Super Bowl 44 Preview

Well its Saints-Indy in the Super Bowl, and in a year where Roger Goodell has said he wants to prevent teams from resting their starters at the end of the season two teams who did just that are the final two. The NFC title game also shows the issue with NFL overtime a team could fight for 6o minutes and not get the ball once in overtime. Another Irony is in the past 3 years Brett Favre's last meaningful pass has been a interception all with different teams. Now I am going to break down the Super Bowl position by position.
QB: No offense to Drew Brees, who is great, he is not one of the 5-10 greatest QBs of all time so the edge goes to Indy and Peyton Manning (by the way both Brees and Manning's backup Curtis Painter went to Purdue).
RB: Indy were last in rush O and the Saints have 3 RB (Thomas, Bush, Bell) Edge-Saints
WR+TE: This is close but after the game Garcon had and the way Collie bas played and the huge advantage they have at TE with Clark the Indy have the edge.
O-Line: I am a big believer in the Offensive Line matchup comes down to who has the best O-lineman in the game and in this game it is...Towson Alum Jermone Bushrod (Just kidding) its Colts Center Jeff Saturday so the edge here goes to the Indy
D-Line: This is such an easy choice one team has Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis the other does not edge Indy.
Linebackers: A very close matchup but I love the way that Brackett and Session are playing so the edge goes to that team from Indy.
Defensive Backs: Darren Sharper gives the edge to the Saints in this lackluster matchup
Kicker: One Kicker is a multi-time Super Bowl Championship the other has not made a kick of longer then 40 yards this year so Indy gets the edge.
Punter: Who really cares but McaFees versatility gives the team from Indy the edge again.
Returners: Reggie Bush vs. Chad Simpson and TJ Rushing clear advantage Saints.
Coaching: Caldwell has not lost a game where his starters have played 60 minutes and then you throw in Tom Moore and Howard Mudd the edge goes to Indy.
Intangibles: Peyton and Co. were in a Super Bowl 3 years ago while the Saints only have 3 players with Super Bowl Experience edge Indianapolis.
Prediction in a good but not classic game Indy gets their 3rd Super Bowl 34-24 MVP: Peyton.
