The Super Bowl point spread is related to the powerful offenses of New Orleans and Indianapolis, but whichever team can get a key defensive stop will win this game.
The Saints’ defense thrives on takeaways, and they have seven so far in two Northbet.com playoff games, including five against Minnesota in the NFC championship game. Darren Sharper had a brilliant year at safety, and the front seven likes to get in the backfield, as they put Kurt Warner and Brett Favre on their backs plenty of times. However, they gave up 475 yards against the Vikings, and the Colts won’t make the same mistakes.
Indy’s defense suffered a blow as Dwight Freeney, their star defensive end, may miss this game with an ankle injury. However, the Colts can deal with this as they always seem to plug someone else in when there’s a problem. Linebacker Gary Brackett will now lead a fast and underrated defense that sticks to the gameplan created by the coaches. Robert Mathis is the other end and while he may earn some double teams with the absence of Freeney, that frees up another Colt to try and get some pressure on Drew Brees.
Betting Edge: Indy has more experienced and they’re more disciplined than their New Orleans counterparts.
