tr1 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 http://www.thewestsidestory.net/article/Sports/Gridiron_Report/Colts_Cowboys_Top_Picks_for_Super_Bowl/20768 As football season draws near, NFL fans pick the Indianapolis Colts and the Dallas Cowboys as the teams most likely to win Super Bowl XLV. Twelve percent (12%) of NFL fans pick each of those teams to win. The only other team to reach double digits is the defending Super Bowl Champions, the New Orleans Saints. Eight percent (8%) think the winner will be the Minnesota Vikings, 6% say the New England Patriots, and 6% the Green Bay Packers. The national survey of 3,175 Football Fans was conducted on August 14-15, 2010 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 2 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. In terms of who fans want to win it all, the Dallas Cowboys are the only team in double digits. Twelve percent (12%) want to see the Cowboys bring home another Vince Lombardi trophy. Nine percent (9%) are pulling for the Saints and 8% each for the Colts and Vikings. Heading into Super Sunday last year, most football fans were rooting for the Saints but predicting a Colts victory. A year ago at this time, the Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers were the top picks to go all the way. The Saints, who managed to win it all, were an afterthought, and the Colts were number five.

tr1 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 The Cowboys have averaged only 251.3 total yards and 68.3 yards rushing in the three preseason games.Marion Barber has looked sluggish, with eight carries for only 25 yards. Felix Jones has been no better, with six carries for 15 yards. Tashard Choice has had the most work and also looked the best (18 carries, 69 yards. Romo sits to pee is only 13 of 28 for 141 yards. http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/08/22/2418214/Romo sits to pee-unscathed-but-cowboys-ground.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoEd Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 This is a fan poll, I bet the pro's have changed their picks based on the decimated offensive line of the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 This is a fan poll, I bet the pro's have changed their picks based on the decimated offensive line of the Cowboys. The decimated offensive line which current injuries will have 1 starter probably miss 1-2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsciambi Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I'd be willing to bet that the Colts, Cowboys, Vikings, and Saints all don't make the Super Bowl. I also wouldn't be surprised if they missed the playoffs completely (although, ALL of them missing the playoffs would be pretty surprising).

This right here just reminds me of how many stupid people there are in the world. :rotflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus71 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Money talks and bullsh*t walks. Vegas says differently. And that's what counts. I guess you should be betting your life on it then since Vegas said so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I guess you should be betting your life on it then since Vegas said so! Not the point. But the money controls who the REAL favorites are. It's real easy to put a poll out there for "fans" to vote on who they think will win it all. But when it comes to putting money on it, Dallas isn't the favorite to win the SB.
