I don't know, one day later, I think the Colts could really hurt the Saints in the Super Bowl. The fact that the Vikings forced overtime in a game in which they lost five turnovers is pretty telling. I'm not as familiar with the Colts defense, but the Vikings practically shut the Saints down the entire second half yesterday. Anything can happen, by my early prediction is:
Colts 70 - 30 Saints (percentage)
A few other notes:
1. In regards to two No. 1 seeds: It's fine to have the underdogs every once in a while, but I'd rather see the championship game be the best teams more often than not. I mean, it wasn't cool or exciting last year to see the Cardinals in the Super Bowl. They weren't that good, and it's not like they captivated the nation in any way (a la George Mason upsetting traditional powerhouses in NCAA Tournament)
2. Having the Pro Bowl after the Super Bowl is the dumbest thing ever, SammyG. I'm shocked they didn't think of this sooner. There is no NFL happenings going on next week, yet in the week before the Super Bowl there is still attention. The Pro Bowl is so stupid anyway, but you might as well put it at a time when people are still interested in football.
