Sure, Pittsburgh is hot, but Seattle is too, hasdominated opponents in almost every statistical category thatit takes to win games and has an underrated defense to boot. Theirgetting no respect!

This game could have been a pick'em and we'dstill have taken them. Consider the 4 points as a gift becauseeven if they do lose it's very likely that it COULD be by a fieldgoal. Then again, that's why they play the game. Anything canhappen, don't bet over your head, grab some brewskies, chips anddips and enjoy the big game! Good luck!

2006 Ultimatecapper Preseason Staff Predictions:

It's a no brainer that the Colts look tough but did they peak too early? Can the Chicago Bears muster up enough offense to compete vs. a team like the Colts? Will Seattle's receiving corps be healthy enough to lead them to the promise land? Will their underrated defense keep doing the job? These are all questions that once answered will determine the Super Bowl winner this year.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to notice that the Colts have been stellar this year. Their not a lock to win the big one by any means though, especially since injuries took a toll on them late in the season including stud WR Marvin Harrison who has a broken hand.

The Bears have installed Rex Grossman as their new starter. We have to question this though. Kyle Orton may have been erratic at times however he did make some big plays and lead this team to a 10-4 record before Lovie Smith just "gave" Grossman the job. Pretty questionable move. Ever heard the old addage: "If it ain't broke don't fix it?" Well we have and we're still scratching our heads about this move.

Next we move on to Seattle...This team is rock solid. They are our darkhorse to win it all. With homefield advantage throughout, they are lookin' real good.

In summary, any one of these three teams has a real good shot. In our opinion all three are head and shoulders above the rest and should all be considered as potential Super Bowl winners this year.
