Another great Super Bowl! I have to admit, I was glad to see my pick turn out incorrect. I think it’s great that the Saints won. Thanks to some gutsy play-calling (that onside kick to start the 3rd quarter was nothing short of brilliant – not to mention incredibly ballsy), nearly perfect quarterback play (Brees got off an amazing number of completions), and superb defense at the end (the interception was the play of the game, IMO), the Saints proved that they are the best team in the league. It was also nice to see the referees NOT having a major role in the outcome – they called the game fairly and accurately (good on them for overturning that 2 point conversion call!).

Overall postseason results: 5-6 (45.5%)

End of 2009 NFL Season.

It’s hard to believe another NFL season is nearly in the books. The only business left to attend to is the big finale, the Super Bowl. This one should be a great one – two very talented and high-scoring teams, superstar quarterbacks, and incredibly fast defenses. If it lives up to all the hype, we should be in store for a very memorable and entertaining game. Here’s my pick:

Super Bowl XLIV Pick: Indianapolis Colts

Although my gut wants to see the Saints win, it’s incredibly hard for me to bet against Peyton Manning. He’s not my favorite player by any means, but he is quite possibly the smartest and most-capable quarterback the league has ever seen. He makes the others around him better, and he always seems to find a way to get the win. It would be great to see the Saints win, but my brain says pick the Colts. And since this is a picking game, I gotta go with who I think will win. We’ll see, though…it should be fun.

To conclude the season, a season recap and prediction review will be posted sometime after the Super Bowl.

Here are my Postseason Week 3 results (√ denotes correct pick):
