C: I have to go with the Saints here. One part destiny + One part talent = Super Bowl Champions.

This will be a match-up to remember. To see two of the best quarterbacks to ever play matched up in the Super Bowl after masterful seasons will be a game to remember. Both teams match up well, so it will come down to who wants it more. Peabo keeps telling me that Freeny and Mathis will be the difference makers, but I’ll take Darren Sharper and Reggie Bush on special teams as the game breakers.

P: Two of the classiest teams in the NFL. Great cities… great franchises. The cream of the crop of the NFL. Very evenly matched teams, starting with two dominant quarterbacks, however I give Manning the edge in this game. Two underrated defenses as well. I think this game comes down to which defense makes the biggest plays and who has the ball last.  Look for Freeny and Mathis to come out hard like Demarcus Ware did when the Saint’s played Dallas. I believe the defensive line match-up for the Colts can wear down the slower offensive line of the Saints. Look for Brees to be knocked down a lot and lose his rhythm. Colts win. 31-28

K: The Colts won their conference championship in more impressive fashion, but if the Saints get away with what they did to Brett Favre, they should win this game. Who dat? Dey dat.

B: The Saints have an uncanny ability to throw down, and I have a feeling that the crowd will be on their side. I’m taking the Saints for the Superbowl.

R: Please New Orleans prove that you belong here. Keep it close. I am hoping for a win but Indy has all the experience.

J: Minus the turnovers, the Saints defense gave up over 400 yards of offense to the Vikings. You can bet your bottom dollar that Manning will not make any Favre-like mistakes Late in the game and will cash-in on trips to the red zone. The Saints are very talented and will no doubt score points and make it a game, but Manning will overcome and show why he may just be the best ever.
