Super Bowl XLIV Preview
Colts Vs. Saints..Who do you think is going to win??
Me?
The Colts and I’m with Tony Dundy “I don’t think it’s going to be close.” You might say, he’s just saying that because he coached them last year and this is still pretty much his team. But the fact of the matter is that the Saints D doesn’t have anything for Peyton Manning. As die-hard Patriot fan it’s hard for me to say this but after seeing what the Saints D did against Brady, Warner, and Favre. They won’t do that against Peyton, he’s a totally different animal. He’s going to pick apart this Saints D and he won’t feel bad about at all. He won’t feel a bit of sentiment that this is his hometown team, or that this pops plays for them, or that they’re playing for a whole city that’s still trying to get over Hurricane Katrina. I believe he’s going to go out there and try to put his foot on their throat and not let up.
But I have to give the Saints some love too, because the Colts Defense isn’t all-world either and with a banged up Dwight Freeny they might not be as potent as they usually are. But the one thing I have to give the Colts D is that they make big plays , which the Saints D does on a lesser extent in my opinion. It’s easy to get a lot of INT’s when your offensive puts up 35pts a game and the other team has to throw all the time. But the Saints are going to score and if they win they’re going to need to score a lot or they’re going to have to run the ball and keep Peyton off the field but that’s not the strength of their team. In a game like this you want to play to your strength, which for the Saints is passing the ball.
In the end the Colts D will get more stops than the Saints and Peyton will capitalize of those stops with scores and won’t look back.
Final Score: Colts 35 Saints 24 (only after a couple late meaningless scores in the 4th).
