SI.com's E.M. Swift on why the Chicago Bears will win the Super Bowl:

Chicago Bears fans, poor souls, must be asking themselves, why, oh why, should Lovie and the gang even bother showing up in Miami?

I don't know any Bears fan wondering that.

Offense drives television ratings. Defense wins championships. Yes, the Colts have a juggernaut, boasting the NFL's third-best offense. Yes, Manning is a great quarterback who is headed for the Hall of Fame. Guess what? So was Dan Marino. You can get there without winning a Super Bowl. New Orleans was the NFL's top offense this season, and Drew Brees was the only quarterback in the league to throw for more yards than Manning.
