Super Bowl XLVI. The game is scheduled to be played Sunday, February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.


  
Here are some interesting NFL predictions, for 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis. Super Bowl XLVI will take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana on February 5, 2012


Interesting prediction: Philadelphia vs. Baltimore in Super Bowl 46, mark it down in permanent ink.OK, this is my pick mainly because I can’t find as many reasons to eliminate these two as I can for the NFL’s other 30 teams, so you might consider this backward thinking. But I’m searching for teams that have top-12 quarterbacks, defensive playmakers and good timing, and I immediately eliminate the teams that don’t have those things.


-Defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Fate: 11-5 wins the division, but exit when the Packers hit a hotter team in the 2nd round of the NFC playoffs.

-Runner-up Pittsburgh Fate: 10-6 suffers some injury hits, get a wild-card spot behind division-winning Baltimore and lose to the Jets or Patriots in the second round of the AFC playoffs.

-MVP: New Orleans QB Drew Brees. With Peyton Manning potentially out for a while, there’s no player more essential to his team’s hope than Brees.

Tom Brady is close, but Belichick has enough around him to make a semi-run even if he lost Brady (as he did a few years ago with Cassel when Brady went out in Week 1). If the Saints lose Brees early, the season is done.

-Defensive player of the year: Detroit DT Ndamukong Suh. This generation’s Reggie White. And I covered Reggie White, so that’s not something I say loosely.

-Rookie of the year: Carolina QB Cam Newton. He might put up some mediocre numbers, but I think Newton will make two or three plays a game that will be worth watching.

-Unheralded QB of the year: Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick.

-Coach of the year: Philadelphia’s Andy Reid. He has made the transition from McNabb to Kolb to Vick seem like it was planned all along, which I don’t think it was. And I think Vick is due for a monster year.

-Biggest fall of the year: (Tie) New York Giants and Chicago Bears. I’m guessing neither will finish above .500.

-Surprise/most entertaining team: Detroit is the fashionable choice.  What can I say? I’m fashionable. I think the Lions will get a wild-card berth.

More focus on the Lions: They’re a fascinating representation of what our Bay Area franchises could have been, in different pieces, with different choices.

They’re coached by Jim Schwarz, who was almost hired by the 49ers in 2005, when John York at the last moment picked Mike Nolan, instead.

Their offensive coordinator is Scott Linehan, who took the 49ers’ offensive coordinator for a few hours when it was offered by Mike Singletary in 2009 before pulling out and exiting for Detroit.

Their offensive star is Calvin Johnson, the wide receiver the Raiders would’ve drafted No. 1 overall if they had decided not to take JaMarcus Russell.

Detroit’s back-up quarterback Shaun Hill, who the 49ers dumped in favor of David Carr last summer.
