I actually think the Saints will win with a score like 37-31, and the game will probably hinge on one key turnover late in the game. Either an INT or a fumble. Just a feeling. The Saints can point with the Colts, and it should be back and forth lead-changing throughout the game.

The advantage goes to the Saints better ground game, but I think your defense will be bedeviled by the Colts screens and slants. Your key players will be your safeties, and Vilma has to keep up with Manning's pre-snap adjustments by barking out his own line changes.

San Diego has been competitive with Indy in the past by doing just that. Our defensive captain, ILB Stephen Cooper, would counterpoint every adjustment Manning made at the line of scrimmage. Sometimes his adjustments were dummy calls (no actual line adjustment made) but it seems to work very well for the Chargers. We also kept one linebacker (Shaun Phillips) as a spy on Dallas Clark, but admittedly the Chargers have not played the current Colts offense that makes great use of Collie and Garcon.
