    As a season ticket holder for the Baltimore Ravens I think I'm going to have to go with the home team.

    My prediction.......

    13-3 regular season record

    Ravens victorious over the Eagles in Superbowl!!!!!

    Die Hard Chicago Bears Fan -even out here in Northern Kah-lee-forn-ya.
    Despite losing Grossman at qb- I say 10-6, with a shot at a wild card and an ignominous beating in the first round of the playoffs.

    Re: Any football fans out there????

    Well, considering my team WAS an early favorite by many to make it to the Superbowl , yet lost on opening day...Minnesota - they make to the playoffs, but blow it again just shy of the big one.

    Now for team #2: The Colts, they have a chance to go all the weay this year. Hopefully I will get to shoot a game or two again this year too. I would have shot this weeks game but since Todd Yoder is out for the season they don't need anything on him. He's a local boy. I heard he really liked the shot I got of him last year.

    I do know I will be shooting the IU vs Minnesota college game in November...that will be fun!

    Being in Wisconsin, how can I not say the Packers. We'll watch the games, and we'll cross our fingers, but sadly, I don't think this is going to be the year. Unless the football gods decide Favre needs one more Superbowl ring before he retires...

    Living in the Baltimore area but STILL a Colts fan. I think my patience through all of the miserable years has finally paid off. I think the Colts will beat Philly in the big dance.

    The Patriots will make it 4 out of the last 5!!!!! Brady is looking better than ever and he has more weapons to throw to.

    A friend of mine has said it will be Colts vs Vikings....the Vikings finally winning the big one on a Manning interception
    Problem is I like both teams.... grew up in Mennesota, live in Indiana now, get to a Colts game occasionally when the paper gets photo credentials

    Giants fan here, as long as I can remember. I grew up halfway between Philly and NYC, my dad being a Red Sox fan, we went to Yankee Stadium instead of going to Philly. So, I wound up getting hooked on the Yanks, then the Giants, Knicks, and Rangers. Go, Big Blue!

    I gotta say the Colts are gonna win it. I love the Bears, but the Cubs fan in me is already saying better luck next year.

    Manning is the best Quarterback in the league and probably one of the all-time greatest players in that position. He's got a supporting cast, and it looks like he might have a defense to help him out this year. Of course, he only played the Ravens. It's not like they're known for offense. Just Kidding!

    Watching Manning play live here in Baltimore was a real treat. He truly is an awesome quarterback as well as a great leader.

    As far as the Ravens......I think they have some great talent on offense but they are lacking in tha QB area......BIGTIME!!!!!!
    Once the QB position gets straight I do think It will hard to beat them!!

    Well hopefully the paper will get me to a game or two again this year . Last year I almost got run over by Marvin Harrison after a TD pass from Manning. A relative saw it on ESPN or something and called me wondering if it really was me...and why I was there. They thought I still lived in PA...not since 1993!
    Anyway, I hope to get some shots of Manning. I will have to dig up one shot from the Jags game last year... everyone will get a kick out of it...
