LAST WEEK'S QUESTION
Which teams do you think will play in Super Bowl XLIII? Who do you like as a surprise team? A disappointment? Why?

The Cowboys should go from the NFC. They certainly have the most talent. My second choice would be the Vikings (assuming they can get some decent QB play). I'd like to think the Saints have a good chance, but they just have to depend too much on the passing game and have a below-average defense.

As strange as it may seem, based on the past few years, I think the AFC is fairly open.

The Patriots are getting old on defense but still benefit from playing in a weak division. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacksonville make it to the big dance. The Colts always seem to have someone banged up on defense, and this year is no exception (thus far).

As far as the Chargers are concerned, I don't trust either Philip Rivers or the coaching staff.

Plus, there's one of the same reasons the Dolphins won't make it . . . bad uniforms. Ted Ralston Woodbridge
