Superbowl Time

Superbowl Sunday is drawing near and there is reason for excitment. The last two superbowls were very close exciting games where the winning team (the Giants and Steelers) pulled out victories with a touchdown in the last minute of the game. Whether this year's superbowl will be close remains to be seen but there should be plenty of offense to go around. New Orleans in the regular season ranked 1st in offense with Indianapolis ranked 9th. On defense Indianapolis ranked 18th while New Orleans ranked 24th. With the offensive weapons New Orleans has and with Colts Defensive End Dwight Freeney injured, the Saints should be able to move the ball consistently and create big plays by exposing the inexperience Colts secondary. Indianapolis's offense is in for a big day as well. Quarterback Peyton Manning is at his best right now and with only a week to prepare threw for 377 yards and 3 touchdowns to defeat the New York Jets in the AFC conference finals. The Jets defense ranked first in the regular season and if Manning can put up those kind of numbers against the Jets just imagine what he can do with two weeks to prepare against a defense that ranked 24th in the regular season.
Since Dwight Freeney is injured it is tough to pick a winner at this point but if the weather is good on Sunday, we may be in store for one of the highest scoring superbowls ever.
