Super Bowl Pick, 2010

Record for the playoffs: 5-5
Record against the spread: 5-5

Colts vs. Saints, Sunday at 6:25 p.m. (Colts favoured by 4.5)

This isn't going to be a blowout. If you think it's going to be a blowout, you probably shouldn't even watch the game. Actually, that's mean. You should watch the game. The reason I know it's not going to be a blowout is that the Colts aren't really a team that blows everyone out. They had a stretch early in the season where they blew everyone out, but now they just win. Which is fine. I'm going to make a wishy washy prediction in this one. I think the Saints are going to be inventive, and Sean Payton is going to call a quadruple reverse flea flicker early in the game, and the Colts are going to get into trouble. The problem for the Saints is, they're playing against Peyton Manning. And he's good at getting out of trouble. This game comes down to a final drive, with the Saints up 34-31, and Peyton Manning sticks it in to win. That's what she said. And that's what happens here.
Colts 38, Saints 34
