Here is this week's "Super Bowl Picks of the Week". Thanks to the over bet on the Saints, a great winning week. I am looking to ride that train through the Super Bowl.
As a refresher, I use the same website for the betting lines for consistency. If they are different than your lines, too bad. Standard 100 bet with a 10% vig for losing. For one game each week, I will "bet" $250. Totals for the season will be tabulated.
On to the picks ...
Indianapolis Colts -5 v. New Orleans Saints
Yes, it would be a great story to have the Saints win. However, I like the Colts defense a bit more than the Saints. With Peyton throwing the ball, I bet he likes the Colts defense a lot more than the Saints. I'll give the points.
Shots of Archie Manning in the stands 2 1/2 OVER
Has to be more than that, right? I figure at least 2 per quarter.
Peyton Manning Completions 24 1/2 OVER
They aren't going to be running the ball very much.
Drew Brees Completions 24 1/2 OVER
He is good for 30-42 I think.
And because this is the Super Bowl, I will make two big bets this week.
BIG BETS OF THE WEEK
Hurricane Katrina references during the broadcast 4 1/2 OVER
I am way surprised that this is not higher.
New Orleans Saints at Indianapolis Colts - 56 1/2 OVER
I said last week that I was going to ride this train throughout the playoffs. So I will.
