Who do you think will win?
My pick has to be the Bears who've had an awesome defence all season long. Typically in the NFL a good defensive team can stiffle a good offensive team and a bad offence can score against an average defence.
I think the Colts do actually have enough in their offence to score against Chcago but a lot depends on Peyton Manning who has messed up in the odd big game here and there. If he does here Brian Urlacher will murder him.
Bears by a nose for me, although I dont think the points margin will be very big either way.

Colts for me to win this.
Bears are too reliant on their running game, and their defence is overrated.
The Colts defence has come on strong during the playoffs, and they are the most balanced team. They also have the best Quarterback and starting Wide Receivers in the league.
They are worthy favourites in my opinion.
Saying that, my NFL betting has been atrocious this year!

Grossman cannot do it I dont think. I watched him when he was at U of Florida and I saw him play some big games and he never got it done.
Manning has been waiting for this for a long time and after the late drive v New England, he has it.
Colts by atleast 10

This whole game depends on Manning. If he plays the way he can, the Colts can win it.

my NFL column which I can't link to has the Colts at Evens (Ladbrokes) with a 7 point handicap
The Colts look like stopping the Bears running game, although a month ago that did not look possible but since then they have shut down Jamal lewis and Larry Johnson, and with that goes the Bears offense which has few receiving threats and a QB that always risks a stinker
I actually like Bears to score less than 21 points at Evens with Ladbrokes too
On the other side of the ball Manning is so creative he will find ways to score. They key to this is Joseph Addai the running back. He makes defenses respect the running option more than they did with Edge James last season which allows Manning a bit more time to find Harrison and the tight ends
Colts for me, comfortably.

Inndianapolis will win, their offense is far superior.
Will be reasonably close though, closer than the betfair is currently suggesting making the Colts 1.43 and the Bears 3.25. Bears are on form.

Bears with the points for me. Indy's WR have slowed a little this season giving them less of a deep threat which means Manning has had to create slower shorter passing drives. In this game he is going to have to go thru Urlacher a lot which will not be easy.
I like the Bears running game here and I think Grossman is better than he has shown on some occasions so with 7 points or more they are my bet.
