Super Bowl: Colts Will Stomp Saints

Posted on | February 7, 2010 | 52 Comments

When making football prognostications, it is important to be bold. One team will win and one will lose. Don’t be mealy-mouthed about it. There’s a 50% chance of being wrong, but who cares? Go for it.

The Colts have Peyton Manning. The veteran quarterback will make the difference.

Who dat going to stomp the Saints? Indianapolis, 34-21.

    My son and I are pulling for the Saints. We’re Bears fans and the Colts clobbered the Bears at the Superbowl few years back. F’m.

    I’d like to see the Saints win. They’re from the South and they’ve never won before.

    I hope not.

    Miss Manning will have to employ extra pads on her backside, because Saints Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams is channeling Buddy Ryan! When Gregg was DC for the Titans (in the late ’90’s, up to 2000 I think) his favorite line to his charges was “their backup quarterback can’t beat us”.

    I plan on taking an extry shot or so of hard likker every time Miss Manning is planted in the turf. Hopefully for my sobriety, he’ll be out by halftime.

    (The backup QB for Indy is Curtis Painter, btw… )

    I don’t have a dog in this fight, so instead I’m hoping that this Super Bowl forces the NFL to change its overtime rules once and for all.

    What I want to see: a back-and-forth dramatic game that goes to overtime, then the receiving team on the kickoff for OT runs it back all the way for a touchdown.

    With any luck, several hundred thousand fans won’t even be back from the bathroom yet by the time the game is over.

    Then maybe the NFL will finally do something about its overtime rules. Granted, the NFL OT rules are still better than the college OT rules, but that’s like saying a kick in the shins is better than a knife in the ribcage.
