So, despite a complete meltdown in Week One, it is Mark’s ineptitude and Sean’s satirically late entrance into our football picks that allow me to challenge Evan for the crown. I’d like to congratulate Evan on a great season and compliment him on that pretty pink sweater he always wears around the office. It gets funnier the later at night we stay here.

As far as the game goes, Evan’s preseason pick of Dallas against Baltimore looked pretty decent ‘ until Tony Romo showed he is not Tom Brady and the Ravens showed that you need some offense to win more than one Super Bowl. Baltimore lost to a Colts team that is riding high and following the same pattern of several past Super Bowl champs.

Everyone wrote them off.

Be it the Broncos of the late ’90s, the Patriots a few years ago or the Steelers just last year, the most unified and often most determined team is the one no one gave a chance. The Colts have been favorites for a few years now, but just when people stopped paying attention, they turned on the jets.

The Bears are a good team, but something’s just missing, and has been all year. If the Colts’ offensive line can protect Peyton Manning long enough for him to throw away from the Chicago linebackers and the Indianapolis special teams can keep Devin Hester from beating it, the Colts should finally win their Super Bowl, and do it in the year when everyone had finally given up on them.

Colts 27, Bears 16

MVP: Joseph Addai
