Super Bowl = Green Bay vs Vikings.

Minny would be a tough game forthe Saints (and visa versa), but Favre is due for a 4-6 INT game (or two).

Yeah, I was.

But can you imagine the publicity if that actually happened?

Man, I want to chow down on some turkey and pie while watching this game.
Packers better not screw up the game. I doubt they will since every game is crucial and I don't think they'll underestimate the Lions, pitiful though they are.

Bears/Vikings I'm definately going to predict the Vikings winning that one though I would love an upset. Jay Cutler is messing everything up and every time I watch him play he looks confused. Vikings are on red hot, so I doubt that there will be any contest in that one.

As for Saints and Pats, go Saints!

( Onacara is sitting here laughing wondering if all the folks ready to give Favre the MVP because of his high passer rating realize that it is so high because he throws predominately screen passes and 2 yard dump offs.)

Peyton Manning 2009
8.2 yards per attempt. 11.7 yards per completion.

Brett Favre 2009
8.0 yards per attempt. 11.5 yards per completion.

Harlax...where you getting your numbers?

His average completed pass is 8 yard...and that includes the yards run after he throws.

Favre
Attempts 310
Completions 216
Yards 2482

Manning
Attempts 388
Completions 271
Yards 3171

Do the math yourself if you doubt me. But I just rechecked it and my numbers are correct.

Of course Favre gets credit for yards run after the catch. So does Manning.


The big difference in rating is created by touchdowns versus interceptions. Interceptions kill your rating fast. Both have 21 TDs. Manning has thrown 9 picks and Favre 3. I certainly would not have guessed that one before the season.

The two leading receivers for the Colts, Wayne and Clark, are averaging 12.7 and 11.9 per catch.

The two leading receivers for the Vikings, Rice and Harvin, are averaging 17.5 and 13.9 per catch.

I misread the stats on NFL.com

At least you were/are man enough to admit it. That's why we love you, Onacara. That's why we love you, man.

PS. GO DETROIT!!! I predict Lions 21-Packers-20. A big upset.
