The Saints have a punchers chance because of their propensity to generate turnovers and return them for touchdowns. They have a reasonable running game, a very accurate QB in Brees, and a lot of talented targets to throw to. They were the top scoring team this season.
The Colts have the most in-control explosive offense. They can run the ball, but they usually don’t because Peyton has his own set of very talented targets and prefers to use them. They beat the Dolphins controlling the ball for less than ¼ of the game because they scored so quickly. He shreds defenses and puts them in positions where they don’t have the personnel to defend what he is going to do. The Colts defense is no powerhouse, but they are sure tacklers and fast enough to cover the field well. They held the Jets stud running game to ~70 yards and that is the Colts weak spot. I think that the Saints balanced attack will fair better than the Jets.
The Saints live and die by the turnover. Peyton Manning has not fumbled in … 2 YEARS! Peyton only had 17 turnovers in 18 games this year. I think that the Saints die.
Colts: 38
Saints: 27
