[treat24]

Manning will have at least 1 completion.

The Bears D will hold Manning under 650 yards passing

Either the Bears or the Colts will score first

Joseph Addai will get over 2 carries

The game will be won by the team that scores more points

The Refs will make at least 1 bad call

The announcers will say something in the middle of a play that has nothing to do with the play

The game will last exactly 60 minutes or more

I will be drunk by halftime

The game will be won by the team that scores more points

Do we have John Madden in the forum???


Hahah

I love listening to him broadcast

"So by kicking the ball through those 2 posts, and over the bottom post, the kicker earned 3 points for his team. Now, if the quarterback could have brought his arm back while throwing the football, then pushed the ball forward in a throwing motion while releasing the ball, making the ball travel towards the receiver and into his hands while he was standing in the end zone, well then the team would have had 6 points and that same kicker would be trying what is called an extra point, which is worth 1 point."

OK, so that's only nine, but that's all I can think of right now.

1. The number of times the fact that both coaches are black is mentioned by the announcers will be greater than the number of touchdown passes thrown by Peyton Manning.

2. The number of unoriginal cookie-cutter car commercials during halftime will be greater than the total number of turnovers in the game.

3. The number of questionable calls by the refs will be greater than the number of points scored by Adam Vinatieri.

4. The number of minutes after official kickoff time that the kickoff actually takes place will be greater than the Bears score in the first quarter.

5. (best Madden voice) "Now, what the team is really trying to do in this situation is to move the ball over the line into the end zone. When that happens, the team scores a touchdown and receives 6 points."

6. The number of memorable ads during halftime will be less than the number of two-pointers converted.

7. I can't think of a number 7.

8. The number of beers consumed by yours truly will be greater than the number of sacks credited to both Urlacher and Freeney.

9. On a scale of one to ten, the enjoyability of the half-time show will be less than the number of points scored by the Detriot Lions in this Super Bowl.

10. The amount of money I lose on bets will be greater than the number of yards from scrimmage gained by Joseph Addai.
