For the playoffs I was a pathetic 2 and 10 with my picks. It's a good thing I don't gamble anymore. The two games I was right on were the games the Colts won and they are the current favorite to win the superbowl. This is a game that can go either way and is very difficult to pick since neither team has a defense that looks like it can stop the opposing team's offense.
New Orleans with Running Backs Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell should be able to establish a running game and if Reggie Bush gets involved as well the Saints will be able to score often. Indianapolis needs Peyton Manning to play turnover free football and if he reads New Orleans blitzes correctly, which I think he will, Wide Receivers Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, and Austin Colley along with Tight End Dallas Clark should have big games.
The questions are which team's defense will play above people's expectations and which team's offense will turnover the ball more. Since Indianapolis is the more experienced team I'll pick them to win. New Orleans covers the spread but doesn't quite win the game.
Colts 31 Saints 28.
This game has the potential to be an exciting superbowl. Let's hope it lives up to the hype.
