It's Gonna Be 1985 All Over Again



It's championship weekend, and it's time to make picks that I'm quite sure will be dead wrong.














New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears (Bears -2.5)

As of this moment, the good folks over at the weather channel are predicting snow for late Sunday afternoon at the spaceship. If this forecast indeed comes to fruition, the Saints may be in a bit of trouble. However, the once-feared Bears defense is a shell of its former self, particularly against the run ever since Tommy Harris went down, which means the Saints will look to drop an enormous Deuce and flash some Bush all over the Bears front 7. Could get a little messy.

If there's snow on the ground, I give this one to the Bears: 23-17

No snow, Saints expose a weak Bears defense: 27-17

















New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts (Colts -3)

Ah, yes. Nothing like a Sunday night AFC championship game played in a fuckin' dome. Fuck you, Colts.

I think this one's pretty simple. Brady has a 10-0 career record in domes. Manning throws a late pick, and the Patriots show that it doesn't matter who the fuck is on their team as Gostkowski pulls a Vinatieri and ends the game with a 42 yarder.

Pats win: 27-24

By the way, shouldn't the Pats totally go back to these uniforms?
