Well, let's get it started.

I'll be in Orlando for it, so I may not be able to post then.

I'm definitely rooting for the Colts here.

I'm guessing the early line will be Colts (-4).

George Anderson · 01-24-2010, 10:36 PM

I wonder how many times Archie Manning will be asked how hard it will be to root against the Saints.?

Too low.

gilpdawg · 01-24-2010, 10:41 PM

I think the line will open at Indy -3.5.

Or Vilma and Garcon's Haitian roots will be discussed.

Chip R · 01-24-2010, 10:42 PM

I think the final line will be Indy -5.5.

KronoRed · 01-24-2010, 10:44 PM

They changed the name of the stadium again? I liked Land Shark!

It would be nice had the Colts decided not to be pansies and go for history. They could be going for 19-0 and a team that everyone would remember.

Now, most people will have to think for a minute in 10 years (and still probably not get it) who won the 2010 Super Bowl.

IslandRed · 01-24-2010, 10:51 PM

I'm loving seeing the Saints in the Super Bowl. It's been a long time coming.

I have to admit, though, I think the Vikings had a better chance to beat Indianapolis. They were probably the most across-the-board rock-solid team in the NFL, and they had the type of defense that had a chance against Manning, with a great front four that can get pressure without selling out on the blitz. Unfortunately, they decided to be generous today after having the lowest turnover figure in the NFC this year. Go figure.

George Anderson · 01-24-2010, 10:53 PM

The announcers just said the opening line is 3.5.

Danny Serafini · 01-24-2010, 10:56 PM

It's opened at Colts -4, and depending on where you look it's already gone as high as -5 1/2.

Edit: or opened at 3 1/2 depending on where you go I guess!

The NFL doesn't give trophies to teams with undefeated regular seasons.

They only give trophies to SB Champs.

That trophy is all that matters!!

Damn straight! I've already decided I'm taking the day off after the game. I'll need a day to recover from a devastating loss/or go to the victory parade. Either one.

Yeah, Sun Life, the insurance company with all the commercials saying how, soon, you will know their name.

Now its on a stadium.
