Conference Champs are...

I didn't have time due to travel this week for work to do a thought provoking write-up on our blog. My book has both games at 3 and the total for the Bears at 43 and Colts total at 47.5. The Gurus picked up 5.5 stars last week cutting the annual deficit to 14.3 stars.

I think that the Saints have a legit shot at winning this game outright. Therefore, I will take the points in Chicago. I really like the over in that game as well. The Bears defense has been anything but stellar and now the #1 offense in the league is coming to town. Before people start screaming about a dome team in the cold remember that Drew Brees went to school not far from Chicago at Purdue. He will be able to handle the cold just fine. Take the Saints for 2 and the over for 3

I am really torn on the Colts vs. Patriots. Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning. The bottom line is the Colts rush defense has been so much better of late and this was their achilles heal. Rodney Harrison is out for the Patriots, which means Chad Scott will be getting playing time and that can't be good. I think Tom Brady's run ends today inside the dome and Peyton Manning makes his first trip to the Super Bowl. GIve the 3. I would also trend to over the 47.5...this has all the potential in the world of being a shootout. The Colts score much more in the dome than outdoors. Take the Colts for 3 and the over for 4
