Super Bowl Pre-Game:
Well, this is what we all have been waiting for, Super Bowl XLIV with the New Orleans Saints vs Indianapolis Colts! These were the top two teams in the NFL in their Conference with the best record, so it’s only fitting to see them battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy! Get ready for an offensive showdown, and be sure to check your favorite online betting sites for odds on this game!
New Orleans Saints:
To be completely honest, I did want the Vikings to beat the Saints last week. I predicted the Vikings to make it to the Super Bowl before the season started, and they would have if it weren’t for turnovers and bad refereeing. However, I wasn’t going to be disappointed if the Saints won because I am happy for the city of New Orleans! They completely deserve something special like this to happen for their city and their loyal fans! The Saints did beat the Vikings last week, 31-28 in overtime in New Orleans. The Saints found a way to win, and won by causing turnovers. If their defense can cause the same havoc to the Colts, look for a huge party on Bourbon Street!
Indianapolis Colts:
The Colts had the best record in the NFL this year in the regular season with a 14-2 record. Indianapolis proved during the season that they have earned the right as one of the two best teams in the NFL to play for a Super Bowl Championship. The Colts came back in the second half to beat the Jets last week, 30-17 in Indianapolis. The Colts started off very sluggish, down 17-13 at halftime. However, the Colts regrouped for the second have and scored 17 unanswered points to win the game in style. If the Colts start slow against the Saints like they did against the Jets, I’m not sure they will be able to comeback.
New Orleans Saints vs Indianapolis Colts Prediction:
It’s going to be the Saints vs Colts in Miami for the Super Bowl in 2010! Get ready to watch an entertaining offensive showdown! Since both teams are so dynamic in their offense, most people think the better offense is going to win this game. In my opinion that is true to a point, but I think the winner of this game will be determined by three major factors. One, the team who shows up with the better defense will win a Super Bowl. Two, the team that produces the most defensive recovered turnovers will win a Vince Lombardi Trophy. Three, Payton Manning’s performance will determine who wins this Championship Game. Those three factors in order, in my opinion, will determine the winner and outcome of this game.
Although I have always thought of Payton Manning as an over-rated quarterback, mainly due to his postseason performance, if he plays a good game and wins this Super Bowl my outlook on him will change to a very good quarterback. Manning is one of the best regular season quarterbacks ever to play the game, if not thee best, but has proved almost nothing to me as a playoff quarterback other than the 1 Super Bowl he did win. As for the Saints, I hope New Orleans wins this game and I will be cheering for them. I know the Saints players would love to give the city of New Orleans and all their fans a Super Bowl Title! Now, as I mentioned above on the three determining factors I do like the Colts because I feel they have the better defense of the two. With that being said, I predict the Colts to win a close and low scoring game!
