now why couldn't McCree have had the sense to do that last week?". He wasn't the only one to make a dumb mistake that day, but that was the killer.

I'm very biased here as San Diego are one of my favourite teams, but I really think that if they'd have held on against the Pats and got the rust out of their system then they'd have been more than a match for the Colts.

Oh well, Colts-Bears it is! Can't say I really care much for either team, but I agree it'll be interesting to see how Manning holds up against the Bears D - my guess is that the comeback against the Pats will prove a watershed for Peyton and he'll be MVP, with Grossman disintegrating under the pressure on the other side. Not sure the Colts have totally fixed their run defence problem though and that would spell big trouble against the Bears if Grossman can provide at least a half-decent passing threat.
