We have the first Bears Super Bowl prediction from the media...(that I've seen anyway)

Deion Sanders predicts Bengals over Bearsin the Super Bowl.

 

Well, that settles it. The Bears will not make the playoffs.

[Flames24Rulz]

cubs/packers fans are soft bandwagon fans.

Possible exclusion for people who didn't grow up in a state bordering wisconsin

 

I'm pretty sure all the Cubs/Packers fans on here are either from Illinois or Wisconsin (at least in this thread).

Charlie was 2-0 starting for us last season. We'll be fine for a few games. Our schedule is brutal, but that's what you get for being the champs. We'll be right there in the thick of it and I think we'll win the division. Tomorrow night is going to be interesting. Heinz field is going to be ROCKING.

 

I don't think a Charlie Batch led team will get past a much improved Miami team tonight. We'll see.

 

I have the defending champs taking the loss tonight.

 

I think the Steeler D will be enough. The key will be if we can run the ball. Charlie isn't going to be asked to do too much. I agree that Miami is an up and coming team and I think will make the playoffs. My black and gold colored glasses won't allow me to believe they will lose the opener. I cannot wait for kickoff. Last Thursday was great for my Gamecocks, hopefully tonight will be great for the Steelers.

anybody near Chicago and are fans of the Packers = ick. Should be against the law.

Agreed.

That is a terrible prediction. More for the Bengals than the Bears, though.

Steve Smith may not playthe opener.

[Andy]

Steve Smith may not playthe opener.

So much for the possibility of Carolina having everyone healthy going into week 1 for the first time since 2001. :(

[UMFan83]

I'll throw my hat in the ATS ring since I do it by myself already:

 

Miami (+1) over PITTSBURGH

TAMPA BAY (-3) over Baltimore

New Orleans (+3) over CLEVELAND

CAROLINA (-5) over Atlanta

Seattle (-6.5) over DETROIT

Philadelphia (-5.5) over HOUSTON

TENNESSEE (-2.5) over NY Jets

KANSAS CITY (-2.5) over Cincinnati

ST. LOUIS (+4) over Denver

NEW ENGLAND (-9) over Buffalo

GREEN BAY (+3.5) over Chicago

ARIZONA (-7.5) over San Francisco

Indianapolis (-3.5) over NY GIANTS

WASHINGTON (-4.5) over Minnesota

San Diego (-3) over OAKLAND

 

And for the record, I picked Carolina over KC in the Super Bowl.

 

Booooo

Offtopic, but does anyone ever ask themselves why Boo is universally accepted as a sign of distate. In reality it's just a silly sound.

 

All of the world's knowledge can be found on wikipedia:

Go Dolphins!

Ronnie Brown, getting my fantasy team off to a good start! I really wish Dante could get the ball to Chambers more though.

Same...Chambers is my only reason for watching this game.

 

Culpepper is looking pretty good.

Well 2 of those attempted TD passes were at Chambers...

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Miami puts another TD on the board and lead 17-14.

I miss Marty Booker, he was one of my favorites.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nooo, Parker gets taken out after getting so close to the end zone.

 

And they fumble away the snap.

[Jazz]

Oh football, how I missed you.

[UMFan83]

I like Adewale Ogunleye better

Hahaha, talk about a trade everyone knew was bad as soon as it went down

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow, that's a bad break for Saban and the 'Fins.

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, that's a bad break for Saban and the 'Fins.

Saban should have thrown it much earlier though and ahead of the ref.

[Andy]

Wow, that's a bad break for Saban and the 'Fins.

No it isn't. It's a stupid play. They should've been able to get that challenge on the field much quicker than they did.

[YearofDaCubs]

Polumalu is good.
