Super Bowl XLI
First of all I would like to congratulate Tony Dungy & Lovie Smith on becoming the first African-American coaches to take their respected teams to the Super Bowl in NFL history. Super Bowl XLI will feature the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts who would've imagined these 2 teams matched up for this year's super bowl. Let's take a look at how these 2 teams match up: I will be the first to admit that I didn't think Chicago would get by New Orleans in the NFC championship game but being at home has its advantages. On the other side of the coin, the Indianapolis Colts have been favored to reach the Super Bowl the last couple of years have finally gotten over the hump. I will dissect these 2 teams strengths & weaknesses and give my prediction for Super Bowl XLI.

RB's
Thomas Jones/ Cedric Benson - Thomas Jones played the game of his life against NO playing with passion and persistence; Cedric Benson runs with power and has good vision.
Joseph Addai/ Dominick Rhodes - Joseph Addai has impressed me the rookie runs with more power and speed than his scouting report predicted, Dominick Rhodes is the change of pace back he has very good hands coming out of the back field.
Advantage: Chicago

QB
Peyton Manning - what more can you say about this guy he has the whole world believing him now, this guy has a rocket for an arm and the work ethic of a future hall of famer. He's clearly in a class by himself after outplaying his counterpart Tom Brady in the AFC championship game I don't think Rex Grossman can keep pace.
Rex Grossman - rex has to play the best game of his life to keep pace with Peyton & the colts, maybe rex will be motivated since the game is in south Florida where he played his college ball. Rex has been carried by his defense all season long but the Cinderella story is over.
Advantage: Indianapolis

Keys to the Game : Can the Chicago Bears hard-hitting defense control the high-octane offense of the colts? If Rex Grossman don't get off to a good start it could be a blow out, trust me Chicago has got to contain this high scoring offense early and often. Another point of interest will be on special teams can the colts contain Devin Hester the dangerous return man for Chicago, he can score at any given time he touches the ball so Beware.

Prediction : I believe Indy will run away with this game by a 17-20 point advantage;
Indy 38- Chicago 20.
