Top to bottom I think Saints are a better team. But Manning has entered the "never bet against" zone for me.
Colts 28 Saints 27

Colts 34 Saints 24
And the Saints need a late score to make it happen.

For some reason, my woman's intuition is telling me the Saints are going to win. Something about Sean Payton and two weeks of gameplanning. And Pierre Thomas running for 150 yards.
But as Chad indicated, if I were putting money on the game, I wouldn't be putting money on the game.

Give it up for the refs. They stayed in the shadows today.
Good game I guess. It pains me that Reggie Bush now has a Super Bowl ring.

Makes it worse. When the Falcons crapped out in 1999 it was easier to play the "not sure we'd've won card."

I was being sarcastic.
The only solace I have from all those Browns losses to the Broncos in the AFC championship is that they probably would have lost in the Super Bowl anyway.
It's way worse when you feel like you would have won it all. See, Indians 2007, Cavs 2008.

Unfortunately this would have been the PERFECT setup to abolish the overtime rules. Can you imagine the outrage if the Colts had tied it up then the Super Bowl was determined by a coin flip, with the opposing QB sitting on the bench the entire overtime? That would have been beautiful.

'"I'm sure when Peyton Manning was growing up he always wanted to throw the TD pass that gave the Saints a Super Bowl win," ESPN the Magazine's Jorge Arangure wrote after the game. "Now he has."'
Is that too cruel?

Here's a fact: Drew Brees didn't throw a single interception throughout the playoffs.
