My pick is the Eagles, and I hope they win, but In reality I think the pats will win it.

Unfortuantely, I'm sure it will be the Patriots yet again. I'd love to see the Eagles do it though.

I'll have to go with New England.

They are a well-disciplined, focused team with experience in the big games. They took apart two of the best teams the NFL has seen in recent years.

I have enjoyed the coaching of Belliceck and the general play of the Pats over the last four years even though I am not a fan. I am however a native of Philly and therefore my bias comes to the forefront. I also believe the Iggles are due....waaaaay overdue in fact.

Eagles win in the tightest SB to date.

As a Jets fan I hate the Pats, but.... with that being said, I think the Pats have a more steady team. The Eagles can be a bit more explosive, but the overall better, steady team is the Pats. Very tight game and I think the best SB in a long time.

I have to go with the Patties, although since I am a Dolphin fan I do not like them. They have an excellent coach, and their prime excellence comes from one primary factor: Teamwork. Whether it's a starter or a backup, each player fits the scheme perfectly and executes nearly flawlessly.

That all being said, however, I'd like to see the Eagles win their first Superbowl.

As a 'Skins fan I cannot bear to root for the Iggles. The emotional aspects aside I still think NE will win. They've been there before, the team seems tight and plays well together. Philly overcame a big hurdle in finally winning the NFC, and my feeling is they might be in for a letdown. TO, even if he does play, won't be a factor coming back from a fracture, and TE Lewis is out. McNabb and Westbrook are studs, but Brady just quietly wins. Give Belichick 2 weeks to prepare and I like the Pats, although the early number seems awfully high.

I think I already have enough cliches so I'll stop, but I am looking forward to the game!

Explain my rationale?

Donavan McNab went to my second favorite university. If he was a Husker, I'd bet the house on him. Being he's an Orangeman, I'll wager an old dry Cuban cigar. I loved my time at SU...snow...did I mention snow? Many excellent watering holes, and snow.

Well, if they're going to show a boob this year, I hope we can do a little better than Janet Jackson.

Pat's.

and explain your rationale: They are the best team. Have the best players. One of the few teams where the maj pf players have not jumped ship for higher paying teams.

RAT OUT!!!

I'll take that bet if you're serious. Not sure how old and dry the one you'll get if you win is, but I believe I have a few in stock.
