Shadow Wrought's Journal: Super Bowl

I am very much looking forward to the Super bowl this weekend and will be perfectly happy with either team winning. I will be rooting for the Saints, but I think Manning and the Colts will be too much for them. I know there are lots of inclinations that this will be a high scoring affair, but I think there will be enough missed opportunities to keep the scoring reasonable.

Final Score:

Saints -- 27
Colts -- 31

PS- My random, bold prediction: Manning will score a rushing TD on a naked bootleg near the goal line.

I think if Freeney misses the game it will be a closer game, but still one that the Colts should win. I don't know if it was a suggestion or what Greg Williams actually said, but there was talk about NO having four distinct defense game plans: one for each quarter so manning couldn't adjust. I think that would end up being more confusing to the defense than the offense though...

should be fun - as I'm in the same boat. I don't care too much who wins, sort of pulling for the Colts.

Re:

I have some very good friends who are pulling for the Colts and a co-worker I know pretty well who is from Indianapolis is way going for them. It's fun talking to her about it because she is a total NFL geek. She beat her boyfriend and 7 other football guys in her fantasy league, too. By a lot;-)

The game is way better with a group of people, too.

Go Saints!

I'm with you, brotha. I'm actually a Pats fan, which means = sworn enemy of Colts. Hope your prediction pans out.

Re:

I think it would do wonders for NO for them to pull it off. I just don't know that they can, even with Freeney's injury.

Hrmmm...I'm not sure I'd count on him being injured [cnn.com]
