Sunday Feb. 6, 2005 - 6:30 on FOX

Here we are at last. After the draft, training camp, minicamp, four pre-season games, 16 regular season games and two playoff victories, the game
everyone has been waiting for has arrived. It's Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville, Florida, or Super Bowl After-Wardrobe-Malfunction I. Hey, who
knows, maybe Paul McCartney might end up doing some crazy, too. But let's not think about that.

Nick and I would like to thank everyone for putting up with our winner-picking ineptitude for the past two years. We all remember when Nick picked
the Ravens to win it all last season.

Well, tearful (not) remembrances aside, we now present to you the last predictions of the 2004-2005 NFL season.
