The Vikes put up some serious yards, and its well known that the key to beating the Saints is running the ball effectively. I think Taylor and Peterson were a tough test. I dont think Indy has the RBs that the Vikes do. The Saints D is built on a bend but dont break mentality and on forcing turnovers. Those 5 turnovers underscored the beating Favre took.
I also like how the Saints road to the game has shaped up, as in my mind the Saints will be better prepared for the big game. The Saints beat two hall of fame QB's on the way to the Super Bowl in Warner and Favre. They also beat the best Defense in the country in the Vikes. I know the Jets claim that title as their own, but their strength of schedule should be considered. The Colts on the other hand faced the offensive juggernauts of Sanchez and Flacco. It goes without saying that Brees is the best QB the Colts have faced all year.
The media is calling for a blowout win by the Colts. I see it close with the winner pulling away in the 4th Quarter.
Saints-34, Colts-31
