Did it last week, and it brought the Saints good luck, so trying again!
New York Jets at Indianapolis Colts
A lot of people are jumping on the Jets' bandwagon, but I think Peyton will eventually figure their defense out and make enough big plays to win. The Jets offense, unless aided by turnovers, won't be in scoring position often. Indy plays clean and wins.
Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints
This game has split my region of the world. We love the home town boy (Favre), but we love the Saints, too. I'm pulling for the Saints because I root for the team over an individual athlete. Whoever wins gets my support for the Super Bowl. I think the Saints' O-line can hold back Minnesotas' D-line enough to give Brees time to pick on the Vikings' standard secondary. AP might have a big run or two, but won't do much outside of that. It'll be a very close game, but the Saints pull it out.

I'm going to pick a Colts/Saints Super Bowl. The Jets won't be a walkover for Indy though, there's no free lunch in Conference Title games.

I'm not a huge football fan... but I was rooting for the Colts and the Saints. One of my best friends is a die-hard Colts fan, so I was basically supporting him... but my hope is that the Saints win the Superbowl. The city of New Orleans needs a reason to celebrate. They're still hurting. (I'm doing a play right now about wetland disintegration and hurricane damage in southern Louisiana, so it's become slightly personal for me).

Listening to the game on the radio is a pain in the ass. You hear the cheer or general noise then have to wait to be told what happened.
Thankfully the superbowl is being shown on BBC so don't have the same problem for that game,

Will be eagerly watching the Super Bowl. But I am even more keen for the Senior Bowl right now, scope out some of this year's draft prospects and see who's for real.

You're totally right, Matt. Even here in MS, we're not back to 100%, and I don't think we're going to get there any time soon. New Orleans is even worse. The money-making sectors are back, but there is so much desolation. Sean got to see some of it on his trip here last year.
Through it all, New Orleans is still a fun city with a life and spirit all of its own. Big cities in the US tend to resemble one another, but New Orleans has its own unique flavor that everyone should experience at least once.

This was the first time in A LONG time that I didn't care who won either game. I would have been alright with any Superbowl match up....personally, I was hoping to see Farve make it to the superbowl one last time....but I'm alright that he didn't....with that said, I am excited about the Saints vs. Colts....I don't mind either team, but I would rather see the Saints win this year!
