Super Bowl XLIV 2010 Betting action will kick off a week from Sunday, but
it's never too early to get a jump on the action! BetUS Sportsbook analyzes how
the Indianapolis Colts (16-2, 12-5-1 ATS) and the New Orleans Saints (15-3, 9-9
ATS) will match up against each other on both sides of the football...
New Orleans Offense vs. Indianapolis Defense: The Saints have a plethora
of weapons that they can use to beat you on a regular basis. QB Drew Brees is
one of the best in the biz. He led the #4 passing attack in the NFL during the
regular season and amassed 4,388 yards through the air.
Brees did a tremendous job spreading the football around the field, as WRs
Marques Colston, Devery Henderson, and Robert Meachem each had years to be proud
of. That trio combined for 166 catches, 2,600 yards, and 20 TDs on the year.
Keep an eye on TE Jeremy Shockey as well, as he hauled in 48 passes for 569
yards and three TDs in the regular season.
As demonstrated in the AFC Championship Game, the Indianapolis Colts are prone
to giving up big plays and chunks of yardage in a hurry. However, if you take
out the 45-yard trick play that QB/WR Brad Smith ran and the 80-yard TD pass to
WR Braylon Edwards on a busted coverage, Indianapolis has looked downright scary
in the playoffs.
The Colts have held two very strong rushing teams to 86.5 yards per game in the
postseason. RBs Pierre Thomas (793 yards, 6 TDs) and Reggie Bush (390 yards, 5
TDs) must do enough damage to keep the Indy secondary honest, or it could be a
long day for Brees standing in the pocket.
Indianapolis Offense vs. New Orleans Defense: The New Orleans Saints can
do whatever they want offensively, but if they can't figure out how to slow down
the Indy offense, they stand no chance in this Super Bowl XLIV betting affair.
This is a stop unit that ranked 25th overall in total defense (357.8 yards per
game) and 20th in points allowed (21.3 per game).
The Vikings ran up and down the field against them, and if not for five Minny
turnovers, New Orleans wouldn't find itself in this historical position. Now it
will take on its toughest test to date in the form of QB Peyton Manning and the
Indianapolis offense.
Yes, the Saints may have had the #1 offense by statistics in the league, but
there isn't a more feared unit than the one that Manning will lead onto the
field on February 7th. He threw for 4,500 yards this season and has proven that
he can use any number of his weapons. Obviously, WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas
Clark are his security blankets that have been around for years, but as was
proven on Sunday against the Jets, Manning can use both WR Austin Collie and WR
Pierre Garcon as well when called upon.
That duo picked up a total of 18 catches, 274 yards, and two TDs against the
Jets, and could be called upon again should the Saints successfully take Wayne
and/or Clark out of the game.
