Default Your Super Bowl Predictions

Okay, let's hear your Super Bowl predictions for this season. Here are the teams in the running as of this writing:

NFC
Arizona Cardinals
Minnesota Vikings
Carolina Panthers
New York Giants
Philadelphia Eagles

AFC
San Diego Chargers
Miami Dolphins
Baltimore Ravens
Pittsburgh Steelers
Tennessee Titans


Personally, I'm predicting it will be the Steelers vs. Panthers

Default 2008 - The Cowboys' Year

It can't be both #1 seeds, so I keep flipping between Giants/Steelers and Titans/Panthers. I'll say Titans and Panthers with a Panthers win, 27-13.

It' a tough call any way you go. There's just no team this season which realy jumps out at me as unbeatable. The Titans, Giants and Steelers all have strong running games (moreso the Titans and Giants) and solid defenses. That's usually what it takes to win in the harsh months of December of January.

Still, after the Giants came out of nowhere to win the Super Bowl last season, I figure anything is possible.

I'm still surprised that the Chargers were able to back into the playoffs and end the Colts' winning streak in the first round. Wonder if Norv will be able to hang on to his job for another year?

Dr. Z still has a shot with his Philly prediction. Sadly, the rest of us either picked Tennessee or Carolina, and so our predictions have already been squashed.

LOL.

I feel your pain.

Every time a find that "can't miss" sports bet, I usually end up throwing the remote control at the TV.
