It’s GAME TIME!!! Super Bowl XLI ½ is upon us. This Sunday, 4:15 in Indy on CBS. The two best teams in the National Football League throw down. And I will be front and center, in front of my tv that is. If you’re pulling for the Patriots, you will be sorely disappointed. However, if you’re pulling for Indy, break out the bubbly because the celebration will be sweet! And here’s why:
10 Reasons Why the Colts will Beat the Patriots
10) Bill BelliCHEAT vs. Tony Dungy. Cheaters NEVER prosper. And Tony Dungy’s book is way better than anything Bill would write.
9) Peyton Manning was way better on SNL than Tom Brady.
8) Most clutch player on either team: Adam Vinatieri. Let’s not forget how many Super Bowls he won for the Patriots. Now, it’s the Colts’ turn to take advantage of that. Vinatieri has missed only one field goal all season.
7) Two words: Bob Sanders. Anyone who watches football knows he needs no introduction or explanation. If you don’t know who he is, do some research.
6) Dallas Clark vs. Ben Watson. Battle of the tight ends. Clark has 388 yards for six touchdowns so far and he is invaluable to the offensive line because he blocks and sets up screens for others. Ben Watson, while from Georgia and I love him, has 233 yards for one less touchdown. And he’s injury-prone.
5) Let’s talk about who both teams have played. While the Patriots have played Dallas, who is 6-1, they also played the JETS and the DOLPHINS and they are horrendous. The Patriots’ competitor’s combined record is 24-34, TEN games UNDER .500. Meanwhile, the Colts have played MUCH tougher teams. Their competitor’s combined record is 27-24, THREE games ABOVE .500. I digress.
4) Indy’s Offensive Line is sick nasty. They’ve only allowed five sacks. New England’s allowed eight. Bring it.
3) Indy’s RB’s are nuts. Joseph Addai and Kenton Keith have run for 936 yards and 10 TD’s. New England’s are sub-par. Sammy Morris and Laurence Maroney combined for 732 yards and just three touchdowns.
2) Indy’s division is a much tougher. New England plays the DOLPHINS, the JETS and the BILLS TWICE. Indy plays the Jags, Texans and Titans twice. We all know those three are much better than who NE plays.
1) Who are the reigning SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS? Yea, that’s what I thought. GO INDY!!!!
