Super Bowl XLIV
     Indianapolis v New Orleans (my stellar 3,800 word recap of the greatest game I've ever watched)

I've been a Saints fan since I was a little guy, close to 20 years so I am very happy to be talking about the Super Bowl and mentioning New Orleans not just as the venue, but as one of the participant teams  WHO DAT!--to be honest, it has only been five days and the fact that they won has still not fully set in on me.  But my voice is starting to come back and I am not waiting another 20 years to take me shot at two-bit post game commentary of my team in the big game.  And it was a hell of a game--here is why I say that.

NFL Playoff
Championship Weekend

-Minnesota @ New Orleans
This is the match up the Saints were hoping for. I like them big in this game--there will be scoring on both sides, but my thinking is
New Orleans 35 Minnesota 24

Brees has a quick release by nature, and Peyton calls the offense with that in mind so it makes it difficult to get any kind of pressure. That will hurt the Vikings, with the trench-monsters they have being a huge part of their strength. If Jared Allen and Ray Edwards are going to be able to do their thing, the secondary is going to have to map out perfect zones to try and make him hang on a bit longer than normal.
