Saints/Bears and Colts/Patriots with spreads (your picks)

From John Tomase of the Boston Herald on it's Point After blog.

 

Well, maybe Polian can tell his offensive linemen to hold like crazy until their receivers can break free.

 

If Bears and Patriots play in the SB, will the Pats let Tony Eason and Steve Grogan watch from the sidelines? Whenever I see the Bears-Pats Super Bowl on NFL Films, the funniest thing is when they show the Bears' big point total on the scoreboard and there's a wide-eyed Grogan staring at it with a deer in the headlights look!

 

That was me. That said, I still like the Saints. This simply looks like it's meant to me.

I'm also with you on the Colts. The Pats played their Super Bowl last week, and the Colts are hungry to prove that they can do it for once.

 

I have to go with the Saints. More ways to score, more ways to move the ball.
In the real game, there's nothing to choose between the Colts and Pats I can see. It'll come down to the bounce of the ball. That's why, although I believe Indy matches up far better with New England than the Chargers did, I'm picking the Pats. Who does more with bouncing balls than they?
Let's face it. Lady Luck throws herself at Brady just like all the other ladies out there.

 

Don't forget Curtis PEnis.

 

I agree. All the other times they've beaten a No. 1 seed on the road, they've lost the next game. Oh, nevermind.

 

Indeed. The SI article with the photo of him with his stripper bride, and the accompanying story that detailed his wedding day lecture to his family about the evil lives they led as he took his vows with a stripper, was absolutely priceless.

In that story, his agent - a bigwig in Curtis Anus' church, bragged about his prowess as an agent, since "If you can read and understand the collective bargaining agreement, guess what? You can be an agent!"

Now I'm off to seek a link to that story.

 

Wow, that Enis pick was a flop. All kinds of needs on both sides of the ball, so they take a RB with limited skills.

 

Take the Pats and Saints and tease the Pats and Saints.

You may also want to take the money line on the Pats (+$145) - the Saints money line at +$110 ain't worth it

 

The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers!

 

Want: Bears and Colts

Picks: Bears and Colts.

These are as shaky of picks as I've felt in awhile, definitely 'heart over head' picks. I feel better about the Colts, as crazy as that might sound given the Pats/Colts postseason history. I just hope the Chicago cold and Sexy Rexy can come through.

If I have to read one more Peter King or Bill Simmons Pats written fellation, I'm going to 'jam an icepick in my retina.' The Pats must lose, they just have to. Did ANYBODY think that the first 3+ pages of King's MMQB were going to be anything besides a Pats love-fest. I can't take any more of this crap, I really can't.

Same for the Saints. There are so damn many people using the Katrina thing as a surrogate for their "Reggie Bush - Superstar," hype-swallowing bunk that I'm just praying that the Bears win. If N.O. gets to the Super Bowl, it's going to drive me to the toilet bowl, face-first, repeatedly. I hope gametime temperature is like 10 degrees. I'm also getting tired of Sean Payton, "America's Team," etc. I love McCallister and Colston, like Horn, and am very sympathetic for Katrina. Brees has been unbelievable this year as well.

But I don't want the next MMQB to be 5 pages about the Pats' greatness, and the final 2 pages about how PK's pick for MVP was the 'correct' choice, with a inane paragraph or two about coffee and how cramped a plane flight was in between. Ok, we'll get the coffee and flight stuff anyway, but I really could live without the other stuff.
