So, we have our Super Bowl contest set. Way back in September, I didn’t expect the Bears to take the NFC. I really thought this was Philadelphia’s year. As far as the AFC is concerned, there were so many contenders, I feel like I’ve seen the Super Bowl twice already this year!

Looking at the matchups, I give the defensive nod to the Bears - unfortunately, we’ll have to wait and see if the offense shows up. I give a huge edge to Peyton Manning at QB. Indy fans held their collective breath when Manning appeared to injure the thumb on his throwing hand Sunday night. It appears not serious and with a 2-week healing period, he'll be 100%. And if it comes down to a clutch field goal, Adam Vinatieri comes out on top hands down. Too bad either coach has to lose - a very even matchup and frankly, two black coaches vying for top honours is long overdue in the NFL.

The Super Bowl is always a ratings winner, but it’s rarely a game for the ages like Sunday night’s battle in Indianapolis. As for the Bears, they’re thinking force the turnovers and put the heat on Manning. If Indianapolis can get its running game going, control the clock and stay away from the turnovers, we will finally see Peyton Manning hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy. Any other outcome would be a shame - because it’s now or never for Indianapolis. The window of opportunity is closing.
