Tell Clark your opinion!

For the first time in 16 years, the top two seeds in the NFL playoffs meet in the Super Bowl. Naturally, the assumption is that we're in for one of the most competitive and memorable contests in the game's history.

I don't think so.

I say the Colts win and win big, and here's why: They're the best team in football and have the best quarterback in football. The only games they lost this year were ones they threw back. They've been to a Super Bowl before, winning it three years ago. And they can do what the Saints can't.

And that's stop their opponent's offense.

It's that last item that seals it for me, and I can already hear the groans on Poydras Street. The Colts ranked 18th in overall defense and struggled against the best quarterback they faced, New England's Tom Brady. I also know that the Saints' Drew Brees had more touchdown passes than Brady, a better passer rating than anyone out there and hasn't made a big mistake in two playoff victories.

But he won't do to Indianapolis what Peyton Manning will to the Saints, and that's shock and awe their pass defense.
