Super Bowl XLIV Preview by A. Aguilar

First, I must say that if Peyton Manning is in the field I know which side to bet on. Of the last 26 games they have attempted to win, the Colts have done so 25 times, losing only once in an extension in which Manning did not touch the ball. That's just a small statistic to keep in mind.

The Saints will play better than they did this past Sunday; they have a chance to beat the Colts. Brees can take advantage of some loopholes in the secondary, especially on 3rd down situations, but he can also suffer from the pass rush of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis. The Colts can generate enough pressure to upset Brees' efforts.

Looking at the game from the other side, the Saints' defense will try to do the same with Manning, but his OL may be interrupted by reading the blitzes and due to the ease with which #18 can find an open man receiver or a matching deal. Darren Sharper and Vilma will have to offer the best they have.

The Saints are higher on special teams. The Colts should work on coverage kicks, where they are not very skilled, because this can lead to some dissatisfaction with performance. They are surely working this entire week to better keep a hold on the ball. They can't say they don't know about this.
