So I guess one of us will be disappointed. (But at least, we won't have *both* of us disappointed, right?) Well.yeah.My first read on this game is that I like the Patriots to win big. Although the Patriots benefitted from some extraordinary luck in their last Super Bowl run, the various breaks that have gone their way this year have hardly been untoward. They play exceedingly tough and hard-nosed football. At any rate, the Panthers - while an incredilbe story of perseverance - are also the beneficiaries of an extraordinary down-cycle in the NFC, as well as the beneficiaries of being a division that should have been one of the best in football this year, but instead fall flat on its face.I don't think that the phrase just happy to be here has applied so aptly to a Super Bowl team since the Chargers somehow snuck into the big game in the mid-1990's. As for the game itself, the Panthers should really struggle running the ball against the Patriots front 7, and I fully expect Bill Belichick's defensive mind to thoroughly confuse and befuddle Jake Delhomme. This game might even end up as a shutout. As for my heart, Boston got their Super Bowl win a few years back, and so I'd be more than happy to see the plucky Panthers bring home a Championship for Charlotte. I won't, however, be holding my breath. JDG ___ John D. Giorgis - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity. - George W.

NFL Championship Picks
This week, I like the Colts over the Patriots in Foxoboro.While Bill Belichick, aka Evil Genius, aka Lex Luther has often had Peyton Super Manning's number in the past Manning is simply playing at a whole another level right now. This week, the luck of the Patriots - my pick for luckiest team in the League over the last few year - will finally run out, and Manning will go to his first Super Bowl. In a game that is little more than desert after the classic top offense vs. top defense matchup in New England, I like the Eagles over the Panthers in a slugfest in Philadelphia. These two teams love to run the football , play solid defense, and win ugly - and with the weather turning ugly in the Northeast, this game will not exactly be a track meet. The difference should be Donovan McNabb who will make enough plays with his legs to pull out the win. JDG ___ John D.
