Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

BigBlueShoe predicts the 2009 playoffs (aka, more stupidity from the writer you barely know and somewhat trust)

For the past three years, I've predicted the Colts road to the Super Bowl. I was semi-right only once (2006) when I picked the Colts to play the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game (a long shot back then since the Colts and Pats were the #3 and #4 seeds, respectively) and later defeat the Saints in the Super Bowl. As you all know, the Bears beat the Saints in the NFC Championship Game and later lost to our Colts in Super Bowl 41.

Unfortunately, my predictions for Super Bowl 42 (Cowboys v. Colts) and Super Bowl 43 (Panthers v. Colts) were about as wrong as one can get. But that certainly hasn't stopped me from continuing to make my yearly Colts Super Bowl predictions, no matter how stupid those predictions make me look after the fact.

So, like the last three seasons, I present my predictions for the Colts road to Super Bowl 44. And yes I am THAT crazy to make these predictions. View them after the jump:

Star-divide

The Colts play the Ravens this weekend, and just as they did in the 2006 playoffs, the Colts will defeat them. Our beloved blue ponies will then move on to the AFC Championship Game where they will face... the Jets.

Yes, I said it: The Jets.

Since the Chargers have destroyed my predictions the last two years, I figured I'd give them another opportunity to make me look even more foolish. I don't think anyone is expecting a Jets club with a rookie QB to go all the way to San Diego and beat a Chargers team that has won 11 straight. But, for an idiot like me, that is exactly the kind of game I will pick against the trend. This is why I avoid mgrex03's excellent pick'em challenges. I'm just too much of an idiot to not pick the obvious winners.

With the Jets defeating the Chargers in a shocker, the Colts would face the team that gained so very much from Bill Polian's edict of "rest the starters regardless of history." It would provide the Colts the kind of redemption rarely offered in sports.It was against the Jets that the Colts rested their starters in Week Sixteen, abandoning a run at an undefeated season that Colts fans very much wanted to see happen.

After a tough game, the Colts will emerge victorious over the Jets and head to Miami for Super Bowl 44 where they will play... the Cardinals.

Yes, the Cardinals will buck the trend (somewhat) of previous Super Bowl losers and return to the big game just one year after falling in a nail-biter to the Steelers. This game would pit Peyton Manning against Kurt Warner, both of whom exploded onto the NFL scene in 1999, ushering in a new era of football that was post-John Elway, post-Dan Marino, and post-Steve Young. In a way, the match-up would provide a fitting bow to a period of football that has been defined by evolved quarterback play. The game would feature two explosive offenses in a re-match of a Week Three game which saw the Colts blow out the Cardinals in Arizona.

And just like in the Week Three match-up, the Colts will win and record their third Super Bowl victory for the franchise.

Hope you enjoy these little predictions, which are basically me just spewing a bunch of senseless nonsense because I'm bored with other Super Bowl predictions. But, just like everyone else here, I love my Colts and I think they have what it takes to win it all. all they have to do now is go out there and prove me a genius. Here's to them doing so.

Go Colts!

I think you’ll be right about the AFC but not so sure about the NFC simply because I’m not quite sure about the Cowboys yet. Also in 2006 the Colts were the #3 seed and the Pats the #4 seed.

If the Colts are to play in Miami...

i kinda hope it isnt the cowboys. i dont know if philly is just that bad or the coyboys were actually that fierce. but their defense looked awesome

by skip2myluke on Jan 15, 2010 12:00 PM EST reply actions  

The Cowboys really have a great defense

And so do the Ravens and the Jets. If we pick the Jets at the AGCCG, on other hand, it’d be a probation of a dispute between any other team of the NFC. Another thing that helped the Cowboys in their WC game was a Philadelphia team which seems too tired to play and willing to take a break. Maybe they’re not as awesome as the Jets or the Ravens defense; maybe i’ll shut my mouth tomorrow (or sunday)

On the NFC side, I’m not sure about the Cards…I’m going to have to take a look at Dallas this weekend (who will beat the Favres).

He speaks the truth. We have a lot of infrastructure that makes us well-prepared to handle earthquakes: buildings on rollers, wood-based construction, few or no brick buildings (lesson learned after 1906), we’re taught from a young age about what to do / where to go in an earthquake. We are definitely much better equipped to handle it.

I just said the very same thing yesterday. the only game the media thinks is going to be a for sure game is the chargers beating the jets and I commented that I thought it would be the opposite of what everybody is thinking because it usually is. same with the cowboys beating the vikings. the two games people are commenting as having a chance for an upset could very well be a rout too. the vikings and colts could (for which nobody thinks is possible but the fans who cheer for them) could win bigger than people think just because their qb’s are much more better than the opposing qb they are facing.

I think the saints and the cardinals goes down to whoever has the ball last. I want the cardinals to win that game. im rooting for the iowa guy who leads them

They may call Favre or Manning "comeback king"

But the Colts defense also has their huge value, allowing few points when it’s needed. The biggest example is the upsetting win over the Patriots (upset for the Pats, of course) where they hold a smoking hot Pats offense to only 2 FG at the last quarter and obligated the Pats to give a 29 yard drive for a Colts TD

Can't use any worse reasoning that Peter King

This from King:

“The Colts have lost in their first playoff game two years in a row, so they’ll be vulnerable.”

What from the loss two years ago makes the Colts vulnerable? No Freeney then? No Michael Turner (or, let’s face it, LDT) now?

Can someone please get me King’s address so I can go to his house and kick him in the nuts—show him what vulnerable really means. And it’s not because he fell off his bike and hit his groin when he was 12, or got whacked there playing HS football. It’s because he didn’t put a cup on the morning I rang his bell.

Anything that makes the Colts vulnerable will have to come from this season, and most likely, the past half season. Ron Winter calling four OT penalties on one drive, or the chance of a coin flip one year ago do NOT make the Colts vulnerable now. A-hole.

I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.

Jets over Chargers

is a very solid pick. I think the Jets defense will give Rivers fits and choke the Chargers running game. The only problem I can see is that Mark Sanchez might not be able to put enough points on the board to overcome San Diego’s offense. On the other hand, Brian Schottenheimer produced a very efficient gameplan for Sanchez last week, so this might be a non-issue. And we saw how another great rushing/defensive team (the ravens) did against the chargers in week 2.
Final Pick: Jets 23, Chargers 20.
The NFC side is harder to predict, but I’d argue that the Saints don’t make it to the Super Bowl. You can talk about momentum vs. resting starters, but New Orleans was drastically regressing as the season wound down. Cowboys are hot right now, but I’m picking them to lose to the Vikings… Which leaves Brett Farve vs. Warner in the NFC championship game. I think this matchup looks a lot like the Cards-Packers game; shitloads of offense, with a couple of key deffensive plays. Arizona won their first playoff rematch, but they lose this one, setting up a Super Bowl you just know Peter King would love.

And the early game on Championship weekend is something to look forward to. The waiting game in ’06 for Pats/Colts was something I hated. I wanted to watch the game right away but I had to wait. No wait this year.

I'm going to the game,

so it’s especially sweet for me that I will get to see the 2nd half of the NFCCG unlike in 2006.

And yeah, media day is the best. Wish I have NFLN back here at Purdue. Gonna have to find a feed for media day.

Same here

The cable subscriber we have doesn’t carry NFLN so I’ll have to go to a friends or catch a feed.

And that’s awesome that you’re going to the game – I’ve been to two Colts games but they’ve both been away games.

Season tickets are awesome.

Back in the summer of 2004, my mom and dad gave my 2 brothers and me a choice. Either we can get season tickets to the Colts (we had already gone to a couple of games, including the 2003 NE one), or we can go to Orlando, Florida or a similar vacation.

I’d like to think that I made the right choice. I will never give up those tickets.

great choice

you can ALWAYS go to Orlando…

How can you not love a team that does this?

This is true

At least flights from NY are like $49

From Indy,

you would have to connect at Detroit, and then fly to Orlando, IIRC.

I think it will be either

Colts vs. Vikings or Colts vs. ‘boys even though I despise them. And we WILL play San Diego again. (It’s meant to be)

Remember our team was pretty beat-up the last time we met. I think our guys our pissed about week 14 and have been putting full effort into this.

Spaz, you're not the only one here with fears and doubts.

I promise you, I won’t sleep well tonight, but what will be, will be. If life were actually certain and/or predictable, it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun.

mainly because i cant move… :P

Cass seems on edge, though. More pissy than normal.. must be nerves

Yea, he's been snippy all day.

I’ve been a little worried about him.
Last night was the only night this week that I’ve slept well. Take care Spaz. We’ll either be happy with a win, or we’ll be lighting torches, and buying pitchforks…

The recent influx of trolls

and bored Titans fans have taken some of that off. This site still needs a good scrubbing down.

Let's just put it just way:

Since I’ve woken up, I’ve seen jay16 go on more personal attacks, a Titans fan post a photoshopped pic of Marv with 2 guns, another Titans fan come here with no intentions of anything but to insult BBS, and a Jags fan come on here for the sole purpose of following someone around the comments to berate him.

Let’s just say I’ve given the flag button a lot of use lately. That’s enough to put anybody a little on edge. I think the cure is a Colts playoff win.

Dude...

your not making any kind of point. Your acting like an immature child. Kicking and screaming for your fucking rattle. Your more than welcome to become a fan of another team if you don’t like the way things are done in Indy. Until you become President, GM, or owner of a team, please shut the hell up.

I agree on your AFC picks

But the healthy well rested #1 seeded Saints will surprise alot of people
We havent had all our starters on the field since we won the NFC south against the pats
Everytime a player got just a little tweek Payton rested him.
So good luck tomorrow on your game and i hope you dont have any injuries
See you in Miami

by mississippisaintsfan on Jan 16, 2010 9:58 AM EST reply actions  

I agree.

But I don’t agree on the Jets pick.

I have Colts, Saints, Chargers, and Cowboys with only Minnesota being the home team that loses.

Lots of teams whose name with start with a C in the playoffs. Except the Chiefs. But they’re the Chiefs.
