Who's your early favorites to be playing in the Minneapolis SB this February?

MN vs OAK, yeah its the homer in me speaking but hey one can dream right?  Raiders want to win just to say FU to the city of Oakland before they move so if not this year then next.  (hopefully next if against the Vikings)

you have to say New England for the afc,  its just a safe bet.  for the nfc... its wide open,  there are plenty of teams on the rise and at least 3 or 4 already at the top.  it really depends on how some of these young players improve from last year to this year.

and why doesnt anybody bring up bob dylan as a possible superbowl half time performer?  i mean if Prince was going to be a shoe in due to his minnesota roots,  why not Dylan?

Because it would make sense, be awesome, and simultaneously invalidate all other SB halftime performances to date. Lemme think: The timeless music of a Presidential medal of freedom and Nobel prize winner or "Lady Gaga"

They've gotta have fireworks, and dancing sharks, and giant Lions to ride, and bungee jumping strippers...
Compared to a man with a guitar & harmonica.

Dylan would be EPIC

As for the question:

AFC- NE / OAK
NFC- DAL / MINN

Minnesota vs KC...we matriculate the ball all over the field, then burn Hank Stram's toupee at mid field with Bud Grant shooting a flaming arrow into it from the upper deck...

I would sell a kidney to see that game in person.  not all the theatrics... just the Vikes vs Chiefs,  I have always said that is the only match up that I would want to attend in person.

I'll jump on this bandwagon...why not!

The Giants versus Raiders

Vikes Titans

Redux of 76 huh? I was a teen then and SB's were the norm...I cried when we lost that game.

We got whupped too. Shell and Upshaw dominated against the over the hill Vikings.

75, 98 and 09 all broke my dang fan heart. And you know what?

 Just one SB victory is all I'd need for a curing salve -- just one.

 The Titans look like a team on the rise, a bit like the Falcons last year. 

Steelers vs ??   No idea who from the NFC really stands out as a clear SB favorite in my mind.  Dallas?  Seattle?  Atl?  Mn?  GB - I hope not.

Browns vs Bears!  :'(

^^^^^ My personal favorite as well, but DAMN it would be cool to see Dylan.

I've listened to more Prince in the year since his death then when I was a huge fan in High School and College.

Empty Room.  INDEED.

I saw Dylan with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Grateful Dead, the haze was thick in that place. As far as listening to Prince, I always do. He is such a timeline of my life and there are so many memories there. There is a huge library of music to choose from and more is coming. I am glad you are renewing your listening to his music.

If I were going to go with teams on the rise.. I would go with the Bucs and Raiders
