Sunday, February 4, 6:25 p.m. ET on CBSSuper Bowl XLI will have a fresh look with two teams that haven’t seen the NFL’s title game in a long time. The Bears are back in the Super Bowl for first time since winning Super Bowl XX in January of 1986, while the Colts will make a Super Bowl appearance for the first time since the franchise, then located in Baltimore, beat Dallas in Super Bowl V.
Both teams started the 2006 season fast with the Bears winning their first seven games on their way to the NFC North title and the Colts starting 9-0 on their way to the AFC South crown. The game will feature strength against strength with the Colts offense, ranked third in the regular season, going against a Bears defense that finished the season ranked fifth overall. Both teams have plenty of talent, with Chicago sending eight players to the Pro Bowl, six from the defense or special teams, and the Colts boasting five Pro Bowl players, all from the offense. Bears coach Lovie Smith and Colts coach Tony Dungy are close friends, dating back to Smith’s time working on Dungy’s staff with the Tampa Bay Bucs, and the two are the first African-American head coaches to reach the Super Bowl.

Well, Fan Stop Central was half right at the beginning of the season. After watching the season opening matchup between the Colts and the Giants, FSC predicted a super bowl matchup between the brothers Manning.
Here we are, five days from the big day, and FSC may only be half right with the teams participating, but FSC is still sticking with the predicted winner … Indianapolis Colts.
Is it wrong that FSC is actually more interested in the commercials than the game this year?
