The Super Bowl is almost upon Us
So the big game is just a day away. Who do you think will win? If you have followed the sports news or sports on the web you will know that it is the AFC champion Indianapolis Colts against the upstart NFC champion New Orleans Saints. The reason allsports calls them the upstarts is because the Saints have never been here before in their 43 year history.
So who do you think will win? The Colts with the experience of Peyton Manning and his game management or the shoot the lights out style of Drew Brees and his Saints teammates.
The Colts are favored by 5 points and allsports would take those points and go with the Saints. Here is the reasoning behind the decision. First all pro defensive end Dwight Freeney suffers from a torn ankle ligament. Freeney is the Colts weapon to attack Drew Brees. Even if he does play you will have to wonder how effective he will be.
Next, the Saints Offensive line did a very good job a couple of weeks ago protecting Drew Brees from the Vikings strong pass rush. Freeney not being in there or playing with the injury will make the job easier for them so allsports expects Brees to have time to get the ball to his big receiving corpse. Add the fact that the Saints receivers are quite a bit bigger than the Colts defensive backs and this may make it so Brees can just throw the ball up and have the receiver come down with it.
Of course the wild card in all of this is Manning who is usually so composed during the game. If he gets time in the pocket the Saints could be in trouble. The question is whether the Saints underrated defence can hold the Colts on offence.
Can Drew Brees keep his composer in the big game and distribute the ball effectively. If he can establish a running game with his weapons in the backfield allsports likes the Saints chances.
So allsports take on the game is, take the Saints and the points.
