Sooooo........Throw Back Thursday. Is it too early to revisit SB predictions from NFL's panel of distinguished experts?
Super Bowl 50 predictions: Packers, Colts among picks - NFL.com
SUPER BOWL 50
Judy Battista: Packers over Colts. Who cares about shaky defenses? Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck let it rip in a classic shootout, with Rodgers refusing to hand the baton of greatest active quarterback to Luck just yet.
Jeffri Chadiha: Colts over Seahawks. The Seahawks aren't as strong as they've been in the past, even with Jimmy Graham in the fold. Andrew Luck has too many weapons to be stopped in this contest.
Brian Billick: Ravens over Seahawks. John Harbaugh has more wins in his seven years as a head coach than anyone in that same span not named Bill Belichick -- and he will out-coach Pete Carroll in another heartbreaking last-second loss for the Seahawks.
Michael Silver: Packers over Colts. Cal > Stanford. That is all.
Colleen Wolfe: Colts over Packers. Quarterbackpalooza. Set your DVRs for all the quarterback goodness in this game. Aaron Rodgers plays well; Andrew Luck plays better. Indy wins it all and Luck captures his first title.
Steve Wyche: Seahawks over Steelers. The Legion of Boom will be unlike any secondary this great offense has had to deal with -- and Niners fans have to watch the Seahawks celebrate on their home field. Ouch.
Gil Brandt: Packers over Patriots. Aaron Rodgers shows why he's the best quarterback in the NFL in what should be a high-scoring game.
Adam Schein: Packers over Colts. A classic Super Bowl gets a vintage result. Aaron Rodgers beatsAndrew Luck in a shootout!
Charley Casserly: Eagles over Colts. Chip Kelly's Sam Bradford gamble pays off in the form of aSuper Bowl title, and Bradford cashes in as a free agent.
Elliot Harrison: Packers over Colts.Aaron Rodgers takes home his secondSuper Bowl MVP trophy, though Eddie Lacy is the key to Super Bowl 50. Indy's so-so run defense catches up to it against a talented offensive line, and Green Bay wins its fifth title.
Marc Sessler: Eagles over Colts.Indy's less-than-stellar defense won't have the men to slow Chip Kelly's offense. This game won't be close.
Dave Dameshek: Seahawks over Chiefs. Former AFC West rivals reunite on the world stage, where the 'Hawks make like Dave Krieg eluding Derrick Thomas and slip past Andy Reid's gang.
Bucky Brooks: Seahawks over Colts. The Seahawks pummel Andrew Luck and Co. behind an impressive effort from the Legion of Boom. Sticky coverage from Richard Sherman and Cary Williamsallows the defensive line to beat up Luck in the pocket. With the spectacular passer unable to find his rhythm, the Colts fall apart in the second half.
Besides the ever popular Colts the other AFC picks were the Steelers, Ravens and Chiefs. Combined record of these 4 teams? 8-12. On the NFC side the Seagulls are 2-3 and still have to face ARZ twice. If Palmer can stay upright for a full schedule I like them splitting with SEA and taking that div. I like Palmer and Fitzgerald and an NFC title match between them and GB would be a good game.
On a side note, always liked the only guy who picked us to be there Gil Brandt. One of the first guys nationally to cast some doubt about the biggest overblown and still ongoing story in sports history because Roger Goodell is a meglomaniacal egomaniac hell bent on affirming his dictitorial powers as the Supreme Overlord. Of a game, that is. But I digress:
