Super Bowl Stampede

You know who the happiest 53 men in the country were two weeks ago when the Saints allowed the Vikings to finish themselves off that Sunday night in New Orleans?  The Colts.  Why?  Well, if the Saints needed 12 turnovers, questionable officiating and an overtime field goal to win the NFC title on their home field, then they aren't exactly going to have the should-be-undefeated Colts shaking in their horseshoes.

I know I've been hard on the Colts all year, and I still don't love that team.  But, they have the best player that has ever played the game on their side and he is brimming with confidence.  The Saints can score, sure, but the Vikings showed they can also be stopped.  The turnovers aren't going to come in bunches against the Colts, who should have this one wrapped up by the five minute mark.  As much as I've hated on them all year, I see no scenario where New Orleans defense stops Indy. 

Final score: Colts 34, Saints 20
MVP: Peyton Manning
Archie Manning shots:  Under 4 1/2
Carrie Underwood's National Anthem: Over 1:42
Hurricane Katrina mentioned: Under 2 1/2
Pete Townshend windmills: Over 5 1/2
Target of Smashed Guitar: Floor
Gatorade color:  Blue (taking the longshot here)
Who will the MVP thank first?  Teammates
Kim Kardashian's top color:  White
Eli Manning shots: Under 3
Super Bowl Champion Apparel before the final whistle?  Yes

Cheers,
TFAM
