Bears or the Colts?

This game could be a really tight defensive struggle or really get out of hand. The Bears were probably the last team I wanted to see in the Super Bowl simply because they can make games look really ugly. Even though they showed dominance all season in a really weak NFC they tend to play terrible at times. Rex Grossman is terrible. There is no other way to put it so they have to hope th edefense and Hester the return man can make some big plays to make up for this terrible offense.

On the other hand, the Colts had the worst rushing defense this year I have ever seen. A stat that was mentioned during the AFC Championship game was that they had allowed 100+ yards rushing in EVERY game this season. That hasn't happened in a couple of decades, yet they are in the Super Bowl. Their defense isn't why they won so many games this year, butit does its job when it has to. It is built to play with a lead. Super fast DEs like Dwight Freeney to put pressure on the QB and make big plays when they have the offense to put up points.

The Super Bowl I think is going to end up with the Colts putting up a lot of points and blowing the Bears out. The only way the Bears compete in this game is if they can get themselves a couple of early defensive scores or a huge kickoff/punt return to get a head. Then they can run the ball with Jones and Benson. IF not, they are in for a long day. The Colts can score on anyone and they will score on the Bears.
