I'm sure you guys realize how difficult it is to select 10 consecutive
Superbowl winners against the spread. Instead of going into a lot of
statistics I have more success taking an overview of the big game.
Stats can be too deceiving.
Peyton Manning always seems to win against teams with great defenses and not a lot of offense. The Jets and Baltimore are two good examples, last week in the playoffs. Don't forget that 2007 Superbowl against Chicago. The Bears had a great defense and an average offense.
However, it you look at Peyton's history against teams with a high scoring offensive and an average defense, like New England, San Diego, those games seem to come down to the wire.
New Orleans proved this year they can score with the best of them. The Saints scored...48 points IN Philadelphia..they put up 48 points on the Giants..38 on new England..45 on Arizona. my friends that was no fluke.
And..31 points on Minnesota last week when they came back time after time against a team with 9 Pro Bowl players.( That's almost an all star team ! ) Causing 8 fumbles or interceptions, recovering 5 of them. That was very impressive.
You say, well they should have won because Favre threw an interception. Yes, it's true, Favre shouldn't have thrown the last pass. But He Did, and the Saints stepped up and stopped it cold.
So, Peyton will have his work cut out for him this time.
Not to worry if the Saints are a little jittery in the beginning, they have a history of come backs. Take that game AT Miami this year when they were down 24-3 and scored 46 points, 22 points in the 4th quarter. Not to mention the other 5 times they came from behind to win games this year.
Indeed the Colts have a history of come backs too. And they could possibly eek this one out. Nevertheless, I am convinced that the Saints will be right there at the wire, score for score.
So, for the record, my 11th consecutive Superbowl winner against the spread is the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS + 5.5
Good Luck,
Don Juan

Favre should have never throw that int, you are correct, but what about the other FIVE TO's....Minny was the better team in that fight, NO was very fortunate the Minny turned the ball over so often, otherwise, would not have been close. Just my two cents. Definately not a Vike fan. Actually, was rooting for the Saints. But again, not the better team. Now, maybe without a healthy Freeny, might be a good game. No bets, just going to enjoy!
