From a Colts fan perspective...

The Colts pass defense is WAY tough. It has been all year. They give up very few big plays, and lead the league I believe in TD Passes allowed. They also have only given up 2 TD's off of turnovers all year, and one of those was the sack/fumble against the Jets after they pulled the starters. The defense only allowed the NFL's BEST rushing offense 86 yards last week. Sure the Saints are more balanced. granted... but the Colts Defense was #8 in the league for points allowed. And they are really stingy in the red zone.

No one can cover the Colts receiver corps man to man down the line. Sure Darrell Revis covered Wayne... but the other guys lit them up. LB's have a REAL tough time covering Clark. He's too fast for LB's and too big for most BD's. Then there is Garcon and Collie. Both had great seasons, and are on page with Peyton, and all are playing with a lot of confidence. Not to mention the RB out of thebackfield, all of which are pretty good receivers too.

The Vikings tougher than the Colts? Please. the Colts were 14-2 and THREW away their shot at perfection. They simply tossed it away against the Jets, then again vs the Bills. They did that in the BEST division in the NFL (AFC South - check the stats if you doubt me).

I like the Saints. They surely are not the Ain't anymore. I like Drew Brees, I mean he's from Purdue after all. The Saints got a good shot. The Colts are gonna have to bring it, no doubt. But, I solidly believe the oddsmakers have it right with the Colts as the favorite.

Either way... a great organization will win. Congrats to everyone involved.
