I checked - I saw a few threads on the big game, but didn’t find one asking for picks. I don’t guess I really care, but I’m kinda rooting for the Colts. Or maybe against the Bears. The Bears kicker is from the town where I went to college. But that is not a strong enough tie to bind me to rooting for them. I’m gonna say: Colts 28, Bears 9. (I’m still kinda hoping for a miracle win by the Steelers.) ---

Colts. Same division as the Titans and Peyton played for UT. No other reason. ---

I’m rooting for the Colts. Normally, I’m an NFC guy, but Peyton is Archie’s kid and a former SEC standout. Colts 31 Bears 17 ---

I just like the Colts, and Manning in particular. Colts 33 Bears 18 An unlikely score, maybe, but it would allow me to win the office pool, so… ---

Bears. Because I grew up in Baltimore, was 10 years old when the Colts left, and having been nursing a grudge against them for more than 20 years. I love the fact that it’s raining in south Florida right now. ---

Keep in my that I had the Detroit Tigers beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 5, and Ohio State beating the Florida Gators, I boldly pick the Colts to win but the Bears to cover the spread, which last I checked had Indy by 7. ---

Colts. I’m not a football person, but I have an inexplicable fondness for the Colts, and have had it since roughtly the time the Peyton Manning joined their team. And, for my second and somewhat less important reason, I’m rooting for the Colts because I never want to hear another discussion about Peyton being a great quarterback who can’t win the big one. ---

Colts. By 10-13 points, I predict. ---

[QUOTE=Eureka] And, for my second and somewhat less important reason, I’m rooting for the Colts because I never want to hear another discussion about Peyton being a great quarterback who can’t win the big one. [/QUOTE] I did have another reason to pull for the Colts. This is it. Now, if he would just stop making commercials! Which one do you hate most? Mine is the Gatorade thing where he comes out of some rubber egg like the Terminator. ---

Rooting for the Bears, no question. Although I have a feeling they’re gonna get their asses handed to them. ---

The Bears will win because Urlacher is gonna kill the first Colt receiver that tries to come across the middle. After that, it will be easy pickings. 😃 ---

I can’t for the life of me comprehend how anyone could actually LIKE Peyton Manning. Ugh. Straight from the heart, Bears, 34-28. ---

Born a Bears fan, will die a Bears fan. Right now, I’m wearing the same clothes I wore to both of the playoff games - same boxers (sorry), socks, t-shirt and Payton road jersey. I have on the sweatpants my late dad wore in front of the TV 21 years ago. The Bears will run, control the ball, get a key turnover or two, get a run back by Hester and win by 10. Right about then, I could die a happy Bears fan. ---

Well, considering the Bears just ran the opening kickoff all the way for a touchdown in the first minute of the game, I’d have to go with them. 😛 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-super-bowl-pick/390812.md?page=2)
