Superbowl Predictions

Since my team didn't even make the playoffs, I don't care too much.... As long as it isn't the Ravens.

I don't really think , not enough playoff experience on the team, but I have to say the Redskins any way.

Betsy

I predict I'll be watching, whomever it is.

I'll be thrilled if the Skins can get there. . . .even more thrilled if they win. . . .and will be rooting all the way.

This weekend I'm rooting for

the Bengals
the Ravens
the Packers
the Redskins

and we'll go from there. . . . .

My SuperBowl prediction is that I won't know who's playing til the Friday before, when I'll get an earful about it at work!  I also predict that I'll go out and about while The Game is on, and the streets will be deserted.

I'm going to say the Colts. They're probably too young of a team to make it that far, but they sure have pulled together and had a great season so far considering what they've overcome. Much better season than people were predicting. I consider a winning season and a playoff appearance to be a win in itself, but a superbowl win sure would be the cherry on the top! Maybe with a little Luck.....

Hmmm...not too many Colorado fans.  I have to go with our Broncos.  Peyton Manning has turned this team into a contender.  I love Tim Tebow and he did get us to post season last year....but Manning has the entire team playing up a level.  Go Broncos!

I want the 4 hours back that I spent watching the Bengals.  Now I know how Charlie Brown feels when Lucy yanks the ball away and he lands flat on his back.

Yeah. . . didn't seem like Houston was working very hard to win either. . .

I was really impressed with how well they did this year. Luck deserves rookie of the year, IMO. They just couldn't compare to the playoff experience of the Ravens, plus the emotion of it being Ray Lewis's home game probably didn't help their chances. It's a shame they didn't get matched up with the Texans, that could've been a great game, I think.

Now my Ravens have Peyton to look forward to. Hope we can get some revenge for the week 15 matchup, which was just an embarassment in the 2nd half.

I'll say Denver, just because a good buddy at work was originally from there. But I've gotten so jaded with football in general and the NFL in particular, that I really have no idea who the favorites are, let alone who I think might win.

I think it will be Packers vs. Broncos...but I'm not sure who will win. That would be a great match-up, though.

I agree about Luck. The other rookies have been great this year as well, but I think Luck has done the most with the least. I knew when I heard that Ray Lewis announced his retirement it was going to be an even harder environment to play in than usual. Oh well, they hung in there until the end and had a great run this season. Congrats to the Ravens!

Having said that, I am going to have to root for the Denver Broncos and Peyton....our beloved past QB. I'd like to see him win another SB before retiring.

That as an ugly game...neither teem seemed to want it.

Betsy

"There's always next year."

Go Packers!

Awwwww, Betsy, I'm soooooo sorry about the 'Skins....

I'm sure RG will be fine. . . . . like Strasburg, he'll come back better than ever. . . .2013 is the year for Washington Sports! (Well, except the Wizards, of course who are just. . . . . .bad . . . . . .)

So. . .next weekend I'm rooting for

Ravens against the Broncos
Packers against 49ers
Texans against Patriots (though I admit to not being very hopeful)
and I have no preference in the Falcons/Seahawks game.

(Nationals Opening Day: April 1 at home against the Marlins. )

How 'bout those Cowboys, Steph? How are they doing in the playoffs? Oh, that's right....


I don't much care who wins the Ravens or the Broncos, don't like either team. Can they both lose?
Go Packers!
Don't care much about Texans vs Patriots, either, but, like Ann, I kinda think the Pats will win.
And I do like the Seahawks (except when they play us), so, Go Seahawks!

RG3 might have an ACL tear, which is pretty serious. Good thing the 'Skins have the best orthopedists in the country on call. *keeps fingers crossed that it's not the ACL.*

Can they do "Tommy John" surgery on a knee?

Did anyone else just see/hear the National Anthem being sung at the Seahawks/Falcon's game?  Who was it?  They were fabulous.
