Its the Friday before the Super Bowl and as the resident NFL addict, I feel obligated to make a prediction on the game.

First let’s cover the gambling aspect:

Indianapolis is 4.5 pt favorites right now, so If I was going to be on the game, I’d take New Orleans getting the 4.5 pts. The Colts have the fire power to blow anybody out that they want, however most of their games this season ended by them winning by no more than a touchdown. With the weapons the Saints have on offense, look for them to always be in the game and at least keeping it close.

The over/under is 56.5 pts. This seems like a no-brainer. With potent offenses and suspect defenses on both teams, the safe bet is definitely the over. It wouldn’t surprise me though if the defense stepped up in this game. Robert Mathis can put pressure on Drew Brees to force him into a bad decision, and Darren Sharper is one of the best ball hawks in the game and may be able to snatch an errant Peyton Manning pass out of the air. But if I had to, I’d go with the over.

As for the game itself:

Colts 31, Saints 28.

I hope I’m wrong since I’ll be rooting for the Saints, but the Colts were almost perfect for a reason this season. They appear to be doing everything right, and I believe they’ll have just enough to edge out a close victory on Sunday.
