Are you ready for some football!!

Me heart wants the Saints to take it, but me brain says Manning is a great QB & wants another ring before he retires. Hmmm..decisions, decisions...

[Bug]

Go Saints!!!!

[Basil Dreadflint]

I haven't placed any bets yet either. This is a tough one to bet on.

[Li Wildtimbers]

i hoping the Colts pull off the win but with the Colts having injuries, the Saints might take it.

48 Hours and 14 minutes to Geaux

Factoids:

1. Since 2002 when the Conferences were divided into Four 4 team Divisions, the NFC South is the first Division to have all 4 teams make the Super Bowl.

2. There has never been a Punt Return for a TD in the Super Bowl.

3. If you use a timer to Start/Stop the time only from Snap/Kick to Whistle; an average NFL game is only 11.5 minutes of actual play time.........The Halftime show by the Who will be 12 minutes.

I know this will be a good game, and even though I personally want the Colts to win, I am fine with either team walking away with the title.

I want the Colts to win mostly because that is my favorite team. Plus, of the two they have been the most consistent team of the decade, and should have had more than one ring to show for it (05, 07, and 08 for example).

Just another fact to add - The last time these two teams had a shot at the Superbowl (2006), the conference title game was almost exactly the same. Colts rallied from a large deficit of points to beat an AFC East team in Indianapolis; the Saints played the NFC North Champion. Then the Superbowl went on to be played in Miami, and for the first time, in the rain.

For the first time since I can remember I have no clear favorite or at least a team that might look better than the other.

I don't remember seeing the best teams of each conference play.

[Sven Osymthe]

I don't remember seeing the best teams of each conference play.

The last time that happened was when the Bills lost to the Cowboys over a decade and a half ago. Prior to that, i'm not sure when.

[The Skirata Clan]

Oh yeah, at The Rose Bowl, right.

[Kid Heartbreaker]

Unavoidable Super Bowl Fact:

The Loser of todays game will be the 13th different loser in the last 13 years!

[The Skirata Clan]

So, in 31 occasions the same team lost? I don't understand.

[Sven Osymthe]

Congrats Saints and their fans But if their division keeps going that way.. Tampa Bay will be the Champions?

And Skirata, that means the loser of the Super Bowl has been different each time in the last 13 games.

[The Skirata Clan]

Next year it will be Browns Vs. Buccaneers.

Edit: I got the Interception bet, and the More Points in second half bet, and the Who scores first bet. I don't remember the other bets. And I didn't bet on a winner.

[Sven Osymthe]

Switch the Lions with the Buccaneers (although that is the NFC title game), and it sounds about right!

[The Skirata Clan]

Don't leave The Raiders/Browns AFC title.
