You know who the Bears should pick up in the draft next year to fill out the depth chart at RB? Wisconsin RB John Clay. The guy is an absolute beast, and he would be great in short yardage situations.

As for the games, I think that the Bears game is going to be the least interesting, though I could be proven wrong if it winds up being close. I really look forward to watching the Steelers/Ravens and Pats/Jets games. I'm hoping that the Jets take out the Pats, and just for the sake of argument, I'd like to see the Steelers beat Baltimore.

John Clay would fit the mold for a power back very well but I don't see Martz being a big enough fan of him to use a pick high enough to get him. Although I think that he'll prove to be more of a Brandon Jacobs than a Ron Dayne there's still that stigma that will surround him if he's considered just another one dimensional Wisconsin power back.

Clay would be a nice backup to Forte

I would like to see Lynch end up with negative yards when the game is over and the bears move on to the NFC Championship game.

John Clay probably won't go that high in the draft. I don't know what his pass catching abilities are like since I don't usually watch Wisconsin football games (I'm an Ohio State and Tennessee football fan), but I've seen him run before, and there is no defensive line that can stop a 248 lb freight train like him from running through and gaining a few yards.

I doubt we'll have a repeat performance of the 1985 Bears like they did to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl that year. Still, I think we'll keep them to around 85-100 yards rushing and Matt Hasselbeck to about 200 yards passing. I see a big Bears victory, but at the same time, I'm cautiously optimistic, knowing that we could just as easily lose this game like the Saints did.

But the saints defense sucks. Ours is way much better than their and I don't see lynch having a good game against us.

Between Lynch and his back ups, they'll put up close to 80-90 yards on the ground.
