Early prediction

Super Bowl XXXIX will be a crisp game dominated by the defenses. And Belichick and Johnson will have those defenses play very conservatively. There won't be any turnovers, there might not be any sacks, and there will be fewer than 10 blitzes by both teams combined. Each team will score one touchdown, and two fantastic kickers will do the rest of the scoring. McNabb hits L.J. Smith before halftime for a 7-3 Eagles lead, and Corey Dillon takes the Patriots' lead back in the 3rd quarter with a 12-yard run. Almost everything after that is David Akers. The final play of the game is Adam Vinatieri's attempted Super Bowl record 58-yard field goal hitting the crossbar and bouncing back into the Eagles' end zone.

Eagles 16, Patriots 13

I hope that's not the final score. The SuperBowl pool I entered has me as different numbers.

I hope you're wrong, Nostradamus!

for the first time I care...and what a game it will be...tensions are rife here in the north, where me and my kind are in a minority among the warmongering northeasterners. but victory will be ours!
