I think everyone will be rooting for Chicago, you know everyone loves the underdog!
Not sure why Chicago would be an underdog? I get the undefeated thing, but Chicago is the better team?
I just like to root for winners....and conference alliances of course....go Rocks!
On what grounds are Rocks a better team?
Better owner? 
Lets contest that theory, ok Cryin seems like a nice guy and I think both him and I are liked by our players. We both were able to put together strong teams early on and to an extent have remained dominant. In terms of management I cant really speculate that much on Chicago, except on the fact that we are a financially sounder team. Our highest payed player is a level 15 SS on 88k, wheras Chicago are paying 8 players 120k or more. Now it is debatable whether this is a good thing or bad thing, personally I feel overpaying players only hurts the team regardless if it is good for the individual. This is shown through each teams bank roll, our $5,972,743.00 to there $2,405,910.00. Also in terms of developement, I have developed a team and Cryin has bought one. Ive put a team together in the similair way Alex Ferguson does and hes more like Abromovich; this is proven by our considerably different team chemistries. Now looking at the matchup we see that overall Manchester is 33 and Chicago 30, now these ratings dont mean much but if you look at Chicago advantages: blocking and passing. Well blocking is correct, Id say they are a better blocking team but passing, I cant really get my head round that one, they have 3 QBs a level 15,13,11 wheras we have 1, a level 15. Now it might be that since we have only one QB we get a lower rating or it might also factor in receivers, so I dont know. But overall I dont think anyone can say which team is better until we play, and on top of that I think the better owner is something that cant be solved through debate or even through the games result, it all comes down to opinion.
