at the beginning of the houston v chicago game they said these two teams could be the superbowl but even with my limited capacity i've seen chicago twice and they just don't score when i think they should on drive after drive,but they have only been on my telly twice

on a side note too the BBC game i get on a monday was a blessing with no presenters and a stadium feed and now for the pittsburgh game they have got two idiots in the smallest studio in the world blithering on about nothing while i could be watching the stadium and crowd live,what a waste of my licence money paying idiots to jabber on about nothing

So-called experts are usually all over teams with high winning records, completely ignoring how these records came to be. Houston and Chicago are good teams, no doubt, but they aren't infallible. Although Houston is definitely a better candidate for the Super Bowl, because the AFC is clearly the weaker conference this season.

Also, Chicago is the team in the league that scores the most points on defense by far (meaning they return fumbles and interceptions for touchdowns). If the offense is on their own, the team isn't capable of driving the score up. Much of Chicago's success this season is owed to the defense which either returned turnovers for points or got their offense into good field position through turnovers.

I actually agree with all of this.  The Bears need to get their offense going or they will be in big trouble come playoff time.  They are a good team, but you can't consistently beat playoff caliber teams while depending on your defense.  

I am going to hold off on my picks for a little while so I can figure out which teams QBs are and aren't playing.
