Super Showdown

Super Bowl XLI...that's Super Bowl 41. Colts vs Bears. Peyton Manning vs Rex Grossman. Indianapolis vs Chicago. 2 neigbouring states eyeing for the title in the biggest game of the American sports.

Yes, I watch NFL games....only if the Colts are playing, that is. What's not to like about the NFL...the joy of watching men in tights. I like this football than the other football. You know..the one where 11 men chase after a ball and yet sometimes after 90 mins, the game is still scoreless. What fun is that? I prefer to watch high scoring games.

Last year Coltswere predicted to go to the Super Bowl but got beaten in the semis by Steelers, the eventual Super Bowl champion. It seems that in this season, nothing could go wrong. Colts started off the season going 9-0 but then they stumbled midway of the season. They beat the New England patriots in a thrilling come from behind game to reach the Super Bowl. Now they get to face the Bears in the Feb 4th showdown in Dophins Stadium, Miami. Colts are favored to win this one and I hope they do. The city of Indianapolis doesn't have much to cheer about in sports in recent years. This is the first Super Bowl for Colts in their 19 years era in Indianapolis since their move from Baltimore.

Super Bowl XLI also features Lovie Smith vs Tony Dungy...the first 2 blacks to coach in the Super Bowl. It seems a lot of have been said regards this subject but really, the game is about 2 best teams left standing in the NFL. The game is about 2 teams whose hope of winning the title lies on the shoulder of their quarterbacks. One is a future Hall of Famer who had endured his fair share of criticisms...while the other has been constantly criticised by just about every NFL analyst. Oh, so much pressure...

This is gonna be fun. I hope Colts win this one. Judging from the way they came from behind to beat the Patriots, I'm pretty confident the boys in blue and white are ready to win the big one.

My prediction: Colts 21 Bears 7
