It's really hard to choose.  One of the first times I remember the right teams made it to the Superbowl.  In the Alternate Universe, however, I take the Jets over the Vikings by 14.

I have no choice.  I vote for the Saints.  I will do my best to refrain from unnecessary praying game day.  I know it is just a game, and hells bells, we just won our first championship, but man o man, would that be awesome or what????

I am going to cling to that comment as hope.  Being a Saints fan all these years, well, it ain't been easy.

I am so sorry for you. I just hear on Rush's show that Obama has picked the Saints.  They might as well not even hold the Super Bowl and declare the Colts the winner.

I don't know, I'd rather know ahead of time, like in 2007 when I saw the Giants improving as the year went on and Brett Favre was on the cover of SI and I knew of the SI curse, it made the loss less painful.

I know it is a long shot.  Either way we still did better than we have done before. 

However...........Obama picked Pittsburgh last year.   :uhsure:

Since I don't get to watch McNabb puke his Chunky Soup in another Superbowl, I'm just happy to be able to watch what should be a really good game!  I think it'll be a high-scoring but close one!

I read somewhere that Republicans favor the Colts, while Democrats favor the Saints.

Which puts me in a quandary.

When I have no dog in a fight, I go for the one with the most history and tradition.

And so I want the Saints to win.

Indianapolis?  Indianapolis?

Indianapolis with a professional football team?

You've got to be kidding.

Indianapolis?

Several of the Fox shows have said the same.

I don't favor Peyton because of Indianapolis.....I favor Indianapolis because of Peyton.

If Peyton was playing for the Cowboys...I would be a Cowboy fan (even though I haven't been since Jones replaced Jimmy Johnson with that slimeball Barry Switzer)....I'm just a Peyton fan.  :-)

I'm cheering for the Colts, but really I just want to win the Superbowl pool at work.  Unfortunately, I got some really bad numbers this year.
