Ready for the Colts?

brees1The New Orleans Saints need to be. They have a dynamic defense and I don’t think their offense, led by Peyton Manning, needs any introduction. Madden NFL is predicting that the Saints will win 35-31, and while they are traditionally right, that doesn’t mean the Colts are out of the game. Nope, not even close.

Super Bowl Sunday is sure to deliver a great game as these two teams, who spent most of the season unbeaten, put on a performance in Miami. Who do you think will win?

The two teams have been decided for the Super Bowl on February 7. The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints spent most of their season undefeated and proved to both fans and critics that they deserve to play in the Championship.

The Colts came back from an 11 point deficit against the Cinderella story of the New York Jets. The Jets put on quite a game for the Colts, but just couldn’t find that magical slipper. I am impressed though with Mark Sanchez and I wouldn’t be surprised if he led the Jets back to the playoffs next year. Colts won 30-17.

The New Orleans Saints had a little tougher time with the Minnesota Vikings. I really think the Vikings were the key to their own undoing because you can’t turn the football over five times and expect to come out ahead, especially when you are playing the Saints at home. I had to turn my TV down several times because of the crowd noise, so I can only imagine what they were dealing with on the field. The Saints won in overtime 31-28.
