Superbowl Analysis

Saints vs Colts

The most obvious superbowl match possible. This game was predicted to be when the season was only 4 games in. The New Orleans presence was felt and Peyton Manning was nowhere from being done with Indy. Granted they both didnt have the easiest schedules in the league, they both managed to pull off some sort of unbeaten streak. Regardless of the losses incurred throughout their season, they are both the ideal teams to meet this upcoming Sunday.

The Indy Colts, a team with one of the best, if not the best Offensive Scheme in the league. Their O-Line seems to be inpenetrable, which presents one less worry for Manning. Their receiving core is not only the most versatile group of individuals, their ability to pull off necessary plays in the most important of times. Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Dallas Clark, and Pierre Garcon, simply put are amazing. Their defense suffers from depth, so injuries caused the defense to loose its threat.

The Saints, on the other hand, excel in their defensive explosiveness. When plays are most needed, their defense always seems to pitch in that extra ammount to win. Darren Sharper, their Safety, and Jonathan Vilma, the Linebacker, stand out in the backfield. With 9 interceptions this season, Sharper led the league alongside Woodson, Byrd and Samuel. Not to mention, Drew Brees is no pushover QB. His ability to find open receivers is to admire. When under heavy pressure, Brees always finds someone to make a completion to. The YAC (yards after carry) is what his receivers are known for. Jeremy Shockey, Lance Moore, Devery Henderson, and Marques Colston pose more than a threat to the Colts weak backfield.

Final prediction: Colts win
