There's about 26 hours to go before the first Championship Game tomorrow. I won't be getting much done this weekend (which is why I'm trying to kill the day doing time-wasting things like this post)

For those of intested in such things, here are some predictions from ESPN, as found on their website

Witnesses won't see the truth until they are ready and search for it on their own.

Exactly. Understanding this would save a lot of people time, effort and heartache

So, I've gone back and forth on this for a couple of days. Although prevailing/conventional wisdom makes me lean towards Green Bay, I think the Bears will pull this one out. The Packers are not playing in a dome this Sunday, and I really don't expect their offense to put up the same numbers in the cold of Chicago against a defense much better than Atlanta.

I've got Pittsburgh and Chicago moving on to Super Bowl XLV
