Which Team Will Win the Super Bowl?

The 2010 Super Bowl in Miami will take place next Sunday. The kickoff time will be at 6:25 PM in Miami, Florida. This year’s big NFL football game will take place in southern Florida at the Sun Life Stadium; where the Miami Dolphins play their home games. Florida residents will not get to see the Miami Dolphins because their team did not make it this far. Instead they will get to see the Indianapolis Colts represent the champions from the AFC; which is the football conference the Miami Dolphins play in. The NFC champions are the New Orleans Saints and this will be the first time they have ever played in a Super Bowl in franchise history.

I believe most NFL and football fans in general will think of two names when they think about the 2010 Super Bowl. It’s pretty obvious that both teams are led by their quarterbacks and this may just be the best Super Bowl quarterbacks ever playing against each other on the same field for Super Bowl Sunday. Most people say that quarterback is the most important position in football and the Saints and Colts both have super quarterbacks to lead them on Super Bowl Sunday.

Most Popular Quarterback for Super Bowl Sunday

Peyton Manning is probably the best quarterback in the NFL ever and Drew Breesis probably the best quarterback this season in the NFL. As good as these two gunslingers are, neither one of them may not hold the popularity vote for this year’s most popular Super Bowl quarterback. This is due to all the headlines that Tim Tebow is currently making. Tebow just finished up his senior year at the University of Florida; where he won a lot of football games as a Gator down in Gainesville, Florida. The CBS Network, which will be showing the Super Bowl next Sunday, has allowed some advocacy groups to advertise on these high priced Super Bowl ads. Tim Tebow is going to be appearing on one for abortion and it’s causing a lot of buzz in the main stream media. Most of the talk right now is about Tim Tebow and his Super Bowl commercial that will air on CBS during the 2010 Super Bowl. He also made quite a few headlines for his poor performance in the Senior Bowl on Saturday. He didn’t turn too many heads as he completed very few passes for 50 yards and only rushed for about 4 yards as his South team lost to the North team in the 2010 Senior Bowl. This game helps NFL scouts determine who the stars of tomorrow will be and if it proves to hold form, don’t look for Tim Tebow to get called to the podium on Day 1 of the NFL Draft. He might not hear his name on Sunday either; if he doesn’t find a way to improve his shaky football skills as a QB in the National Football League we know as the NFL. So for now, it’s fair to say that Tim Tebow is more popular than the Colts QB Peyton Manning and the quarterback for the Saints Drew Brees.

It’s a Manning World

The long-line of quarterbacks in the NFL with the last name Manning is very well-known. It all started with a quarterback from New Orleans named Archie Manning. While Archie was a very good QB in his day, he may have passed his best genes down to his two sons, that currently play in the NFL. Peyton and Eli are the two Manning family members that are making headlines these days. Peyton Manning and Eli Manning have already won Super Bowls before and we may see both of them win more Super Bowls in the future. It’s funny how life comes full-circle sometimes. If the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets could have won their games last week, we would have seen Brett Favre from the Vikings face his old team the Jets in the 2010 Super Bowl. Instead we get to see Archie Manning’s old team the New Orleans Saints face his oldest son’s team the Indianapolis Colts. One day we could see Peyton Manning against Eli Manning in a Super Bowl and that is possible with each Manning playing in a different NFL conference (AFC & NFC). No Eli in this year’s Super Bowl in Miami, but Peyton is there representing the Manning family tree.

Peyton Manning is the best quarterback to ever play the game. I don’t think many can argue that and he will add one more convincing feather to his cap when he takes the field next Sunday. I don’t think it matters much if he wins or loses the game next week in Florida. For the records and numbers he’s already accomplished, it leaves little to doubt, that number 18 in Indianapolis is the best NFL quarterback ever. I’m not sure who was number 1 before Peyton Manning or who would be 2nd on the list of the greatest quarterbacks ever right now, but you can be certain that there is no debate for who the best is now. Perhaps you could make a reasonable case that Peyton Manning is not the best QB in the 2009/2010 season; but who would be worthy of a side by side comparison this year?

Saints Marching Well with Drew Brees

Number 9 in New Orleans would be one quarterback that would be a fair comparison to the great Peyton Manning. Brees has taken the city of New Orleans by “storm” and it was a storm that woke this area up a few years ago. It was a devastating time for parts in the Southeast; when Hurricane Katrina came ashore and it really woke up the whole world. New Orleans was one of the hardest hit areas with the city sitting below sea level. They normally rely on pumps to remove the water from rains and heavy floods, but after the levies broke and all the rain Katrina left behind; the whole city was under water and the Super Dome in New Orleans felt the impact too. Katrina made this area of the U.S. much tougher as these people were struggling to just survive after Hurricane Katrina hit. Now a few years later these people are celebrating and cheering louder than any NFL fans have ever did in the past.

Now comes the final test for New Orleans as they get their shot at the big trophy that will be given out next Sunday in Miami. The Saints are like a boxer that refuses to quit and continues to roll with each punch that is delivered to them. Now they have been given the opportunity at a title shot and they will be facing the game’s greatest quarterback ever. It doesn’t sound fair but often life isn’t. The Saints do have the opportunity to show the NFL and the rest of the World that they are still here and they haven’t given up. The Saints winning the Super Bowl would have a much bigger magnitude than the Haiti Earthquake that occured a couple of weeks back. Many are comparing the destruction in Haiti to the Gulf Hurricane that struck New Orleans.

So which quarterback will be the one that leaves Florida most happy?

A. Peyton Manning

B. Drew Brees

C. Tim Tebow

Since the Saints and Colts both have powerful offenses, I believe  most game day predictions will be for both teams to have high scores. I don’t see this happening on Super Bowl Sunday. I think one team is going to run away with this one in Miami. I’m not going to tell you who will win the game, but I will leave you with a final score, that will be pretty close to the margin of victory for the winning team.

Super Bowl XLIV Prediction:

Winning Team – 41

Losing Team – 19

I am predicting a 20+ point victory for the winning team with the combined points for both teams around the 60 point mark. Now let me here your 2 predictions for the margin of victory and the combined points for both teams. Enjoy the game NFL fans and I hope your favorite team wins on Super Bowl Sunday!
