This is my prediction. The Saints are hungry, driven and their defense wants a piece of Peyton Manning. I predict that Manning will be knocked out of the game at the beginning of the third quarter. Then the Saints will own the Colts. The final score will be 34 to 27 Saints. By the way, I hate the New Orleans Saints. I want the BALTIMORE Colts to win.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Football is speed. It is physical and it is tough and it can be wicked. But you can’t hit what you can’t catch.
And you cannot negate an offense that gives you the sharpest digs, the cleanest cuts, the prickliest execution.
That is why the best NFL coaches throughout the game’s history have always preached that their best players, their best teams, are not hindered by thinking. They know the schemes. But paramount, they use their speed in uninhibited ways. They play fast. They make the game a tornado. You are left spinning in your cleats.
This is what we have in the New Orleans Saints.
FanHouse TV: Stars Weigh InMuch of the nation and the Indianapolis Colts are sleeping on the Saints offense and its ability to play the game faster and quicker and cleaner than you can defend them. You take a well-oiled offense like this against a good Colts defense with a very suspect, inexperienced secondary in spots and I see the Saints offense having its way in Super Bowl XLIV. I see the Saints offense having much more success against the Colts defense than the Colts offense will have against the Saints defense.
I think Drew Brees is going to slice this Colts defense.
I think coach Sean Payton is going to creatively pluck this Colts defense with a well-conceived, effective game plan and play-calling.
It does not matter how many points the great Peyton Manning produces for the Colts. The Saints will simply produce more.
This Saints offense in its prime reminds me of some of Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh’s best offense. The players are an extension of each other. The plays are set up to complement each other. The multiple pieces in personnel make the offense flexible and probing. The mismatches created can be overwhelming.
