SUPER BOWL PREDICTION

By mark rogers
February 7, 2010

My last prediction was a little off...I predicted the Cowboys would beat the Vikings. Can't win 'em all.

So I'll try to redeem myself with this one.

The Colts will win Super Bowl 44 tonight...and it won't be close. Here's why:

With a win in the NFC Championship last week, the New Orleans Saints have done something no other New Orleans Saints team has ever done - they advanced to the Super Bowl.

The Saints and the whole city of New Orleans celebrated the NFC Championship win like they had just won the Super Bowl. If they lose tonight, the season will still be seen as a huge success. The team will still be celebrated and applauded around town. They will be seen as an inspiration no matter what.

I know. I was in New Orleans before they had even played a playoff game earlier this month and the city was already celebrating like they had already won the Super Bowl. Not a good sign.

On the other hand, the Colts and the city of Indianapolis could CARE LESS about winning the AFC Championship. Been there. Done that.

A loss tonight and they'll get booed back in Indy. The season will be seen as a huge, embarrassing failure. There will be talk of firings, trades and replacements. The season will be a complete, total and absolute loss.

That's a pretty big difference in mentality heading into the game.

Yeah, the Saints will have the inspiring story of the Hurricane Katrina disaster behind them. Drew Brees is great. They have a dynamic and aggressive defense. They are a great team and have some players that have big game and championship experience.

But it doesn't matter.

Tonight, you can throw records, match-ups, coaching advantages, statistics, rankings, strategy, execution and play-calling right out the window.

NONE of it matters.

The ONLY thing that matters tonight is that the Colts know what it's like to win a Super Bowl, and their season will be a complete waste if they lose.

And the Saints have never even been to this stage EVER in the history of the franchise and will probably still get a parade after they lose by three possessions tonight.

I'm not even going to give myself an out on this one. Not even a "Well I could be wrong, but..."

No.

The Colts are going to win. It will be at least a three possession game. And if I'm wrong?

I won't be wrong.

Colts - 38
Saints - 14
