Bears or Colts

Bears, by two TDs.

Aha - someone wants to get things going! Has Chicago even scored 2 TDs in a game this year? You know they were runs if so! With Indy's D tightening up as the season ended, I think if Peyton has the kind of game he is capable of, it is Indy by 10. They say a good defense beats a good offense every time - but Chicago's lack of offense just makes them too vulnerable.

"... but Chicago's lack of offense just makes them too vulnerable."

Ah, too true. Oh well, wishful thinking. I'm from Baltimore originally so I had an emotional reaction to anything but the Baltimore Colts winning the Super Bowl.

Shame a Canadian (gasp!) had to school me on this.

Sadly the Cassandra rule curses us to only be good at predicting the things that are not critical to us. Now, if the Senators could win the Stanley Cup - that would make them the first Canadian team to win at the Canadian game in 14 years. That would be more special than waking up tomorrow and finding you guys had bought Zimbra

Michael, where can I find more info on the "Cassandra rule"? Google's turning up blanks for me.

Likely as I made it up

Sort of a cross between Murphy's law, and the lore of Cassandra - in mythology she was blessed with the gift of prophecy - but cursed never to be believed.

[andydreisch]

I never believed her either.

Thanks for the clarification.
