SUPER BOWL XLIV

Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans Saints





Here is my rundown.

Offensive Edge: Saints (The Colts have the firepower to match point for point with the Saints, but the running game is the separation between the two offenses. I would take Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush over Joesph Addai and Donald Brown any day.)

Defensive Edge: Colts (While I think the Saints have a more opportunistic defense, I think the Colts have a better unit. They stopped the number one rushing offense last week and face a pretty dangerous duo in Thomas and Bush this week, although the Vikings were successful in stopping them. The Saints can make the timely interception or cause the needed fumbles that can really change the game, but they can also give up a ton of points.)

Special Teams Edge: Saints (The Saints have a dangerous return game and a great punter and a kicker who proved he can hit in the clutch.)

Coaching Edge: Even (This is the first time both coaches are in the Super Bowl. Caldwell was an Asst. HC for the Colts when they won Super Bowl XLI. Payton has done a terrific job with the Saints since taking over in 2006. Payton has more coaching experience in the NFL as a HC, but both will be making there Super Bowl debuts.)

Intangibles Edge: Colts (Peyton and company have been there done that. They know what it takes to be champions in the NFL. They have one of the greatest QB's in NFL history.)

Key Matchups:

When Colts are on Offense:

Dallas Clark vs. Scott Fujita/Scott Shanle/Roman Harper/Darren Sharper (Whoever is in charge of covering Clark will have his hands full. Shiancoe of the Vikings made big plays and Clark is a ton better then him. The Saints are going to have to be very aggressive against Clark if they want to limit his numbers. Peyton looks his way often and for good reason.)

When Saints are on Offense:

Jermon Bushrod vs. Dwight Freeney (Bushrod will have his hands full against the Pro Bowler, but if he can contain Freeney, then Brees will have a more comfortable time in the pocket. Freeney is the glue that holds the D-Line together and if he can get pressure on the QB and force double teams, then the Colts other playmakers on the line will give Brees trouble.

Prediction: I think the Saints will lead early in the game and hold into going into halftime. The Colts will make adjustments and Peyton will do what Peyton does best. Win. I think the Colts neutralize the Saints run game and while Brees will still have success through the air, I think the Colts will make the stops when they need to. Look for a big, big game from Dallas Clark as I think he is a mismatch for the Saints secondary.

Colts - 31
Saints - 24

MVP: Dallas Clark

Colts hopefully win, MVP would probably be inbetween Manning, Clark, or Wayne. Depending on who plays the better game.

If Saints win, MVP would probably be Brees, Bush, or Thomas.

Idk, this game could go either way but with the saints playing a poor game against the Vikings being so called "A remarkable game, played outstanding by both teams" yeah sure.. The vikings fumbled around 6 times and they still almost won. Im going to have to go with the colts 27-14.

Saints are overrated, I remember how close they almost got beat by my Carolina panthers during the regular season (not counting the last game they played against them where they let the panthers win). Plus I see them as a NFC South Rival, so I respect them for that but cant look for them to get a super bowl win. So Colts have my support lol

Both teams played like shit the whole game, Colts played crappy in defense and Saints also played shitty defense. Worse super bowl ive seen in awhile (Probably near Oakland and Tampa calibur game).

I like the Griswold's short film at www.homeaway.com


Love me some National Lampoon's Vacation stuff.


There weren't any spectacular ones this year though, so I'm a bit disappointed. The game was pretty good though.

I don't get why the colts didn't run any out plays. Everyone play after two minutes was right up the middle.

Well I was a little off in my prediction. I thought it was a really good Super Bowl though. I was pushing for the first OT in SB history but the pick 6 ruined that.

Best commercial was the Doritos Ninja.
