If the Saints play like they did on Sunday this game will be a blow out.I dont know  what game u were watching but the Saints made more  mistakes ,and were lucky to get a win at home.There Defense is worse than the Jets ,and you seen what Manning  and company did to them,

I haven't decided yet...one thing I feel safe in predicting is Manning is going to get his.  Question is, can the Saints keep pace?

I am still unsure of how good the Colts D really is. They played a mediocre set of QB's this yr. I am convinced getting pressure on Brees is very difficult. He has a fabulous array of outstanding weapons.

Betting "under" is sure to create some stress.....

I am leaning Saints and also think the final score may come within 7 points.

Look back at the Alabama/Texas BCS threads and see how a majority of betters concluded that Texas did not belong based on the close call against Nebraska and based on Bama's performance against Fla. Nebraska proved to be a serious contender (put Minny here as the comparison), and leading up to that game Bama squeaked out games against Tenn and LSU (similar to Indy's come from behind wins).

5.5 is a funny number...I am trying to project whether it moves higher or lower. Obviously I would like 6 and buy up to 7, but I may have to put a little something on now because I am not convinced it will go up.

I should also note that Alabama covered. GL CMJ.

Point for New Orleans is that the Jets passing game absolutely tore up the Colts weak ass secondary when they actually threw the ball.  What allowed the Colts back into the game was the Jets inability to stick with the passing game when it was the only productive area.  So just imagine what Drew Brees can do to Jacob Lacey.

I am convinced there is value with the points. I do think that if you like NO, you also should be looking at the over, as I think Indy will be able to score and NO will be able to counter.

I agree with you that Indy's secondary is not a strong area, and I would expect Brees to go up the medium-to-deep middle against Bethea and Bullitt who are not great in coverage. The Indy LBs are fast and athletic and the best strategy is to get those long NO WRs into split-end positions and get above the LBs.

However, once they open the flood gates, the two teams should be able to take advantage of the other's secondary. Reading the threads, I now think I will get 6 and maybe more...I am waiting and I also will dabble some on the ML and the over now.

The Jets did by no means absolutely "tear up" the colts secondary.  They had two big trick plays in the first half.  Then in the second half the Jets couldn't score a point.

that is not nearly as important as getting the right side correct

Going against Skip are we.. I LOVE IT LOLOLOL

Saints!! 
the over is high for a reason, when was the last time you remember 2 such high scoring teams in the Super Bowl. they can both cover overs by themselves that is why its high. rightfully so

not only that... but when was there ever a matchup of 2 such high scoring defenses with two equally unimpressive defenses (statistically speaking)... Colts are #18 in YPG on defense and Saints are #25 in YPG on defense... the Colts do rank #8 in PPG allowed, which isn't bad, but still fairly low for a Super Bowl winner... and the Saints are #20 in that category...

not sure if we have ever had this sort of combination before...

Very true, you add it all up and it screams OVER
Colts as u mentioned are not terrible in points allowed but in general
the officials do not call back big plays in teh SB as to keep
the excitement going. Ratings etc. that is why most SB's go over
in my view. They like scoring, its good for the ratings.

Look at who the Colts played this season as well however.  Not exactly teams that light up the scoreboard.  Any time you get to play the NFC West, your points allowed is going to reflect that.  Saints at least had to play some teams that can score.
