nfl. and i got a chance to talk to one of them today. a guy who played at howard university, now a linebacker for the patriots, tracy white is his name. you might be surprised at what tracy had to say when i asked him, who's going to win this game. check him out. what do you think the score's going to be? >> i don't even know. it depends who wants it the m t most. that's all i can say. >> are you prepared to tell me who's going to win? >> whoever makes the least mistakes has a good chance of winning. >> i nobel chknonobeknow belich discipline. tracy white can say well i think we might prevail today? what is this where a football player can't say, yeah, i think

we'll probably win? who is going to believe if the player himself doesn't believe, and if he believes, why doesn't he say so? one of my problems with what you guys do all the time, you talk to these dudes and they never say nothing for goodness sake. i tried with tracy by the way, over and over and over again. who's going to win the game? he wouldn't say anything. i don't know if that's belichick, but opinion board material or whatever it is, what's wrong with these guys if they won't talk. >> very a local guy coming up later in sports who did predict who's going to win. we're going to visit a couple local ties here in the super bowl. >> i hope he said something more than tracy did. back to you. more coming up from those two in indianapolis, thanks, guys. they'll be reporting live from indianapolis all week leading up to the super bowl. >> you can watch the big game on sunday only on nbc 4.
