Big Media Expects Indianapolis Colts To Win Super Bowl 45

PrintThe Big Lead has a nice round-up of all the big media players and their picks for the 2010 NFL season:
The Colts got the most Super Bowl picks, with 16. The Packers could be considered a co-favorite, as 13 members picked them. Ravens are trending as well: 10 media members picked them to win.
Again, part of the whole Super Bowl Or Bust mentality many fans like me have about the Colts this year is that, for the first time, the team seems to have earned the respect of the big media blowhards. For years, people like me complained and ranted about how the Colts were slighted, looked over, and dismissed by most 'players' in big media in favor of inferior teams with more name recognition.
This year, the Colts are the overwhelming favorite to win it all. Now comes the hard part: They better damn well deliver.
Super Bowl or bust. Welcome to the world of heightened expectations.
Go Colts!

The Colts got the most Super Bowl picks, with 16.
Which means absolutely nothing.
I know where you’re coming from with this, yes when it came to talking about the Colts in the past it was mostly negative coverage from big media about the Colts. But like then this to means nothing, other than a case of the big head by some fans.
I agree that it means nothing,
other than maybe giving a confidence builder to the team. IF they even read this stuff.

The Ravens?
With NFL worst DB depth for 6 weeks, and NFL worst CB depth the rest of the way?

oops, ^^^ meant to reply to EMH's jinx comment
but as long as I’m writing…nice to see folks are saying we’ll be successful in the post-seaon; that broken record is getting old. That would truly be the last hurdle for ‘respect’ from them, tho also important for me is another 12+ win season…that streak is pretty sweet.

Seems like it's a contest
for radio/ blogger types to come up with picks that aren’t the Colts because that’s “too easy” or “boring”. Or perhaps their shows are more fantasy focused. The print guys aren’t afraid because I think because they pay attention to the Vegas lines. Even as we were having our ass handed to us in Miami back in February, the Colts were the odds-on fave to repeat and WIN, this season. I don’t believe in the jinx. I believe that media/fan expectations CAN’T effect the outcome (unless you’re the idiot Jets and read and believe EVERY headline written about you and take the resulting feelings to work with you the next day) because of the parity of talent (league- wide) and LUCK.

Well, last year...
A lot of people (probably a lot of the sames ones in this poll) picked the Steelers to repeat. So much for that.
Last year I predicted a 16-0 season.
It’s the same for me now. Except now, I predict a 19-0.
Optimistic? Crazy? Sure, but I dare anyone to tell me that this team can’t do it.

Last piece of Colts merch added to my collection: Riddell Authentic Revolution Helmet!.
This team might be able to do it
but they won’t unless it’s a fluke and Painter can hold his own against both the Raiders and the Tits
How can you not love a team that does this?
They can't do it
Polian will bench Manning once home field is locked up.

While we're on the subject of predictions...
… from Nate Dunlevy (aka Deshawn Zombie) of 18to88:
“Joe Flacco plays at a playoff level all season.
Unfortunately for him, his career playoff rating is 46.5."

The opinion of idiots are of no importance
Who cares what they think or say? They are just filling time/newspaper space in order to make money.
Does this mean the Colts are the NY Yankees of the NFL?
or are the Yankees the Indianapolis Colts of MLB?
