HUGE Challenge coming up here! That was a fumble though and I think the Colts will get the ball back!

The vastly overrated Bears pull it out. Again.

Great game by Seattle, and the Bears too, but far far too much credit given to the Bears this week and all year, certainly in comparison to the rest of the NFC.

Well done Seattle....with a depleted defense, and the main guys on offense no where near 100%, very proud of the team today.

On offense, great game by Alexander one of those guys not 100%.

Questions have to be asked still of Hasslebeck..the 4th an 1 where he bobbles the snap, the horrible throw to give the ball back to the Bears the play just after SEA intercepts Grossman.

Then, the huge play, 3-10 on CHI 45, with the wind behind him, under a minute to go. Even getting 6 or 7 yards, at least a long FG attempt by Brown, who had a stronger leg the Gould and would've been able to make 53 or so yd FG if Gould could make a 49yd. Instead, he doesn't get it out of his hand and takes a 9yd loss.

The guy still makes bad mental decisions when you least expect it. FOr all the veteran savy he shows (as he should, he is almost a veteran) he makes rookie mistakes, still...and has all season.

Anyways, lets go Saints.

Well down to finals.

My early feelings with I may revise are

Colts vs. Pats in Indy.

So far the Colts are doing a lot to exonorate their ghosts of the past. Pats still have that moxy about them and just seem to know what it takes to win these games. But this Colts team has shown me something in the past two weeks that I didn't see in them before.

Colts win 30-21

Saints at Bears
Hmmm...I'm still not entirely decided on this one yet. Saints ran a pretty nice balanced attack vs. the Eagles this week. Seattle were a bit unfortunate to lose in Chicago this week. Rex Grossman did play a decent game for the Bears.

I'm thinking Brees will make better descisions than Hasselback did and that will be enough for the Saints to win this one 24-21.

NE beats the Colts in a squeaker in the RCA dome. Manning jumps off a bridge after the game.

Saints smoke the Bears, though part of me hopes for a Superbowl rematch.

who wouldn't love to see the Saints win it all after all that city has been through in the last while?

Colts over the Pats 31-17

Saints over the Bears 28-20

Me. If the Bears win the Super Bowl I win $300.

Bears and Pats win.

Hopefully the NFL doesn't allow the Bears to water down and freeze the field on Sunday, Saints win by 10. Saints 27 Bears 17

New England has played two mediocre games and won, they play well this week and lose to a Vinatieri field goal. Colts 24 Pats 21

Mediocre is being nice, they were pretty bad yesterday and really had no right winning, but you know what, San Diego's mistakes were more costly. Had Troy Brown not stripped the ball, the Chargers wind the clock down and game over. Outside of the drive before the half and the one that lead to the final FG, the Pats were pretty bad on the offensive side of the ball.

I'll admit they didn't play their best yesterday, but a 21 point victory over the Jets is "mediocre"? What do people expect here?

OILFAN #81 · 01-15-2007, 10:07 AM

Patriots 24 @ Colts 27

In a close game, Adam Vinatieri breaks his former teammates hearts and sends YOUR INDIANAPOLIS COLTS to the Superbowl!!!!!!! Our defense has to play how it did the last 2 weeks vs the Chiefs and Ravens. I expect big games from June, Sanders and Harper. Offensively, Manning and company will need to pick it up and I know they will at the RCA Dome. Harrison is our best reciever but expect a huge game from Reggie Wayne! I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited about this game. It's been tough over the years being a Colts fan as we haven't got over that hurdle we need to. This can finally be OUR YEAR. The Pats have been that hurdle we need to get over and I feel this year we will do it. GO COLTS!!!!!!!

Saints 24 @ Bears 21

Another close game here but the Bears playing at home and with that defense will make it very close. I like the Saints pulling out a squeaker. Expect a huge game from Mcallister.

I take it you watched that game? The Pats were not at their best, but got it done after a touchdown and subsequent int for a touchdown that created the spread. If my Saints had played the same game, especially at home, I would definately called it mediocre.

Flickered Flame · 01-15-2007, 11:31 AM

I don't know which team I hate more, the Pats or the Colts or I don't care who wins. But I will take the Pats 21-18.

Saints are the story of the NFL this season and I hope they win it all. 28-14 Saints over the Bears.

It's not the rinky dink CFL Saint Troy, it should be ok.

Sainters7 · 01-16-2007, 01:03 PM

Saints/Colts Super Bowl! Count on it!!

...I just really hope the Bears dont use that "Toast Thomas" gameplan on Fred Thomas all day, like the Eagles did. I know Im stating the obvious here, but no way is Thomas or Craft our #2 CB next year. At least its Grossman, Im confident in this game.

However, if we win and its Brady or Manning out there against Thomas, Ill be terrified.

toonmaster · 01-18-2007, 04:27 PM

NE @ Indy - With the cryptonite of Ty Law gone from the Pats, Peyton Manning plays discipline and smart football. The Colts' D hammers Corey Dillon and knocks him into retirement, damn I hate him. Indy by 7.

NO @ Chicago - The key here is the @. I know the Saints have done quite well on the road, but the Bears love home. They will pound the ground and keep Brees off the field. If it was @ NO, I would pick Saints, but @ Chicago, I will take the Bears by 3.

flambers · 01-19-2007, 10:06 AM

Colts vs. Pats, The game is close the Colts win by 3 points.

Saints at Bears, Saints offense is to much for the Bears. Saints win by 17 points.
