The two teams that will play in the next Super Bowl will be?

[NJmaverick]

who will be in the Super Bowl? Please explain why.

[HopeHoops]

1. The Penguins and the White Sox

I wonder who will get more baskets.

[NJmaverick]

3. ha ha ha

[MineralMan]

2. Absolutely not the Minnesota Visqueens.

[NJmaverick]

4. Even if they get Bret?

[MineralMan]

5. Especially...

They're talking about trading Jackson if they get Farve . That way, when Farve blows his arm out halfway through the season, they won't even have a lousy backup to take over.

10-6 at best this season, but could even be worse.

It's possible they'll make the playoffs, where they will do the usual and lose in the first round.

Buncha hosers!

[Mr. Ected]

7. What if the Vikes signed Michael Vick too?

And jettisoned Tavaris Jackson?

It would certainly complicate matters for defenses with Peterson, Vick and Favre in the backfield and Percy Harvin streaking downfield.

[MineralMan]

8. Doesn't matter. You misunderstand the Visqueens' strategy.

They will lose, regardless of what the heck they do. They didn't get their new stadium, and they're pissed. It's off to somewhere else after the 2011 season. L.A., probably. There's absolutely no chance of a new stadium here...that time has passed, and the Metrodome is just not the thing.

Farve is just in the mix to sell tickets. He's done, and should stay retired. As for the rest, it really doesn't matter.

Note: This is an unpopular view here in the Twin Cities. It is, however, my prediction.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. Don't they have Booty?

He might step up.
or not.

[Mr. Ected]

6. I've got the Chargers in the AFC

And the upstart Atlanta Falcons in the NFC.

Dark horses, I know, but I like to think outside the box.

[NJmaverick]

23. I have a feeling the Falcons and the Ravens

have a risk of being one season wonders. Beyond that I don't see the Chargers getting past the Pats (unless MadinMaryland's Alaskan curse comes true).

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. The WInner and The Loser

[mvd]

10. I have my Eagles in the NFC

McNabb has new weapons that will show a lot of talent, the offensive line will be better, and the young defense has more experience.

In the AFC, I might as well make a prediction, too - Tennessee. I think they are due.

[rcrush]

11. Robots vs the Mutants.

[47of74]

12. Hopefully da Bears!

With da Bears winning by a score of 84-3.

[JTG of the PRB]

17. With Crybaby Cutler in charge? Good luck with that.

:P

[fNord]

20. Seconded!

:applause:

[KamaAina]

13. The NFC champion and the AFC champion

because that's the format of the Super Bowl. :P

[madinmaryland]

14. I have to rule the Patriots out this year, based on this photo...

:shrug:

[NJmaverick]

21. LOL! THe kiss of death

[Tikki]

16. One of them will be the San Diego Chargers....n/t

[47of74]

19. I don't think so.

[madinmaryland]

25. And the reason why it will NOT be the Chargers...

[NJmaverick]

26. Which is similar to why it will not be the Cowboys

:evilgrin: :hi:

[Zavulon]

18. Probably Pats and Eagles.

I simply don't see anyone in the NFC who can match up with Philly over the course of a season. Of course, McNabb and Westbrook could both go down in the first game, but given reasonable health luck I see Philly winning the NFC with surprising ease.

The Pats went 11-5 with their backup QB starting the last 15 games. They're still the class of the AFC.

[NJmaverick]

22. Look to the Meadowlands

than you will see a team that can match up with Philly all season long!

[Zavulon]

27. I don't think either team from the Meadowlands can, but I hope you're right.

I don't like any of the three teams, but I do like the Giants better than the Eagles. Can't stand the Jets.

[rurallib]

24. Edmonton Eskimos and the Toronto Argonauts

[jobycom]

28. New Orleans Saints and the Tennessee Titans.

Why? Reggie Bush will be injured on the opening drive of game one, freeing the Saints from having to prove they didn't once again make a bad superstud running back pick, which will allow them to use the real talent on their team. They will go 1 -4, and then go 8-3 the rest of the season. This will win their sorry-ass division, and they will hit the playoffs where they will easily dispatch the Jason Garret-led Cowboys as a wild card, the division "champion" Phildelphia Eagles, and the Chicago Bears, who will be starting Ryan Leaf in his first game as their fifth quarterback, after Jake Plummer--or is it Jay Cutler?--goes down in game one to an errant spitball from the stands, and after the next three quarterbacks resign in unison during the playoffs for a lucrative deal performing in "Billy Mays: The Musical" in Vegas.

The Titans will go 0-4, then for no explicable reason whatsoever will win the rest of the games, roaring into the playoffs. They will have a bye week, defeat the Patriots in a nail-biter in Nashville when Kerry Collins goes down with three minutes in the fourth quarter, and Vince Young runs for three touchdowns on three possessions in three minutes to win 29 (two point conversion--also run in by Vince) to 28 as the clock runs out, and then will defeat the Miami Dolphins, who make the AFC Championship game via the wild card route after beating Norv Turner's Chargers (and who doesn't?), and the Pittsburgh Steelers (without Big Ben, who decides to quit football and run for Congress advocating a national mandatory helmet law after his second life-threatening accident).

The Saints win when Reggie Bush comes into the game in the final minute, takes a direct snap on his first touch, and runs 96 yards for the winning touchdown, wiping out Vince Young's six touchdown come-from-behind-in-the-fourth-quarter performance, and avenging through shear luck his Rose Bowl loss to Vince Young's Longhorns.
