This could be the one, folks. This could actually be the year that the Super Bowl lives up to the hype. Manning versus Brees. The shootout at Joe Robbie. Yeah, it will always be Joe Robbie Stadium no matter how many times they sell the naming rights.
Super Sunday, that most American of holidays. In fact, it is as if we took all the best holidays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, St Patrick's Day, and the Fourth of July, and combined them into one ginormous exercise in American excess. You are very welcome, remaining citizens of the world.
We are going down to the wire with our picks also. Regular season champ, Chris Humpherys, was 4-0 in the conference title games. Robert Elkhorn hung with him, also going 4 for 4. Gene Haddock was 3-1. While Mike Roarty was 2-2.

Gene's picks
Saints are a feel-good story, but the ride is over. Peyton Manning is THAT damn good! I have never seen one player mean so much to his team. The Saints were lucky to beat the fumbling Vikings, as they needed overtime, at home, to beat a less than stellar Favre. Look for Manning to put up five or six TDs through the air, as the Colts roll 42-21.
Over
Brees playing catch up the last three quarters has more passing yards, but no ring.
Colts will have more ground yardage.
Thanks to the other three SRM regulars for the season long ass whipping in our weekly NFL picks, and thanks to all of our readers for hanging in there with us. The Daytona 500 is next week and I will be back in my comfort zone.
