Colts have not faced an offense of this caliber all season long. Saints will be able to move the ball at will against the Colts 18th ranked D. I expect Greg Williams to try and come up with somethings to contain Manning. You wont be able to stop him but maybe you can limit them to FGs, that's when the Saints will take advantage of it and score TD's.
If the Colts win this game it will be by 3 or less, take the Saints +pts or if you have the balls (i would never do it) but take the Saints ML. My advice let the spread get up to +6 if you can, then grab the Saints. The best bet would be to take the over. :D

Both better defensive teams, Ravens and Jets couldn't do it and how could you expect Greg Willaims and Saints will do it?

Indy just dismantled the best defense in the league. If that same defense shows up for Saints that let shred them to ribbons I think Indy will get the over on their own. Indy in a route Saints happy to be here for 1st time ever while it's a business trip for Indy. I will now dub Peyton Manning the greatest QB in the hisotry of the NFL

Indy is giving up 22pureppg on road. Remember the Jacksonville game on NFL Network....Indy gave up 31 and the road game b4 that they played houston and gave up 27. Indys on the road...not home

I really believed the Over would be 62 in this game so no doubt i'm in already at 56. Colts will put up a big number in the 37-42 range so not looking for much from the saints. This one comes down to defense and saints have nothing. Indy is quietly a good defense and even though this is considered a road game it's not your typical road game. They can give up their 22 pg ave and still win this game by 2 scores easily. I'm seeing a 37-24 kinda game right now.

Saints have nothing??? They certainly did not win with their offense yesterday, it was the defense that kept them in the game. I will have the Saints plus whatever (now 5.5) and the ML. Saints are Destiny's team this year. I truly believe it.

Saints will force turnovers and Williams has TWO weeks to prepare for the Colts. I expect this game to be really close.......
Every coaches/coordinators will have same TWO weeks to prepare for this matchup, i don't see Greg Williams has extrta advatange over Colts' coaches. However, i do agree that Saints are better on the Turnover stat, 6-3 over Colts in playoffs.

Vegas has hotels galore built based on destiny.......I don't think I can say it any better than SPLOOGE has already. My suggestion is to cut and paste his comments, and thank him later.

Right now, I like the points with the Saints. I think the line/expected the line to be -3 mainly because of the Peyton/last game factor and I think the public play is Indy/Peyton. The line movement very much incorporates the last games played by each team and like the Texas/Alabama BCS champ contest, the last great game (Fla)/dud (Nebreaska) is what most will tend to base their play on.
If you consider that the Colts beat out two teams that made the playoffs in their very last games of the season, and that they did not face SD, arguably, the best team in the AFC at the end of the season. The Pats and Bengals limped into the playoffs and did not provide much of a playoff-caliber opponent to benchmark the performance of the other teams. The SD game came down to an interception and a long run. Points can be argued, but I am trying keep level about how dominant the Colts are.
As for the Saints, they looked inferior to Minny, but give credit to Minny, but also give credit to NO and consider that good teams like the Saints can and do find ways to win (e.g., similar to this year's come-from behind Colts). Saints beat up a fairly athletic Cardinal team and should be given some credit for being able to fully utilize two weeks of preparation.
My point of this is that I am leaning the Saints plus the points because I think these two teams are very equal and it is bit of a coin toss, again except for the public love of Peyton and the last game played by each team.

guys...think about this factor....Indy's D looked good against who again?
Ravens powerful offense?
Sanchez's gun sligging arm?
im rooting for the colts but i pray this line moves to -7, i will be all on the saints...
Brees is going to pick apart that secondary like he did to minnesota today. Indy's D has not faced a high powered offence in a while. when they faced teams like houston and the pats they got thrashed. even though they won they still gave up tons of yards and pts.
superbowls tend to end in the mid 20s area.
colts 28-24.
