I earlier tackled how the Indianapolis Colts will win the Super Bowl (they are currently seven point favorites). Now I will analyze why the other team in this contest, Da Bears, will win tomorrow's sporting match.
Why Da Bears Will Win
Much has been said about the Bears' vaunted defense. However, the Bears are only third in points allowed per game. Third! The '85 Bears weren't even ranked defensively because to rank that team would be to admit that it was even slightly possible that a team could be better defensively than them. Anyway, this present incarnation of the Bears defense is pretty good. Like the Colts, they play a Cover 2, except with 11 guys. Their corners have been known to be terrible, which is probably bad considering Indy's receivers are faster and more nimbler than the average cheetah. However, they make up for this deficiency with their anchor on defense, Brian Urlacher. He has the nimbleness of a corner, the strength of an offensive lineman, the speed of a safety, and the mind of a manatee. Combined in one package, he is the single most dangerous man on earth. That alone should tilt the contest in the Bears' favor.
On offense, Rex Grossman continues to prove why he should be mentioned in the same sentence as his grandfather, who was a punter or something. After shattering the mark for more negative stats than extremely easily obtained positive stats in a game, Grossman looks to exorcise his demons and live up to all the hype from four seasons ago, when he threw for 200 yards in 12 seconds against the Lions. The Bears have two good running backs, although they could have had a good running back that they already had and a good player at another position, but they decided to draft another running back. The presence of these two running backs and Grossman's inability to throw the ball to an open receiver dictate that the Bears will probably run it a lot, with Grossman being asked to make a 15-yard completion once a quarter.
