Luck? I think not. Why? Because Manning played in a Superbowl already? Saints have the number ONE offense and Colts are severely hobbled on defense w/o their king defensive end and a DB who played all year.
The national sports talking heads picked Colts by at least 3-1 from what I see. They're going to be shocked.
For two weeks all I've been hearing is Colts this....Manning that....Freeney this.....Manning...Manning....I've even heard one expert say that Manning can beat the Saints with Manning and any other 10 players in the NFL ! What a load.
Bring it on Colts.....Saints by 10.

The saints are a great team i'll give them that. They have played well throughout the year and yes, they have the #1 offense, but they were all but handed the conference title by the vikings. 2 int's and 6 fumbles (3 lost) by the Viks and the saints still could have lost that game.
I'm hoping for a good game and I'll cheer for whomever is behind at half. But if the Saints fans scoff at Manning, they got their heads in the sand. The man defines "clutch".

Don't expect the same from the Colts!
Colts by 7
Turnovers are part of the game. The Vikings were also almost handed the game, but they couldn't stop turning it over. That goes to show you that obviously the Saints ARE a better team than the Vikings. It's to bad for the Vikings that they turn the ball over so much.
The Saints have a great offense, but they have a good defense when it comes to passing, which is what the Colts have, a passing offense. I think many will be surprised at the outcome of the game. I see Saints by 3.

Same as the Colts fans, if they scoff at Breeze they have their heads in the sand too. Manning is good, but he is not the only one on the team.
I'm pulling for the Saints, however I really respect the Colts. not just for Manning who is arguably the best QB to play the game, but the organization is top notch. I think this is gonna come down to whom ever is more hungry.
Without the advantage of their home crowd, the Saints will not go marching in. Colts by a FG in overtime. There will be at least 80 points scored in this game.
Home crowd? The only road game the Saints lost this year was at Carolina... a game where starters did not play b/c there was nothing more to play for. Home field was wrapped up. So the "can't play on the road" thing can be scrapped.
In addition, there is a nearly 4-1 Saints advantage in what city sold the most superbowl tickets this year.
