Since my Chargers lost, effing Kaeding choked AGAIN in post season play, I think the Saints might take it. I think it will be a Saints-Colts superbowl this year.I had predicted that San Diego would win the Super Bowl this year, but I have never been so glad to be wrong.
J-E-T-S - Jets! Jets! Jets!
Who's your pick?

The Jets will rattle Peyton's bones and teach them a lesson for taking the last game off and letting them in the playoffs. Peyton's after game presser will have ref's to protection problems and he will throw the O-line under the bus tactfully. Then 2 weeks later The Vikings will kill the Jets in the most boring Super Bowl since the Bears crushed the Patriots. And no Favre won't retire either. Not until he is season ending injured during a game and cant play.

Here’s my thoughts...Jets aren't that good. Manning will have no problem. For me its hard to bet against Manning. When he is on, he’s unstoppable. They will march down the field and score every time.
I have been rooting for the Vikings and Saints throughout the season. This should be a great game! I would like to see Vikings win. I respect Farve and still follow a few of the Sooners that now play there. I believe the Saints are better rounded team and will probably win. Brees is an excellent QB who is getting better and better each year.
So I think it will be Colts and Saints. I would like the Saints to win, but wouldn't bet against Manning!

Let me just defend my beloved Jets, with a completely biased analysis.
The Jets have the best defense in the NFL having given up about 14+ points a game. Other than a late TD scored against the prevent defense trying to run out the clock, the Jets held the high powered Chargers offense to just 7 points for the first 57 minutes.
The Jets had the best running game in the NFL. They can control the ball and keep Manning off the field, provided they stay in the game early.
Their weakness is the QB position, but having won 7 of their last 8, the coaches have been able to hold the reigns on Sanchez by only allowing him to throw high percentage passes, and the strong running game has allowed him to throw at will using short, play action passes. He was 12 of 15 against the Bengals in the 1st playoff game.
As long as the Jets stay within 7 to 10 points, they have a very good chance to win this game. If the Colts jump on them early, or if the Jets can't run the ball for some reason, it will be very difficult for them to make a big comeback with the young QB.
They beat every AFC division winner, S.D., Indy, N.E., and Cincy twice. They also only gave up 7 defensive points in a loss against New Orleans earlier this year, but Sanchez fumbled in the end zone and the special teams gave up a TD to blow the game. As I said, Sanchez won't take those chances any more.
This will be a lot like the Patriots / Giants Super Bowl game where the Pats came in as 14 point favorites, but the Giants' D and running game controlled the game and beat the heavily favored Pats.

Me too..been watching and pulling for them ever since Adrian Peterson was picked by the Vikings...But the opposing defenses sure cover him up in a hurry..he hardly gets a chance to do his magic in open field....I was raised on the Packers since the Vince Lombardi days, but I guess I followed Favre to the Vikings..:worried:

Did you see Favre when he threw that deep pass for a TD (it was beautiful) when they beat the snot out Dallas last weekend?..I thought for sure he was gonna get a penalty for excessive celebrating..LOL

Sorry Tom, I forgot you were a Jets fan. LOL. Its just my opinion. Mainly out of ignorance as I don't follow the Jets that much. I've been burned by selections Jet players on my fantasy football team in the past. The stats sound good, but I am not budging. Colts will win, and I don't see it being close.

I always like Peyton's style on and off the field..I think his a good man and can rally the Colts to their fullest potential..But I think it will be like what Sugar said.

No problem. Believe me - I too have been disappointed by the Jets... for 40 years. They only seem to win when they aren't supposed to. They were 17-point underdogs in 1969, so this may be their year.
Favre had a great game. I watched the entire thing, and he was impressive. So was the Minnesota defensive line. Romo had no time to throw.
If they play as well against New Orleans, they're going to the superbowl. The real problem is that Brees is a very quick passer. He throws a lot of sharp, quick short ones, and doesn't need as much time in the pocket as Romo. New Orlean's running game is better also.

Technical good news/badnews,
Technically the good news is the Jets had at least 7 maybe 8 runbacks on them that would account for 49 points minimum. Thats 49 points NOT given up by the defense. So Tom, if you used points against and averaged games played to get 14+ given up by the defense then that number will be even lower defensively speaking. Technically the bad news?....see the first sentence of this comment.

Me too !!
He and a few others simply confirm 'Destiny' and that some things are undoubedly 'Destined to Happen'.
We had the Colts long before INDY had them with Johny Unitus in Baltimore, MD.
Sugar, I'm impressed !! not that you're standing up to Tom :embarrest: but that you're up on this stuff
The Stats honestly make no difference .... Destinity will prevail....
COLTS will play an excellent game .....
Yes ... in this occasion... I will likely shout out and move my body in reflex movements ... and kind of go crazy....
Anyway ... if your looking for the winner .... think The Colts..

Really this all is no better than the donkeys on TV and radio spouting that they have"just gotten some late breaking game impacting information from my inside sources". "It will be available on a recorded message. Don't miss this opportunity" "I'm making this my biggest game of the year. My platinum 5 star play of the year."
That being said here's your money for the weekend---------
Take Jets+7 1/2
Take Vikes+3 1/2
Take over 53 Saints/Vikings.
Degenerate gamblers of the world unite!!!!
Take notice of how large Peyton's forehead will be in the press con after the game. It grows every season.

When it's all said and done -- the bulk will wonder how you knew the outcome with such incredible precision.
Some will say you were lucky :notrust: but not me.
I'll be the one saying Sugar made out like a bandit because she knows her Rahm.
Look at the calls -- how perfectly they line up....
....where's the luck in that.
So scoffers and disbelievers ---- beware -- cause in the end only one walks away with the trophy.
