It is our opinion that the super bowl is almost always a let-down. Consequently, this weekend provides us with probably the two best games of the entire season.
We are coming off of a piss-poor 1-3 showing in the divisional weekend, bringing us to 4-4 for the post season. That is well below our standards, so we will try to pick things up for championship weekend.
New Orleans at Chicago (-2)
This is a tough one. Does Sexy Rexy have two good games in a row in him? How will the Bears defense stop all of the weapons of the Saints offense? How will the Saints do in bad weather?
During the regular season the Saints were 7-1 on the road, including a blowout road win against a nose-diving Giants team. They have also been one of the hottest team in the league in the second half of the season. On the other side of the ball, the Bears defense, which carried them through the first half of the season, faltered down the stretch, giving up 27, 31, 21, 26 (meaningless week 17 game vs. the Pack), and 24 points in their last five outings? I really don’t like the way this game looks for the Bears, especially if you need Rexy to make a play in the 4th quarter. Granted, he made maybe the biggest throw of his career in overtime last week to set up the game winning field goal, but I’m betting against him being able to do it two weeks in a row. I’ll take the Saints and the 2 points.
New England at Indianapolis (-3)
This game is not really about the spread, because the Patriots will most assuredly beat the 3 point spread without breaking a sweat. This game is more about who will get the outright win.
Earlier in the week we chronicled the many reasons to hate the Patriots and their coach, Bill Belichick. So we will be cheering loudly for the A-Rod of the NFL: Peyton Manning. Unfortunately, we have a sneaking suspicion that A-Rod will once again come up small in a big spot and come 10pm on Sunday night we will be watching Tom Fucking Brady and the rest of the Patriots celebrating on another team’s logo. Again.
As Bob Knight would put it, its inevitable so we might as well sit back and enjoy it. Now you’ll excuse us, we have to go to celebrate the Indian’s signing Trot Nixon! Wooo!
