Need the winning pick for the 2010 Super Bowl? Visit Touthouse.com for the winning side and total between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints

Super Bowl XLIV betting action may be two weeks away, but Touthouse.com already has the first look at the big game between the AFC Champions, the Indianapolis Colts (16-2, 12-5-1 ATS) and the NFC Champions, the New Orleans Saints (15-3, 9-9 ATS). In order to reach their first Super Bowl in franchise history, the Saints disposed of both the Arizona Cardinals (45-14) and the Minnesota Vikings (31-28). Indianapolis had to face two of the toughest defenses in the league on its path to its fourth Super Bowl in team history, as it knocked out both the Baltimore Ravens (20-3) and New York Jets (30-17).

New Orleans has one of the highest flying offenses in the league. The unit ranked #1 in the regular season in both total offense (404.4 yards per game) and scoring (31.9 points per game). Even though the Vikings largely kept the Saints from racking up oodles of yards, the black and gold still put together a whopping 31 points on the board. Their defense forced five Minnesota turnovers en route to the Super Bowl, but the ‘D’ is still one that allowed 357.8 yards and 21.3 points per game in the regular season. Even worse is the fact that New Orleans has conceded 417 yards per game in its two postseason football betting battles this year.

Matters may get worse for the boys from the Bayou when QB Peyton Manning and his band of offensive juggernauts reaches the field a week from Sunday. Including the playoffs and the regular season, Manning has thrown for 5,123 yards and 38 TDs, and what he’s proving in the playoffs is that he can use any number of weapons. Both WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark caught 100 passes during the regular season, but the men that are tearing apart opposing defenses for the Colts are WRs Austin Collie and Pierre Garcon. Neither one expected to factor into the Indianapolis offense this season, as Wayne, Clark, and the injured WR Anthony Gonzalez were expected to be the dominant options in the passing attack, but Collie and Garcon have combined for 27 catches, 360 yards, and three TDs in two playoff games.

In his L/2 NFL betting battles agaisnt the Saints, Manning has thrown for nine touchdowns against no interceptions. Indy covered and won both games with ease.
