[Vision2020] Da Bears

[Tom Hansen]

Let me preface my prediction with a short statement.

I am an Idaho Vandal fan (and alum) and have been since my wedding vows (my
spouse attended UI in the late 60s) in 1973.  I am an Oakland Raiders
"fan"atic and have been one since (again, 1973).  

It is safe to assume, judging by my collegiate and NFL preferences, that
losing is not merely a disappointment.  It is a lifestyle. 

As such, I will not predict the winners.  I will forecast the losers.

New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears
Although the Bear defense (ranked third in the NFL) will struggle against
Drew Brees, Deuce McAllister, and Reggie Bush, the wind and snow forecast
for next weekend will be too much of an obstacle for the southern indoor
Saints.  Hansen's Losers - Saints (by 3)

New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts
Although the Colts' scoring offense was limited to Adam Vinatieri's toe and
five field goals against the Ravens last week, Payton Manning has been
waiting for this opportunity since the first day he signed an NFL contract.
Payton Manning, Marvin Harrison, and Jason Addai will serve up a gridiron
trifecta that will make the 1974 Steelers blush.  Hansen's Losers - Patriots
(by 10)

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

I think the Colts will fall to the Patriots.  As a Steeler fan, twice I've 
watched the Patriots invade Pittsburgh and proceed to the Superbowl.

So how will your Bears do against the Pats?
