NFL Super Bowl 2010: Kickoff & Halftime Show

The 2010 NFL Super Bowl will feature the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints squaring off in Miami Florida. The Saints and their “Who Dat” nation (possibly one of the worst slogans ever) have had a great season with Drew Brees at the Helm. You know that if Peyton Manning is healthy the Colts will be in the playoffs. That is why this years superbowl is setting up to be a quarterback duel in Miami, and I for one can’t wait.

Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first before looking at the stats and my prediction.

@MattDSF Prediction
Winner: Indianapolis Colts
The Colts have the advantage of playing in a Super Bowl recently, they will not be happy with just making it to the Super Bowl. Plus too re affirm this I heard a stat that teams that are playing a recent super bowl participant are 5 and 14.

I also think that the Colts will Cover the 5.5 point spread. The Saints were lucky to get past the Vikings, and the Colts have looked like a machine in the Playoffs.

I am going to take the under, too many times I have bet the over because it is two offensive teams, but with two weeks to prepare I think the defenses will keep the game under the 56.5 point spread.
