Colts: 35
Saints: 24

Your defense raised it's game in the post season.

If they played the way they did during the regular season, they never would have made it passed the Chiefs that day considering the way the offense turned the ball over, let alone the next two games.

Kudos to Dungy for figuring something

The Saints were the best offensive team that plays
in the "B" league (NFC).

This would put them behind the Colts and about 6 other teams in the"A" league (AFC).

Well, they did lead the LEAGUE in Total Offense and Pass yards per game. Fifth in scoring. Yes, many of those games were versus NFC opponents, but hard to deny they have an explosive unit.

It's going to be an offensive shootout. If the Saints can fight toe-to-toe with
the Colts on offense, then they've got a chance. Manning will rip through the secondary, fairly easily in my opinion.

I'll raise you 10 points and make it 40.

I stand by my statement....Even the Bengals are better on offense.

Remember...there are 3 things:

...lies.......damn lies.....and statistics.

lol, well with Chad, Housh, and Rudy (along with Carson) hard to argue. Interesting to see if those young guys (Colston, Henderson, Copper) can have another outstanding season. I think Deuce might be this years Corey Dillon (no offense). Reggie is the real deal (in my opinion), and I still have memories of the Saints waxing the Cowboys in Irving.

With all this shootout conjecture you know what that means?

Take the under!

New Orleans wins by 3 or 4 points

Its about time that the defending SB champ loses on the thursday night kickoff opener as ther home team and champ are undefeated so far...the away team is due plus the fact that Indy has lost several key defenders and faces what may be the most potent offense in the NFL this year.

New Orleans 31
Indianapolis 28
