Super Bowl XLIV has the potential to be one of the more entertaining Super Bowls of all time. Both teams have the ability to make big plays offensively at the drop of a hat, add to that, the ability to make big plays defensively and on special teams (slight edge to the Saints here) and you have the makings of one exciting football game.
There is not doubt that the ability of the Brees to spread the ball around to no less than five different targets and the big play ability of Reggie Bush and Pierre Thomas can wreak havoc on any defense. Meanwhile defensively, the Saints have created turnovers all year led veteran defensive back Darren Sharper.
The big question for the Saints is, will they be able to extract the ball from Peyton Manning and the methodical Colts offense at the same clip they have all year? I'm not so sure.
Honestly, I have been concerned about the Saints for several weeks now, especially offensively, as they seemed to have bogged down a bit. They did explode against a very troubled Cardinals defense, but struggled for most of the second half against the Vikes despite being handed the ball consistently by their defense.
Ultimately, I think experience prevails Sunday in Miami. "WHO DAT"? "DAT BE" Peyton Manning and the Colts.

There are two ways the Saints can this game: turnovers & Reggie Bush. If the Saints can moxy up a couple of Manning picks, and Reggie Bush has a massive game (like he did against the Cards'), the Saints can prevail. However that being said (can), The SHOE says this game goes down to the final minutes of the game and wouldn't be surprised of we get to witness an OT finish with this Super Bowl!! If I absolutely had to make a bet ATS, I would take the points, but the SHOE will pass (like a sissy), on today's game and hope for some strange numerical scoring- send all square winnings to The SHOE!
