Well, it's official. The Chicago Cubs have become the biggest joke in professional sports. For such a storied franchise, nothing in the world can explain how a team laden with so much talent could implode with such alacrity. Or can it? I'm going to try.

No "Around the Horn this week". Maybe I'm done with that, seeing as how the Cubs season is down to a one-game playoff at least 3 times in a row.
Let's just get this out of the way: the Cubs must win. Plain and simple. It is not impossible for the Cubs to go into Los Angeles and take two, bring it back to Chicago, and finally win a game at home. But there is no chance of that if the Cubs' play does not pick up. NOW.

Kellen Clemens never saw him. When the young quarterback dropped back in the pocket with six minutes left in the second quarter, he thought he had Jerricho Cotchery open on an out route. With little hesitation, he gunned the ball in the direction of his top receiver and watched it go for six. Unfortunately, for Clemens and Jets fans, those six points belonged to the opposing team, the Dallas Cowboys. Cornerback Terence Newman easily undercut the route and used his world-class speed to return the pass 50 yards down the sideline for his first touchdown of the season. Broken and overmatched, the Jets would lose the contest 34-3.

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.
