Super Bowl XLIV: New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Colts

Sunday, February 7th 2010

Spread: Colts -4.5

Total: 56.5

Money Line: Colts -200, Saints +170

Key Storylines

Injury to Dwight Freeney

If anyone has been watching the line this week they know that it has fallen a point or a point and a half in some cases. The main reason for this is the injury to Colts DE Dwight Freeney (ankle). Freeney suffered a third degree sprain (which includes a torn ligament) in his ankle with two minutes left in the AFC Championship game. The Colts star DE will be a game-time decision but his effectiveness will surely be in question with a bad wheel.

The loss of Freeney could be a major factor in this game as the Saints will be able to have another receiving option available on pass plays if a running back or tight end isn’t needed to double or chip on the All-Pro. Giving Drew Brees more options is usually not a good recipe for success.

Colts Rookie CB Jerraud Powers

Powers has been a great surprise for a Colts secondary that has suffered through injuries to key players this season. Powers has excelled in his first year out of Auburn but was a scratch for the AFC Championship game with a bad foot. Powers has claimed that he is okay and will play, but it remains to be seen if he can cover the athleticism and speed of the Saints receiving core in his condition.

Saints TE Jeremy Shockey

Shockey still has a bitter taste in his mouth from having to watch his old team gel in his absence and go on a Super Bowl run. Shockey demanded a trade from the Giants following their Super Bowl victory and has been a man on a mission this season. Shockey is one of the best all around tight ends in the game with both solid blocking and receiving skills. Shockey is a mismatch for most teams and the Colts will have to game-plan for his unique abilities. That is of course if Shockey’s health holds up. Shockey has been having trouble for most of the postseason with various injuries and has been pretty banged up. Expect this warrior to keep on battling, but his ability to get open may be limited by injuries.

Peyton Manning vs. Gregg Williams’ Defense

This looks lopsided just writing it, like a mid-80’s Tyson boxing match. Gregg Williams is considered to be a very good defensive coordinator. Well Peyton Manning just chewed up and spit out the Jets number one ranked defense last week and they threw the kitchen sink at Manning. The Saints run a 4-3 base with tons of blitz schemes and try to hit the quarterback early and often. Peyton Manning has a +100 QB rating against the blitz this year and eats 4-3 defenses for breakfast. If Gregg Williams thinks he can hit Peyton, he would be the first one this year to accomplish this feat. Manning has impeccable timing with releasing the ball and always seems to know when to get rid of it and hasn’t made a big mistake in what seems like an eternity.

The Saints were lucky that the Vikings coughed the ball up against the Saints more than the Colts will for sure.

5dimes review: Peyton Manning is the only four-time MVP in NFL history. It won’t be his last, expect him to add a second Super Bowl MVP trophy to his collection, as Drew Brees just falls short on a historic performance by Peyton Manning.

Colts 38 – Saints 30
