Sunday night the New Orleans Saints will face the Indianapolis Colts in Miami for the biggest prize in football. The game features two exciting offences run by two great quarterbacks. There will be offence. A lot of points will be scored. Since so many points will be scored its probably coming down to which defence can make some stops. Both offences have multiple weapons. Both offences can score from anywhere on the field. Both offences make defensive coordinators quiver in their boots. The defence that can get it done a bit of the time will win the game for their team.
When I try to pick a winner I try to find something that sets one team apart. In this case it is Dwight Freeney of the Colts. If you have never watched him play, Freeney is an undersized Defensive End who plays on the right side of the defensive line. He is fast and strong. he can blow past the best left tackles in the game. He is a difference maker. He also has a torn right ankle. Reports are that his ankle is over 50% torn. A bad right ankle while playing on the right side is a bad combination. He is currently listed as questionable. If he does go I can't see him playing like he normally does and I think that is the difference maker.
I predict the Saints to win the next Superbowl. Dwight Freeney will not be giving Drew Brees fits all day long so the Saints will be able to move the ball.
Well, we will all know if I was right by bedtime on Sunday.
