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

Packers--they're playing their best football in Deecember
Jets--a sentimental pick, LT deserves to win a Super Bowl ring before he retires

Stats and polls are pretty meaningless. If I am to rely on meaningless data, I will just stick with my hope and faith. It's just like religion.
GO BEARS!
