Somewhere on FR I (think I) predicted the Seahawks were going to go to the SB.
I also predicted that the Lions would be going to SuperBowl XL, but as spectators.
[rimshot!]
But anyway, I haven't any idea how these teams are going to match up, as I've only seen Pittsburgh play at all, other than highlights on sports shows. Cowher has it goin' on. Holmgren I liked even when he was coaching the Fromages, and liked him even better when he left for Seattle.
I don't have any preference either way, other than to say that I'd like to see the Seahawks win just because they've never won before. However, it isn't real self-esteem unless it's earned, so the team that wins should be the team that plays best.
No bad calls from the officials, I hope. I'll predict that there will be at least one.
The SuperBowl is often a blowout, with one team stinkin' up the place. I don't see that happening this year. Probably be a close game, regardless of the final score. :')
That about covers it -- no commitment about the point spread, or the victor. That's thinkin' things through.
Oh, and a real prediction -- the Detroit Lions will go to the playoffs after the 2006 season.
Notice I didn't say how long after 2006?
But I do mean that. The Lions will go to the playoffs in 2006.
I think Chicago will have a hard time repeating as division champs, and Green Bay will suck some more, so we'll see the Vikings win the division, and the Lions will grab a wild card berth.
In 2006.
That's 2006 A.D.
;')
In 2007, the Lions will win the division, and Green Bay will have a new QB (and wind up third place, not the cellar). Poor Lovey Smith. I like that guy.
No way the Bears should take the dividion again, they play like 9 games next year with teams that have new head coaches.
Viks, Green Bay, Lions, X2, Buffalo, Rams and Jets
