I wish I had some key insights to offer on the Indianapolis/New Orleans matchup, but I don't. Like most, I expect a high scoring game and I'll go with the Colts 34-27. The Colts are 7-1 ATS on the road this year, and having been in the big game before has to give them an edge. The New Orleans defense is suspect and gave up tons of ground in their playoff game vs Minnesota. Vikings turnovers saved the Saints in that one, and that actually has been a pattern for the Saints all season. Super Bowls have been very competitive matchups in recent years, and the NFC team has exceeded expectations the last couple years. In 2009 the AFC team won 37 of the 64 games against the NFC, but only covered 29 of those. The Colts are favored by 5, but based on stats that line should never have gone beyond 2.5. Despite that I'm going with the Colts based on their experience and superior QB.
