I'm sure everyone is tired of my raving about the Saints by now since I am not even a true fan of them, but its kinda hard not to get caught up in the excitement of this team down here in the bayou.  The Saints mean so much to these people.  It goes way beyond football for these people.  It might sound a little corny but it really does.  The city needs this.  I have been going to NO every weekend since school starts for a project and the place is going nuts.  They couldn't be more excited.

I know everyone from back home will be cheering for the Colts just because of Peyton.  That is pretty weak IMO unless you are a legit Colts fan (in that case congrats on making it to the big game).  Don't get me wrong, I have absolutely no problem with Peyton.  He is a complete stud.  Probably will end up being the greatest QB of all time.   If your reasoning is based upon UT players though, the Saints have three (Greer, Jabari; Meachem, Bob; Mitchell, Marvin) compared to the Colts one.  So if you're picking the Colts solely for that reason, then that is questionable.

If you are neutral in which team you want to win the game, pull for the Saints.  The people of that city need it, they really do.  And I guarantee you it will be way more exciting if they win.
