Who will win Super Bowl XLII?

[Coach Owens]

Yes, I stole the idea from that old poll. . I say the Seahawks.

[Arctic Blast]

Well, my preseason pick was the Steelers, so I'm sticking to my guns.

[mnstonecold]

Cowboys will beat the Packers in the NFC championship game

or Favre could win and go to the supoer bowl and win and then finally retire!

[asianinvasion]

The Seahawks will get to the Super Bowl and play the Patriots. Once again, the zebras will ****up the game so the Pats will win.

[RickD]

The Bears!!!!! Coming back to go 10-6, making the WC and then sweeping all the way.

[CatKnight]

AFC Championship: Jaguars def. Browns
NFC Championship: Cowboys def. Buccaneers

Super Bowl: Jaguars def. Cowboys

You heard it here first :X

Well, I would say Pittsburgh, but their offense has apparently gone missing in the last few weeks. Seriously, if you only score 3 against the Dolphins and get shut out for 59 minutes and 43 seconds, you are pretty bad on offense. However, the Dolphins are absolutely atrocious and can't score any points. I've been a skeptic of the Patriots all year long and despite the fact that they lucked into beating the Eagles late, I'm not about to change. I don't believe that the Colts are a Super Bowl team, although they won it last year (well, actually, the refs blew alot of calls against both Baltimore and New England to put them in the Super Bowl and their opponent in the Super Bowl had an incompetent QB). I don't think the NFC can win the Super Bowl.

I also don't believe in the Titans or the Browns (talent-wise, those teams are probably only slightly above Oakland, Kansas City, and Miami) and Norv Turner is incompetent, so I have to go with the Jaguars. Jacksonville can run the football better than anybody else and has a defense that knows how to tackle. And David Garrard is a winner and doesn't make stupid plays. If Jacksonville goes to New England in the snow, they'll run all over the soft New England defense and shut down Randy Moss.

Super Bowl XLII

Patriots over Cowboys in a relative snoozefest, confirming the results of the earlier matchup. I'll probably be looking for something else to watch on TV.

Stay tuned as these predictions continue to change, week per week, with the outcome usually a Patriots romp.

Heh... that three point performance, by the way, still leaves them still ranked seventh in the league in points/game, and 12th in total offense. It'd be a mistake to write off that offense based on the fact that they didn't put up a lot of points in any one game, let alone in one that was played in a swamp during a downpour.

[YEAH DAAAAWG]

Did you happen to actually watch that game?

I was wondering the same thing. The field conditions were terrible. You could've put an offense of Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and Kellen Winslow Sr. out there against the Dolphins and they wouldn't have scored more than 10. The field was a huge equalizer and was basically just who could survive longer.

Chargers!

[Kevin Prior]

The Colts will win. You can never count out Peyton Manning or healthy Colts they were unstoppable when they were healthy.

[Arctic Blast]

The Colts will win. You can never count out Peyton Manning or healthy Colts they were unstoppable when they were healthy.

And they aren't healthy now. Dwight Freeney is done for the year, Anthony McFarland never played a snap, and Marvin Harrison's knee doesn't look like it's going to be fully healthy from this point on this year.

The Seahawks will get to the Super Bowl and play the Patriots. Once again, the zebras will ****up the game so the Pats will win.
