Overall I had a very disapointing season in the NFL. I've said to many people NFL is hands down the hardest sport to handicap. It really is and sometimes the difference between a winning and losing season is luck. I can't begin to tell you how many games I lost in the final seconds, but I'm not here to complain that's part of the game of course. On the bright side I finished the season


Really I saw all I needed to this past weekend with the Colts and the Jets and the Vikings and the Saints. The Saints offense has continued to digress while Peyton and co just continue to become more and more dangerous with weapons all over the field named Garcon, Collie, Clark, and oh yeah Wayne. Don't forget to the dual half backs he's got in Addai and Brown.

I just think this is all Colts all the time as the NFC is just a year or two away from catching up with the overall talent of the AFC. Let's be honest Peyton dominated the #1 coverage unit in the Jets. Sure Darelle Revis locked down Reggie Wayne but it was Peyton Manning who was able to go all over the field to his other weapons to seal this game in the 2nd half. They even had the running game off the draw and stretch play working to perfection. I watched every single Jets game and I knew they had holes in their defense that did not show up on the stat sheet, but never did I think they would be threaded like a needle even by the best QB I have ever see play this game. Manning will make his legend a permanent one in Super Bowl 43!

Drew Brees and the Saints got extremely lucky and they should send my favorite QB, Brett Favre commission if they win. The Vikings dominated the Saints on both sides of the ball and Favre was great til late. The Saints however did one thing great they got pressure on Favre and hit him more then 15 times. However, you simply won't get to Peyton Manning. Maybe early like the Jets did but he figures it out and torches you after that when he spreads things out. The Saints defense is not near what the Jets are and Peyton is the best at preparing for defenses and I expect him to score more than 30 points here. On the other side I can't see Drew Brees and company score into the 30's because of the pressure he's going to get from the outside pass rushers in Mathis and Freeney. There is not a better tandom in the NFL and Ray Edwards and Jarred Allen just did an excellent job in the last game to get to Brees. In the end it was not enough and the Vikings can thank their three best players on offense for that in Favre, Harvin and Peterson. Turnovers via fumble and interception cost that team a trip to the Super Bowl. If you watched the game you know the Saints got lucky and do not belong here and Peyton will prove it to everyone.

Will Indianapolis score in every quarter: Yes (+130) 1-Dime Play
Will Reggie Bush score a touchdown in the game: Yes (+150) 1-Dime Play
Player to score first touchdown in the game: Dallas Clark (+500) 1-Dime Play
QB sacks in the game total 3.5: Under (-110) 1.1 Dime play
