Super Bowl XLI!!!

In the spirit of the upcoming Super Bowl XLI, I want to offer some insight on the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams. Also, I will put my prediction of the winner and final score at the end of this post. Peyton Manning faces an aggressive Bears' defense that puts pressure on quarterbacks and forces turnovers. Rex Grossman faces a Colts defense that doesn't give up big plays and forces quarterbacks to be patient. Both teams have tough defenses that have held opponents to less than 100 yards per game against them. Both teams have solid kickers, who have been perfect through the playoffs. The Bears have a better return man in Devin Hester and the Colts kick coverage has been average at best. The one weakness the Bears defense has is its secondary, which is a bad thing against a quarterback like Manning. That's why my pick goes to the explosive offense of the Colts and Peyton Manning. I don't believe the Bears can hold receivers like Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne out of the end zone. Not to mention the phenomenal tight end Dallas Clark, who has been on fire in the playoffs. For these reasons I say Colts over the Bears, 27-23

I have to agree Peyton Manning will lead the Colts to win, how he plays the position he plays, I have no idea. No, really, I have no idea what position he plays. But that man is great. That's what Medman say at least.
