There will be about 1 billion people that will tune in next Sunday to watch Super Bowl 44 in Miami. Fans will get treated to the best 2 football teams this year. It’s been a long time since we have seen the two very best teams going head to head in the Super Bowl. I believe they said it was 1993 the last time this happen in the National Football League. I look forward to seeing what Peyton Manning can do in this big game and I think we are currently witnessing the best QB to have ever played the game. His counterpart on Super Bowl Sunday is pretty good too. Drew Brees is carrying the whole weight of a city on his shoulders andit’s no ordinary city. Many football fans around the Louisiana area see this Super Bowl as an achievement and a reward for all the pain and suffering they have had to endure over the last few years or so. Hurricane Katrina did a lot of damage in New Orleans, but the massive hurricane could not damage the spirits of all the good folks living in and around the New Orleans area.

Who will you be rooting for when all the Super Bowl hype is over and they can finally get down to playing some football? Will you be rooting for the talented Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts? Or do you remember all the heartache and destruction that Hurricane Katrina left the city of New Orleans and will be hoping Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints can win this one for the city of New Orleans? I’m not sure if this is one of those games you can walk the fence on, but I am having a hard time deciding on which team to root for Sunday. Some would probably say that you are either with the NFC Champion Saints or your on the side of the AFC Champion Colts.

Breaking down the game for Super Bowl 44 in Miami, I would have to look at it this way. Peyton Manning has the ability to make every team in the NFL look bad on any given Sunday. This includes the hot New Orleans Saints and their very talented quarterback Drew Brees. I would not be shocked to see the Indianapolis Colts come in so prepared; that they will have this one decided at halftime with a 24+ point lead. If the Colts go into halftime leading 31 to 7 or 34 to 10; then you can go ahead and chalk up a win for the Colts and they will be the new champions of the NFL. If the Saints can get lucky with a turnover or two and keep the Colts within 2 touchdowns; then I see the Saints playing a better 2nd half and they could squeak out a win in the Sunshine State.

Most NFL fans have probably traveled to Miami already in anticpation for the big game. The Pro Bowl just wrapped up last night in Miami and this was a part of the new format in the NFL. They decided not to travel to Hawaii this year and the Pro Bowl game got moved north to the state of Florida. The NFL All Stars that were slated to play in the Pro Bowl, but have a date with the Super Bowl next Sunday, was in attendance last night, but no one for the Colts or Saints played in the Pro Bowl Game in Miami, Florida.

I know you guys will want me to get off the fence and pick a winner, so here is my prediction for Super Bowl 44 in Miami. This is a hard one to pick, since Peyton Manning is the best all time QB ever and Drew Brees is the best QB this season.

TEAMS            1st Q      2nd Q     3rd Q       4th Q        FINAL SCORE

Indianapolis Colts —20———7————7———–7———————41

New Orleans Saints—0———-3————10———-6———————19

Do you have a score prediction you would like to share with me and my blog’sreaders? Not only would I like to see your score predictions, but I would love to hear the reasons behind them too. I don’t think there is too much strategy involved when it comes to picking a Super Bowl MVP in the 44th annual Super Bowl Event. It would be very difficult for some other player that isn’t Drew Brees or Peyton Manning walk away with the Super Bowl MVP award. Going outside of the box and giving someone else a chance to win the MVP or Most Valuable Player, I will pick the tight end for the Colts wearing number 44 Dallas Clark as the MVP. I see number 44 winning MVP in Super Bowl 44; if any player even has a shot at the prestigious award with Drew and Peyton participating in this game.
