Just looking through all the game reviews for the week and thought what a juicy match up if the SB was between the Saints and the Colts. Have to say I've been really impressed with the Saints and think they will be THE team to beat in the big one. Who yer got?
I like the Saints and the Vikings in the NFC, the Colts and the Bengals in the AFC... can you imagine Ocho Cinco in the playoffs ?
Saints/Dolphins rematch would be entertaining if the one game they played wasn't a fluke. (Also unlikely that Miami gets to the Super Bowl but whatever)
I'll be shocked if Indy wins a playoff game, they always have a great record and usually fall on their face in January.
I'd be most intrigued at this point by Saints/Bengals. It would guarantee a first-time SB winner. Saints-Colts would be interesting for the speed-on-speed matchups between the Saints passing offense and Colts defense, but I'd imagine that Thomas and Bell would be able to pound it up the middle all day and Manning would be forced to take over the offense, which he's been thus far unable to do in the postseason. I don't see Addai and Brown dominating. It would likely be a fairly lopsided game.
Saints vs Bengals would be great as it's two teams that have been garbage for most of my life with the occasional good season... honestly the worst realistic game for me would be Broncos vs Vikings. I'm sure it'd be great for ratings but I hate the Broncos and honestly the Favre lovefest would make me throw up.
