How about those conference championship games
yesterday? Both the AFC and the NFC games were
better than I expected. So it will be the Colts and the
Saints in the Super Bowl in two weeks.
Indianapolis actually was down 17-6 at one point of
the game with the New York Jets, but when the running
game of the Colts opened the door for quarterback
Peyton Manning, it was all over. Manning is the league
Most Valuable Player again and showed it by his poise
under fire. Indianapolis came back to win 30-17 and it
was not that close.
The New Orleans and Minnesota game was a barn-burner
that could have gone either way. Each team matched the
other on scoring drives and it was 21-21 at the half. Defense
ruled the second half, but it was the turnovers of the Vikings
that let this game slip away. Super running back Adrian Peterson
(FROM PALESTINE, TEXAS) fumbled away the ball twice and Bret
Favre threw a costly interception at the end of regulation time.
In the overtime period, former Dallas Southlake Carroll High
School kicker Garrett Hartley, booted the winning field goal and
the Saints go to the Super Bowl for the first time in their 43 year
existence.
I think Peyton Manning has the experience of being in a Super
Bowl in the past...but the Saints seem to be on a mission this
season. I am picking the Saints by a 21-17 score. Time will tell!!
