The time has come for us to crown the champions of the NFL. Sunday, February 7th will mark the day either the Colts or the Saints win Super Bowl 44.
I’m going to start by predicting the Saints to win this game. And here’s why.
Both teams have dominating offences and arguably two of the top three quarterbacks in the league. They also have very similar rosters on the offensive side of the ball. One of the keys will come down to the rushing attacks. There shouldn’t be a whole lot of a problem throwing the ball so it will be up to the running backs to give their offence the edge.
For me, I like the Saints rushing attack. This is mostly because of what Reggie Bush has looked like this post-season. He hasn’t gotten the ball a lot but when he has gotten it he’s gone all out. Even to go as far as to lower his shoulder and level guys. He’s a big-play threat that can make a difference in this game.
There is also the defence that will factor into this game. I give the Saints the edge in this category as well because of their ability to force turnovers. Both teams don’t turn it over much so an interception or fumble would be big. And don’t forget, Darren Sharper is one of the best at returning fumbles and interceptions for touchdowns.
Another thing with this game is the over/under total. As of now, the total is 56.5 which his pretty high for a football game. In my opinion, it’s too high.
I’m planning on betting on this game and I’ll be picking the under. Yes, both of these teams can score but it takes time to get downfield. Add on Peyton Manning’s multiple signal calls at the line, and you have a lot of time being run of the clock. A number of times I’ve seen two high scoring teams put together a low scoring game.
My Prediction for this game: 20-17 Saints
Hope everyone has a great Sunday and remember to be safe, don’t drink and drive!

You know when you allow the fans to vote players to an All-Star Game, they’ll be a few players who might not deserve it. It almost seems like the fans vote based on players they know, not who has been doing good. And this year, one of those players is Allen Iverson.
This is AI’s eleventh selection to the NBA All-Star Game. There is no doubt that Allen Iverson is a household name, especially after his practice rant. But now his act seems to be wearing thin, or at least that’s what I thought.
Now it seems that he’s the talk of the town of Philadelphia. Even after complaining and being benched in Detroit. Even after basically trying to start over then giving up on Memphis, who are over 500 without him. He was welcomed into the 76ers locker room like nothing happened.
Iverson’s numbers are at their lowest this year. As of February 4th, AI has career lows in points, steals, assists and minutes per game. He’s not even in the top 15 for Eastern Conference PPG. He has started all of his games while with the 76ers.
And it seems he might have kicked out another player who has also had problems thorough his career.
Stephen Jackson has played a career high 40.4 minutes per game and leads Charlotte with 20.5 points per game. His Bobcats sit at 24-24 and currently hold 6th place in the Eastern Conference, and are on pace for their best record and their first playoff appearance.
With Iverson being chosen as a starter, it only left one or two spots open for reserve shooting guards. Joe Johnson was chosen for that spot, an honour he deserves. Johnson has 1.5 more PPG then Jackson even though he’s played an average 1.3 minutes per game less than Jackson.
In the end, it hurts to see Iverson go instead of Jackson. But when you give the fans the vote, they’ll usually be a flaw in judgement. Let the fans vote in players to the dunk contest or skills challenge. But even then we might have Shaquille O’Neal in the obstacle course because the fans wanted to see it.
