Re: Super Bowl Predictions
I'm fairly certain, that these distinguished gentlemen {see below}, would all agree; That most predictions contain too many unknown 'variables'; To confidently forecast; Given your future 'space-time' context. -- Ergo: Will the better team 'on paper' 'Colts,' 'show up'?; Or perhaps, it'll be; The emotionally 'flat-footed' {more experienced}, 'Colts.' In a repeat of the 1969, 'Colts'-{"Joe Namath" led}, 'NY Jets,' Super Bowl!?

Super Bowl nun makes her pick
In Colts vs. Saints showdown, which horse will Chicago nun ride?
 
By Kevin Pang, Tribune reporter
 
February 2, 2010
 
Around this time every year, we get a very nice e-mail from a very nice nun, who politely reminds us that among those in her convent, she is the reigning Super Bowl prognosticator. This sister is not to be messed with.
 
With an 18-6 record in picking football's biggest game (she only predicts winners and scores, not the spread; gambling is the eighth deadly sin), Sister Jean Kenny of St. Francis Borgia Parish has fashioned herself into quite the media darling.
 
When we made our annual check-in with Kenny and her dear cat Woodsie, she was in the midst of a host of media appearances: local morning shows, CNN, newspaper interviews. A few years back, she was hamming it up on TV with Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno.
 
Kenny, was an arts and gym teacher at the now-closed St. Priscilla Elementary School on the Northwest Side, has been dubbed the "Psychic Nun" in some media outlets, but she admits having no extrasensory abilities. Rather, she relies on her subscription to Pro Football Weekly ("the gospel of the NFL," she says) and her statistical analytic acumen.
 
Then, as she does every year, she composes her prediction in rhyme and verse, which we present to you here.
 
"Manning's Miami Masterpiece"
 
Welcome back fans to the Sunshine State
 
See the galloping Colts sprint out of the gate
 
Sean Payton's "Who Dat" team is dealt their bridesmaid fate
 
While the BLUE Dat winners go on to celebrate
 
The penalty-prone Saints are confused and slow
 
Drew Brees experiences a knockout blow
 
Gentleman Jim Irsay's team is focused and ready to go
 
Coach Caldwell's game plan unfolds well at the NFL's biggest show
 
Freeney shows "Hoosier Hospitality" as he inflicts some pain
 
The saddened Saints fall from grace and are sore and lame
 
They played hard, but could not live up to their name
 
The Colts stampede in Miami again and win the big game!
 
Sister Jean Kenny's prediction: Colts win 31-22.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
the saints are the only team that has never won a super bowl, they have made it this far, that means (to my way of thinking at least) that strange forces are going to be at work to make a saint victory. Its sort of like when you have all these things in your cellar, like paint, and paint thinner, and rags, and wood polish and everyting all gets together to start a fire. it might be more close than anyone could possible imagine.

 That is the reason I am rooting for the Saints.
 
As usual I will be switching between the Super Bowl and AP's Puppy Bowl.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
.. The {Detroit} 'Lions' will factor in the race for the "Super Bowl" 'imo'; Right around the time when 'GM' {with its 'Detroit' headquarters}; Regains its former reputation; And private entrepreneurial, ownership and luster; Or around the year, 2048.

Re: Super Bowl Predictions
Eagles have never won a superbowl either.If Saints fans used to wear bags over there heads Eagles fans should follow Jim Jones and his group.As long as Reid,Banner and Lurie run that franchise(the 3 stooges) only crown Eagles will win is most inept team in professional sports history (50 years ! since last championship)
