Super Bowl Prediction Thread

The Colts got lucky repeatedly this year. The Saints aren’t perfect, but they’ll find a way to win (man, I hope, anyways).

Are apparently trying to injure every good player on their team. By Sunday Curtis Painter will be throwing bombs to Craphonso Thorpe in the big game.

This Superbowl is the worst of the worst… Although my brother is a Tennessee Alum, and I’ve strolled down Peyton Ave every time I’ve been to Neyland to root for his alma mater, the Colts have owned us so its impossible to root for them … That being said, as a northern NY’er I’m fortunate enough to not be insulted on a daily basis by reading little Richard injustice, age unknown, but as an avid reader of the BRB I’m thinking that if Reggie K wins a Superbowl (although VY winning would be the worst case scenario), Mario might as well hang ’em up..
Put your name on it: Saints 34 Colts 31

Colts lose. They must.

Saints 38 Colts 34

will sell out to stop the pass, therefore Indy will have a big run or two, but the Saints will stay put and hit Manning as much as they can. Expect multiple RTP, cuz P. Mann is a protected man.

GO SAINTS!

 I have to root for the Saints, they were part of my greatest sports day ever.

but Paytun is just too much.

Saints go down, and go down hard on final drive of the game.

Colts 38 Saints 34

This game won’t even be close. NO will score first then get fucked up!!

Indy 35. NO 21

But my scoreline is 34-21 Saints

and Fujita wins the MVP as an extreme darkhorse

Co-MVPs: Manning/Garcon

Garcon will have single coverage all game and the Saints really don’t have a very good defense at all except for the forced turnovers.

Because I hate peitun mannung and the colts that much

I started a fanpost: funny super bowl prop bets.

number of times they show Kim Kard-ass-ian

total score vs. age of roger daltrey
etc.

got any other ideas? hit that fanpost.

I pick IND to take it 34-21 and Peyton grabs MVP… Mr Reggie Kardashian pulls a hammy

going with a 31-27 win…brees wins the MVP

As much as I hate the Colts, I can’t go with the Saints cause Obama is backing them, & just like Kansas’ basketball team showed us, anything Obama backs is sure to fail.

In a turnover fest.

MVP: Pierre Thomas with 150 yards rushing and 2 TD’s.

Fivehead will be too much for the saints D and pick them apart

I assumed Freeney & Wayne would be out or hobbled. If they both play, and it looks like Wayne is definitely a go, I don’t think the Saints can pull this off.

I think I’m gonna go frolic in the streets…

Life is good

As discussed above by Bryan72076, the Saints do not have a great defense…….they do not even have a good defense. The Vikes moved the ball up and down the field all game long, nearly doubling the Saints in total yardage. They put up 4 TD’s but they did not win because of TO’s. They put the ball on the turf 6 times, but other than the Farve-Peterson handoff fumble just before halftime, the Saints actively forced the rest of those fumbles. The Farve brain fart INT at the end of regulation of course was also a major factor. The way the Vikes were moving the ball on that last drive it seemed a certainty that the game would end with a FG by the Vikes, not the Saints.

So the $64K question is can the Saints force enough TO’s to keep the score close? Manning does not make bad throws. He does not take hits in the pocket. Both he and Farve bit the turf in the conference championship games when they saw unavoidable pressure coming. I see that as a smart, but very pussified move, and it denies the fans seeing one of the best parts of the game, a crunching QB sack. The Saints will not get multiple INT’s.

Can the Saints strip the ball away from the Colts receivers and RB’s? To me that is THE key to the game. Without the TO’s the Saints forced in the conference championship game we would be watching Farve-Manning. Thank god that did not happen. I am cheering for the Saints and hope they can deny Manning being deified as “one of the all time greatest QB’s”. Saints win a shootout 41-38.

Back-and-forth scoring with the Saints kickin a FG to win it. So far in the playoffs, the Colts have faced defenses as good as the Saints, but not an offense anywhere close. The Saints on the other hand have played as good of offenses and defenses as the Colts. Again, no one pulls ahead for good and it turns out to be a nailbiter.

Rooting for the Saints

….I do not dislike the Colts, even though I’m a Texans fan. What’s not to like about Peyton Manning? He’s got game gifted by God, not to mention Daddy Arch, and he seems to be a humble guy. Every time somebody mentions his recods he says something to the effect of “I just feel humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as those players”.

So, BRB, don’t hate me, but I don’t hate the Colts. I think New Orleans will surprise people.
