1. Rob, do you think the Saints will win the Super Bowl?
Hi Jason. Glad to help you out with your article. Personally, it is refreshing to see the Saints make the Super Bowl for the first time in their 43-year history. They have for the most part been the laughingstock of the NFL, at times referred to as the “Aints” while their fans often would wear paper bags over their heads during games because the team was so embarrassing to watch. But now that they have overcome their painful past, I believe they have a good shot at winning. The odds are against them because they face Peyton Manning and his incredible offense. But the Saints have an explosive offense themselves, so if their defense can contain the Colts from putting too many points on the board early, the Saints have a good shot at pulling this off. At least if they keep it close until the fourth quarter, they will give themselves a chance.

2. How do you think (Saints quarterback) Drew Brees will do?
I do believe Drew Brees will have a good game. He wasn’t himself in the NFC championship game against the Vikings where he was 17 of 31 for just 197 yards, but did throw three touchdowns. Those numbers don’t seem that bad – but for Brees who has been so efficient and explosive this season, it was a down game for him. But the main thing is he got through it and is still playing. If he can return to his form of the regular season where he put up incredible numbers – 34 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions and 4,388 yards – he will shine on super Sunday. He has so many weapons on offense that he should be able to sprinkle out a balanced attack that could keep the Colts guessing on defense.

3. How do you think (Colts quarterback) Peyton Manning will do?
Whenever you talk about a four-time league MVP in Peyton Manning and the best quarterback of our era, you can only expect that he will have a big game as he seeks his second Super Bowl title. He was second in the league during the regular season in passing yards with 4,500, and threw one less touchdown than Brees – 33 – but did throw five more interceptions, with 16. It always comes down to the offensive line, which has always been one of the best in the NFL. If they can protect Manning and give him the time he needs, he will have his way and will pick apart the Saints secondary. He was sacked only 10 times all season, which is hard to comprehend, so if he has the protection, he’ll be the Super Bowl MVP.

4. What do you think the score will be?
I am a little partial to the great story of the Saints making it for the first time ever and doing so just a few years after the city was devastated by Katrina. They are the sentimental pick because of their past and the city’s rebuilding. In my mind, if they can keep it close, they have a shot to win. I think they will keep it close, but in the end, the Colts will win 34-31. If that score comes to fruition, make sure you tell all your friends where you heard it! But really, if that is the score, it’s going to be one exciting Super Bowl! Good luck to you ! Enjoy the game and best to you in your future.
