Chicago Bears vs. Indianapolis Colts a good betting choice?
And, what about Baltimore, SanDiego or the Pats in the AFC....And, the Saints or the Seahawks in the NFC...?
Any early predictions and would you bet the farm!

Never, ever bet the farm in pro sports, college is a different story but not in the pro's. To me you have to look at the Chicago Bears as a favorite right now. No noticable weaknesses on defense, offense or special teams!
The AFC seems to be down this year. The NFC actually has the edge in head to head games! Indy is 5-0 but I don't know if they would hold up against the Bears right now.
As for Baltimore, their offense still sputters, San Diego, possibly but their coach holds them back and the Pats have the experience. It should be interesting.

Chicago has to be at the top of the list, they are very good on both sides of the ball, the most balance team without question. Indianapolis also has a good chance, that offense is simply explosive, and their defense isn't too bad either.
Baltimore has been surprising this season, but inconsistent at times, and with Mcnair getting hurt, who knows how they will respond. San Diego is another good team, but I don't see Rivers taking them all the way to the Superbowl in his 1st year. I think that Patriots have gotten weak this year, Brady really misses Branch and while their coaching and system has allowed them to swap players in and out, I think they may have changed the original Superbowl winning formula too much.
The Seahawks look like they are very good, breaking the misfortune of recent Superbowl losing teams- remember the seasons Tampa Bay, Oakland, and Philly had after their losses (there are others but I can't recall.) I believe the Broncos have a good chance, if Plummer can do his best to not lose it in the playoffs, their running game and defense could take them far.
For know, I'd have to go with Chicago Bears against the Indianapolis Colts in the Superbowl, they are 2 of the best teams in the league. You must remember that the "best" team doesn't always win though, just look at Pittsburgh last year, on paper they were inferior to every team they faced (Cinci, Indy, and Denver) but they got hot at the right time.

Bears- Colts not a bad choice, but i would not bet the farm
Watch out for the Pats in the AFC, you can't count the Chargers out, but i think the Ravens will fade
Seahawks a better choice than the Saints
Bears - Pats, but too early to bet the farm

This season quite did bypass by utilising way too rapid, yet congrats to the Giants on a super season. The Lions get an A because of the fact they made the playoffs for the 1st time and ten years and are finally correct lower back. All we could desire to do is stay healthful and draft nicely. If we draft/sign a corner and re-sign Tulloch and Avril we are going to be severe contenders next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days.

earlier I would have said Ravens v. Bears, but as mentioned, Ravens are getting inconsistant (though they did win against Bucs Raiders and Browns, and MartyBall --so maybe they weren't all they were cracked up to be). Now I'd say either Chargers v. Bears, or Broncos v. Bears (Broncos will go far, but eventually -- only kicking their defense up in the redzone will bite them ---the offensives of the Colts, Seahawks, and Bengals all have a chance of doing them in )

I would say the Chargers with that Defense and they will get enough out of Rivers as far as scoring goes. It pains me to say this next team being a Lions fan here in detroit but i will say the Chicago Bears. They have one of the best defenses and their offense is coming around this year.

there's no teams i would bet the farm on right now just because i've done so bad at betting this year (but that's another story).
if i had to pick right now i'd say chargers vs. bears. but u never know.
