After picking Jdeppa to win the Next Great Sportswriter Competition [just a joke bro'], Tiki Barber made his picks for the Super Bowl on national TV.  Last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, Tiki Barber picked  the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots for the Super Bowl.  How good of a pick is this?  Let's analyze it.

This week we have the Redskins traveling to the Seahawks nest; the Patriots getting ready to face a stampede of Broncos; the Steeler's Bus rolling to Indianapolis; and finally a battle of beasts when the Carolina Panthers face the Chicago Bears.  All this games should be close, but I think Tiki's picks will move on this week. 

I see the Seahawks beating the tired Redskins.  The Skins won their last game against the Bucs without offensive production; they've been traveling a lot during the last couple of weeks; and they must be tired after winning their last seven games.  The Seahawks should dominate this game running the ball with Alexander against a poor rushing defense.

I also see the Patriots winning this upcoming weekend.  The Patriots lost to Denver the last time they played each other, but the Patriots were not completely healthy.  Denver won with a score of 28-20. Don't expect that to happen again.  The Patriots are healthy once again, and Brady hasn't lost a playoff game.  So watch out for New England.

The other two games are irrelevant to Tiki's picks.  Yet, I'll still make my picks for the record.  I think the Bus makes his last stop of the season, and perhaps of his career, this weekend in Indianapolis.  And for the upset pick I'll take Carolina over Da Bears.  After embarassing the Giants at the Meadowlands the Panthers seem to have more confidence in themselves.  Don't be surprised if they win again in the road.

Hence, I see Seattle winning the NFC Championship.  Regardless of who they end up playing, I say Carolina but that's a guess, they should win the NFC.  On the AFC, then, I see the Patriots winning.  The Colts are good friends of that hated c-word in sports (choke) and their paths always cross during the playoffs.  So I don't see a repeat of that Monday Night game where the Colts beat the Patriots.

I guess Tiki is right then.  However, he didn't say who he thinks will win the Super Bowl.  I, as the grown ass man that Cedric The Entertainer has tought me to be, will say that this is the Seahawks' season.  They should ride Alexander the Great all the way to the Super Bowl and receive their well-earned Lombadi trophy.
