Bears +7
Bears ML +236, +229
MVP: Thomas Jones +1000
MVP: Devin Hester +3000
I think the greatest fault of sports handicappers is to assume. All we've heard and read for two weeks is that Peyton is going to throw all over the Bears "lousy" defense and that Rex Grossman is awful. Those are all assumptions.
I think the Bears special teams and their ability to force turnovers is the great equalizer in this game. I think both teams will be able to move the ball between the 20s yet there will be many field goals.
I think the loss or 65% of Nick Harper is enormous. Playing a converted safety Marlon Jackson at corner will either force Sanders to play more of the pass or leave Berrian or Muhammed with man coverage for most of the game. I like my chances here.
When the games were final two weeks ago, I didnt think there was any way the Colts wouldnt win by 17. I mean the AFC is far superior to the NFC...just like the Cards didnt stand a chance against the AL's Tigers and the Heat were going to get swept by the powerful Western Conference Mavericks. The latter two we found out were assumptions made by talking heads, analysts, pundits, writers, ESPN, etc...just like this Super Bowl is one big fat assumption that Rex is awful and that he couldnt possibly win this game.
If Peyton plays mediocre, the Colts lose. If Rex plays mediocre, the Bears have a great shot to win.
Has anyone even asked themselves, "What if Rex plays a good game?"
