Will the Saints march out of Miami winners?

By Charles Curcio, Sports Editor

Sunday, February 7, 2010 — I love everything about Super Bowl Sunday.

The hours of pregame, the analysis, the flavor of the host city (although I hate seeing the Super Bowl in Miami without the Dolphins in the game).

My father went to Super Bowl VIII in Houston and Super Bowl X in Miami and said that it was an amazing experience.

One day I will get to a Super Bowl (or Wrestlemania, whichever is closer and cheaper).

As it is, I’ll be very happy enjoying Chinese fried dumplings and egg rolls while sitting on my couch.

I have some good preview information on 10A, but I had to make my prediction.

Dwight Freeney and the Colts’ defense will not be able to stop Brees, and Peyton Manning will get a little comfortable in the pocket one time too many and take a pounding.

New Orleans breaks through in their first Super Bowl with a 34-31 win.
