Okay, so I’m making my pick. I know that the Saints are a great team and they have been stellar all year long. I know they went undefeated for a long period of time as well. I get it that the city of New Orleans is grabbing hope from this great story written in the stars. I’m aware of the fact that Drew Breese hasn’t won the big game. Any yet…
I know that the Colts went nearly the whole season undefeated, and many of those games were hardcore blow-outs. I get it that Manning has already one the big game. I’m aware that the supporting cast was not the same superstars of years past; with a rookie receiving core and all. I’m sure I’ve heard about 50 reports on the status of Dwight Freeney’s class 3 high ankle sprain.
However, I happen to think… {drum-roll please} … that the COLTS will win 31-27 over the SAINTS. Even more so, I think that the game will be close, nervous, and defense the first quarter and a half. About midway through the 2nd, the offenses will start to come alive and make it entertaining going into halftime. After a weird show by Who (yes The Who), the whole second half (I predict) will be a tug-o-war between the offensive prowess of Breese and Manning.
The game ender (predictive game ender of course) will be a late great drive by the SAINTS halted by a tragic turnover. The result will be that the not so high ranked COLTS D-Fense of past years will redeem themselves in this victory. And in the spirit of great athletes, I don’t think the turnover will be Breese’s fault. Instead, I see a receiver or running back coughing it up.
So, that’s my prediction… of course it could also be a blow out (ha ha). Either way I will be at Catalyst!
** DVR-ing the commercials for sure!
