Celebrities, athletes give their Super Bowl picks

As Super Bowl XLIV draws closer, everyone - and we mean everyone - is weighing in on just who will emerge victorious and why.

Case in point, former Los Angeles Lakers teammates Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal still can't agree on anything. Bryant is siding with Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts, while O'Neal predicts the New Orleans Saints will win - and punctuated his prediction with "Who Dat?", according to Scripps Howard News Service.

Golfing legends Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus also cited Manning as the reason why the Colts would win, while professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan envisions the Saints winning. His reasoning? "They survived Hurricane Katrina, and if they can survive that, they can survive anything," he said.

American Olympians also differed in their opinions, as beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh is pulling for Manning and tight end Dallas Clark to propel the Colts to victory, while skiier Lindsey Vonn and softball star Jennie Finch are solidly behind the Saints.

And how about this? Miss USA Kristen Dalton has selected the Colts, while Miss America Caressa Cameron backed the Saints. For the record, they did agree that the game would be high-scoring, however.

Even the members of Gilligan's Island and the Brady Bunch couldn't come to a consensus.

Russell Johnson, that's the Professor, sees the Colts winning while Dawn Wells - yes, that's Mary Ann - has the Saints emerging victorious.

Meanwhile, Florence Henderson and Barry Williams - that's Carl and Greg Brady, respectively - are pulling for the Colts, while Christopher Knight has sided with the Saints.

Come Sunday, the Saints and Colts will settle it on the field.

Analysis:  
   
Some of the Detroit Tigers believe their guy, Max Scherzer, is the best pitcher in the American League right now. I wouldn't disagree. The numbers back this up. Scherzer always had enormous talent and now he's figured out how to pitch and not just be a hard thrower. He's 3-1 with a 1.25 ERA during his past seven outings. He held Minnesota to one run in nine inn...
