Predictions!

I have about as much confidence in these predictions as I have confidence in the ability of the California Legislature to develop a long-term plan to address the state's fiscal crisis.

But...without further ado:

Arizona 31, Philadelphia 20. Kurt Warner-to-Larry Fitzgerald proves to be more than the Eagles' defense can handle. Edgerrin James squeezes another good game out of his ancient body, and rides the "don't get no respect" meme all the way to the Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh 21, Baltimore 17. Joe Flacco may be a great rookie quarterback, but Ben Roethlisberger wrote the book on the "rookie taking a team to the Super Bowl" fairy tale. The Ravens' injuries catch up with them. Despite loss, Ray Lewis leaves field thinking Baltimore was the best team in the league.
