Prepare the nachos - Today the undefeated New England Patriots are playing the undefeated Indianapolis Colts in what some have dubbed "Superbowl 41 ½". You won't see a more bloodthirsty editorial than this one in today's Boston Globe: "Go ahead, run up the score."

Last I checked the spread was 5 points for the favored Patriots, who have beaten the spread in every game this year. My prediction: Patriots 37 - Colts 23.

Update - Pats win 24-20, after overcoming a 10-point deficit. Oh, ho, it's magic! You know. Never believe it's not so.
