The Daily Sports Rant

Ok, what a quiet week and half and no major controversies to chime in on…

I am not counting NBA ball.   Not my favorite but will be interested to see if the Cavs/LeBron make the finals though…

Anyhooo..  Colts/Saints on tap this Sunday (boo, no more football next week!)

Will it end this way on Sunday???

Very brief assessment (Colts giving 6.5 points as of today and the Over/Under at 56.5)  The latter number is totally crazy and the highest ever for a Super Bowl..

Colts can pass the ball and their D is underrated…but, Dwight Freeney has a torn ankle and will be limited at best if he plays.  This is huge as much as people downplay it.  Less pressure on Drew Brees means more time to pass, which means more time to find open receivers…

Saints can run and pass the ball well.  They are not easily shaken when down early.  They have come back from really big deficits this year when it looked like they were done.  Their D is overrated, but it got shredded by the Cards and Vikings the past 2 games.

Unless they can get close to Manning, this will be an easy Colts win.  If they can get him to move in the pocket, it will mess up the pass routes and zones…

Ok, so what do I think?

Colts will win but I think it will be close, something like 28-26….I dont think they will cover the spread, so you know where my head and $$$ is at.

No matter what will be a great game even though my teams arent in the mix.

Latah kids.
