Whats up people? its super bowl week and we got to figure out whats going to happen. i have been looking at several different things. the thing im looking at right now is when these 2 teams play a team that is ranked in the top 5 in passing offense, and the colts have played 3 teams ranked in the top 5. Houston twice, and New England. in these games the defense of the colts have given up an average of 356 yards in the air and 26 points. all 3 of these games the colts had dwight freeney, one of the best pass rushers in the game. i would have to think that the colts' defense is not going to be as good when the ball is in the air with out freeney rushing the passer. so now we are giving brees extra time to throw the ball against a team that gives up 350+ passing yards when playing the best passing teams. now the saints have only played a top 5 passing team once this year, the pats. brady only had 237 yards and the pats only scored 17 points. it was the 4th best job the saints did on defense this year and it was against one of the best passing teams and qb's. so what i got from this is that the saints defense do better against better passing teams. combine that with the fact that freeney is out (im assuming he is going to be out) and i have to give the edge to the saints on defense in this game.
offense and special teams report to come... also a report on the "if" factor.
