Out with injury by 8th game.Time for my yearly thread of Superbowl predictions! Last year I picked the 49ers to win it all. Close but no cigar.
My predictions in the past has been pretty solid overall...
2011/2012 season predictions
2010/2011 season predictions
But all that crap is in the past. Let's get right to it.
This year in the Superbowl I foresee...(hmm, still doing research as I'm posting this thread)...
The Denver Broncos vs. San Fransisco 49ers with Peyton taking home the Lombardi trophy!
That's what I came up with. I hate to go with the easy pick Superbowl favorites (originally was thinking maybe Pittsburgh), but I could find no reason why the Broncos shouldn't be the best team in the league this year. They got Peyton Manning, 3 great WRs in Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, and Eric Decker. They also got a veteran head coach, and a pretty solid defense (although perhaps not as good as last year).
Tough to pick the NFC this year. There's Green Bay, 49ers, Seattle, Atlanta, The Saints with their head coach back. Going with the 49ers again (not exactly a risky pick, either :hmm with berserker Jim Harbaugh at the helm. That fantastic defense and explosive offense...they will be a tough match for the Broncos.
But of course, all predictions are based on players/teams staying healthy which is certainly never guaranteed in the NFL. Also possible I might get the itch to change one of my Superbowl teams before the season officially starts (Sept 5th). Once the season starts, all my predictions are then set in stone!
Now it's your turn! Who do you see in the Superbowl this season?
Justin Bieber will be electrocuted during the half time game show.
As much as I hate him, Brady embarrasses Peyton in the AFC championship...because that's what he tends to do.
anyway...Niners over whatever inferior team the AFC poops out this season.
People keep talking about this but so far from the pre-season it looks like the Ravens defense will be better than last year. Their biggest losses have been Anquan Boldin and Dennis Pitta. I think the receiver/tight end situation will be their biggest weakness, not defense.
Though, like IndyColtsFan I don't think they were the best team in the league last year, they got on a Giants-like Superbowl run and Flacco was pro as fuck (for lack of a better term) in the playoffs.
Except, of course, the last AFC Championship they met in.
NFC will come down to the 49ers, Green Bay, and the Giants. The AFC will come down to the Ravens and Broncos. I don't think the Patriots can beat either on most days.
The Falcons won't make it, and since the Texans are the Falcons of the AFC, they won't either.
I have to agree, and even though Ravens fans are going to jump all over me, I'll say it -- the 49ers were the better team last year. The better team doesn't always win the Super Bowl - see Patriots in SB 42, Colts in SB 44, Bills in SB 25 -- the list goes on and on.

Green Bay cut Vince Young a couple days ago claiming he didn't have enough time to learn their system, then today they bring in Seneca Wallace who has ZERO time to learn their system to replace him? I'm confused. They also cut Rodgers' other backup so Rodgers had no backups at all for a while yesterday. Green Bay acting like the Jets, it seems. They better hope Rodgers stays healthy

And the Colts were the better team in SB 44? Yeah right
The Colts were the better team -- sorry, but it is true. I have no doubt that if there were no injuries and the Saints and Colts played 10 times that year, the Colts win 7 times.
A Broncos/49ers Superbowl, you say?!
Kinda the least exciting Superbowl pick to make though. I feel bad about it, It's like the equivalent of picking 4 number 1 seeds in a NCAA tournament bracket. Oh well. Will see how the season plays out, anything can happen. Last year my Houston/49ers pick was looking pretty good most of the year.
Says the biased Colts fan. I'm a Falcons fan and I hate the Saints but they were the better team.
