Super Bowl XLI is an intriguing matchup on paper. The lethally efficient Peyton Manning and the Colts take their high-powered offensive attack against one of the toughest defenses in the league, the Bears.

Chicago will likely try to pressure Manning into making mistakes, as he has been prone to do in the past. To keep the pressure off Manning, Indianapolis will try to establish Joseph Addai on the ground — something that has been very difficult to do against Chicago's front seven. If given time to throw, Manning should be able to complete some passes against a somewhat suspect, by comparison, Bears' defensive secondary.

While Chicago has been a consistent and solid team running the football with Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson, the Bears' success will ultimately hinge on two scary words for any Bears fan: Rex Grossman. Grossman was the most inconsistent passer in the league this season, and the Bears need him to have one of his good games or else the Vince Lombardi trophy will be Indy's.

If this graphic looks familiar, it's because it should. Way back at the beginning of the season, Herald Sports predicted this very matchup. No need to correct ourselves now. Prediction: Grossman struggles and the Colts' offense minimizes costly mistakes to win by a touchdown plus two, 23-15.
