Thinkin' Bears

After confidently picking the Buckeyes by 10 in the National Championship Game, I may never publicly predict the outcome of another football game. Add that humiliation to my baseball prognostications last year, and it's fair to say the bloom is off the old rose (if ever a bloom there was). I sit before you today humbled and meek, questioning my sports instincts, but subjecting you to them anyway.

So I'm figuring that if my heart wants the Colts to win the Super Bowl later today, (and it does...I usually pull for the AFC team, and besides, Peyton Manning is so under-exposed) I should go on record that my head says go with the Bears.

Something just tells me the Bears will be able to run the ball, and that their defense and return teams will be able to pull off the upset. I hope I'm wrong.

See how this works for me?

Baby steps...

UPDATE 2/5: That worked out nicely. I guess I had no idea how bad the Bears' offense would be.
