From John Dewan over at Baseball Info Solutions, he does a stat of the week segment on WSCR with Mike Murphy. This week he broke down 12 categories for which the winner has won 14 of the last 16 Super Bowls. Since John himself is a Bears fan he decided to do it for the playoffs this year.

For the NFC Championship:
Category     Team with Advantage
Points Scored     Bears
Points Allowed     Bears
Point Differential     Bears
Fewer Net Passing Yards     Bears
Rushing Yards     Bears
Rushing Yards / Attempt     Bears
Opponent Net Passing Yards     Saints
Opponent Rushing Yards     Bears
Opponent Rushing Yards / Attempt     Bears
Opponent Total Yards / Game     Bears
Turnover Differential     Bears
Regular Season Record     Bears

Wow, that is a huge advantage for the Bears, eleven categories to one. Looking at all 40 Super Bowls, the only perfect season in NFL history, the 1972 Miami Dolphins, had the only perfect 12-0 tally on the predictor system. The other four teams winning 11 categories on the predictor system (including the 1985 Bears) also all won the Super Bowl. As a huge Bears fan I sure hope this Super Bowl predictor system works for the NFC Championship this year!

true, but

a lot of what the bears did was built on the early season defensive dominance, which just isn't there right now. brown went down fairly early, but we still had harris until november. i'm not concerned about the offense, or even the secondary...its the DL that worries me a little. if they play a decent game, we will win, possibly by a comfortable margin. if they don't, expect a shootout between rex and brees.
