versus
Indianapolis opens this morning as a 4 point favorite. Discuss the game here.
New Orleans wont match up well at all with Indy's offensive weapons. Comes down to how well Thomas and Bush play.
I think it's more of the same for Indy. They'll adjust at half time and win the second half. The Saints, however, have the firepower to jump on Indy early and if Indy falls too far behind, winning the second half may not be good enough. Also, I'm not sure Indy's defensive halftime adjustments will work against the Saints offense. Having said that, I don't see Indy turning the ball over 5 times like the Vikes. I think it comes down to 2 things. Can the Saints D slow down the Colts at all? How well do Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush play. They should have openings since the Colts shouldn't be able to stack the box like they did against the Ravens and Jets. In the end I think the Colts win because of Manning's time management at the end of the game, but I think this will be the shoot out everyone is hoping for.
The Jets should not have been able to keep that game as close as they did against Indy but they did. Garcon and Collie are not going to be surprising the Saints who took on a much tougher team in the Vikings so I am not about to consider this as more of the same for the Colts.
Just like the NO - Vikings game the Super Bowl should go down to the wire and either team is equally capable of walking away with the win.
