Logic:
The NFC Title game is going through Chicago, with an easy schedule and healthy defense, the Bears will be tough to beat in the weaker NFC. Rex Grossman aside, I feel the Bears will repeat as NFC Champions. I'm not a big fan of the Colts, but once again I think the playoffs will unfold in their favor, mainly avoiding the Chargers. Opening with the Steelers, followed by the feel good story of the year the unproven Titans, the Colts will find themselves in the AFC Title game again. The "new" Patriots have gotten away from there old blue-collar mentality. Bringing in questionable character guys and trying to buy a Super Bowl never works in the NFL and isn't like the Patriots. Based on all that, I had to go with the Colts and once again the AFC will prevail in the Big Game. I am well aware a repeat is unlikely, but I had to follow my gut instinct.
