I have no horse in the show in the first game, but expect the Colts to win.
Since I am originally from Minnesota and grew up with the Vikings, that is where my heart is for the second game. I think New Orleans has the edge and and it will come down to whether or not the Viking's defense can do what they did to Dallas last week.
This past summer I supported the idea of the Vikings picking up Brett Favre. But everyone I talked to thought it was a bad idea. "He's washed up," they'd say. To me, it didn't matter. Brett is just a kid at heart and so much fun to be around, I thought the team would love to play with him and his excitement would be infectious. It sure seems that was the case. He is also a great coach for fellow team-mates. So I'm really glad they picked him up and it would be real nice to see him play in the Superbowl again. That may not happen, but would be a nice story at the end of his career.
Go Vikes!
