Daaaaaaaaa Bears!
OK, so I know I said I would support Indy if they made it to the Super Bowl. They’re a good team, that just got kicked around by the Patriots at the end of every season. Why not? Indy deserves it. This is Peyton’s year.
I lied.
Lately, I found myself wishing the plane carrying the Bears would crash into the plane carrying the Colts. But oh well.
So I’m not rooting for Indy at the Super Bowl this year. I will, however, bet money on them to win. The actuary in me always wants to hedge. So I figure if I have to endure the pain of watching Indianapolis win the Super Bowl, then I should at least be able to make some money off it. 
This is not to say that I’m a Bears fan. I still haven’t forgotton how they beat up on the Patriots 46-10 in Super Bowl XX (the largest Super Bowl margin of victory at the time). But I figure most of the 1986 team has retired, along with that damned Super Bowl shuffle.
So, regretably, let’s go Bears.

Bears will win in some sort of blowout, simply because each of these writers believes the Bears will lose…

They all make “logical” arguments as to why Indy will win. I love it when any game goes against “logic.”
I’ll be rooting against these writers. No one is an ‘expert’ about a future event.
Cynically yours,

What was the interesting thing? Oh! That. Yeah. I should have guessed. This post is good, but not good enough.
