Everyone's billing this game as an offensive showdown. Yes, there are explosive weapons on both sides - Bush, Addai, Wayne, QBs, etc.
This game will come down to defense on defense, even if it's high scoring. The Saints will score on a turnover and there will be a few of them. The team woith the lower turnovers will win. See Darren Sharper return an interception into the red zone.
The Colts have momentum and Manning. They'll be sharper earlier, since the Saints will be more nervous. But if they don't establish their run game early, the Saints will quickly come back.
The Saints have Sharper and a whole city crying out for a victory. I think New Orleans wants it more.
Saints 27, Colts 24

Playoffs: Vikings at Saints Prediction
So it's come down to this. The #1 and #2 seeds squaring off for a ticket to the big game.
With both teams being evenly matched, field position and lack of mistakes will rule the day. Turnovers that provide scoring opportunities must be taken advantage of. Whoever has more turnovers will lose. Period.
Some notes: Peterson must rush for 100 yards; it's been weeks since he's done this. Reggie Bush will have to score a touchdown or two for the Saints to win. Both quaretbacks will have to be at the top of their games for their teams to stay in teh hunt.
In the end, Favre's experience will win out over Brees', unless Favre makes a mistake late.

Playoffs: Cardinals at Saints Prediction
Look for both offenses to have big days. Hightower will run wild on the Saints, Thomas on the Cards. Bouldin, Fitzgerald, etc will catch a number of passes, racking up plenty of yards after catch. Colston, Bush, and Moore will also catch short passes and turn them into more.
The key to victory for both teams will be defense. Sharper will need to lead the Saints to victory, who will need a few interceptions to deflate Warner and the Cardinals offfense. This may take place, but not until the second half, where the Saints will pull close behind Reggie Bush's running and catches out of the backfield.
The defense on the other side of the ball will be tighter than last week, but will open up in the second half, and the Saints will put some 4th quarter points on the board.
It will be exciting and close the whole way. Defense and turnovers, uh-huh.
