Every time a Colts player gets into trouble... they are gone. Ed, Johnson, Marvin Harrison, Darryl Reid, Dominic Rhodes (although they brought him back after 1 season in Oakland). They simply don't put up with bad behavior.

Brees is a stud.

For me this game comes down to if the Colts protect Peyton Manning from your abusive pass rush. If they accomplish that... I think the Colts win. Pulling away in the 2nd half. Not a blow out... but by more than a TD. This also assumes that the Colts don't put the ball on the ground, which they are not notorious for doing. Otherwise... it'll be a long day for the boys in Blue... and the Black and Gold will have a happy SB.

The Colts defense will get after Brees. They have a couple GREAT pass rushing DE's and the DT's are WAY WAY improved from years past. That combined with a new Defensive coordinator that blitzes once in a while now... they are a whole new defense.

Either way... their could not be 2 more classy teams in the big show. It's nice to see good guys not finish last for a change.
