Reader poll: Who will win Super Bowl 46?
The American pro football playoffs start on Saturday afternoon, with 12 teams vying for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, to be awarded on the 5th of next month. If you had to bet a few bucks on it, who would you say will win it all?

Well, I *think* the Packers will win, but if I had $100 of house money to bet, I'd probably put it on the 49ers, since the payoff would be better and I think they have the kind of team that could put together a few upsets and take the whole thing.

I think it will be Ravens v Packers in SB.
Betting Ravens to win gets 8.5:1
Betting Packers to win gets 1.95:1
Matchup edge goes to the Pack if they are healthy.
If I'm betting in Vegas, I'd go with Ravens.
If I'm betting without odds then the Pack is a no-brainer.

I was leaning toward the Packers till last week. Following a record performance by the backup QB our main man Aaron has to be second guessing himself, "am I really that good or could it be that any ol QB could have been winning on this team?" It will affect his performance. I predict a quick for GB in the early rounds to everyone's surprise. The next best team with the best QB in the league has to be New Orleans.
As for the Ravens, we all know what R Lewis did. I could never get behind that team no matter what.

Although quite unlikely, I *hope* it's the Lions... as I put $10 on them during my last Vegas trip at 50/1 odds. :-)

I would say the Saints, if they were able to play all of their games at home, but the road to glory runs through Lambeau Field so I have to say it's going to be the Packers who go all the way.

Larry, I did the same as you by making a Vegas bet early on, only I picked the Texans to win it all. My odds were good at the time, but not nearly as good as your odds. The Texans seems like a much longer shot to me now after all the injuries to the QBs, but you never know right?

Tom Brady will lead the way and the Pats defense will step up!

New Orleans & (ouch!) New England. I'd rather see a Packers-Steelers rematch, or Lions-Bengals for a couple of cities that could use the break. It might end up a rematch of the Harbaughs: 49ers-Ravens, but I'd rather not (what Gibby said).
