Way I see it, keys to victory in the Bears Saints game will be the Bears D stepping the fuck up like they did at the end of the Seahawks game, only doing it much sooner. Also Grossman has to be error free, and it will greatly help if he can connect on a long bomb early on to deflate New Orleans.
As for the Colts Patriots, Manning will have to have a good game, not a phenomenal one. The defense will have to continue its improved performance, and Viniateri will take care of the rest. Pats will need Brady to return to form and for its secondary to protect against the deep threat. They shouldn't have too much trouble stopping the run.
My prediction is Colts vs. Bears, with Bears winning the Superbowl on a Rex Grossman touchdown 21-17.
