Super Bowl XLIV Betting Preview 07/02/2010
Super Bowl XLIV takes place Sunday in Miami, Florida at Sun Life Stadium (6:30 pm ET, CBS) with the Indianapolis Colts battling the New Orleans Saints. The Colts are favored by 4 points in the big event.
The New Orleans Saints had a tough conference championship game where they were outplayed by the Minnesota Vikings but turnovers helped them in an overtime win. They are led by Quarterback Drew Brees who completed over 70 per cent of his passes this year.
His favorite target is Marques Colston but he has a host of others to throw to. The running game is powered by three running backs. Pierre Thomas led the way with 793 yards. Mike Bell and Reggie Bush complemented the running game. Reggie Bush has come on strong in the later part of the season.
The defense is led by Will Smith, Jonathan Vilma, and Darren Sharper.
The favored Colts are led by MVP Peyton Manning at quarterback. His favorite targets this year are Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. Joseph Addai is the leading runner with 821 yards on the ground. The Colts big question is if Dwight Feeney will play. The leader on the defensive line has a bad ankle that might keep him out of the big game. They made it to the Super Bowl easily beating the New York Jets.
This could see the Colts winning their second Super Bowl in four years. The Saints will make their first appearance at a Super Bowl.
