Reinebold doing the preview show. Hope he is doing the actual live coverage as well. Has there been any news on the BBC coverage? I assume they have Carlson, would be good if they could get Woodson again as well

I think sky are using the same as the preview show, Reinbold is sound but the little brummie Colts fan may aswell not be there he just repeats what Reinbold says



According to the tv guide the bbc is.....Jake Humphrey and Matt Roberts introduce coverage, Analysis comes from Rod Woodson and Alex Smith.

I wonder which Alex Smith that is surely it cant be the 49ers Alex Smith, maybe its the crappy tight end or maybe its just someone completly different

What's everyone's predictions for tonight then?

Im going;

Colts 28-17 Saints
1ST TD: Austin Collie
MVP: Peyton Manning

31-10 Colts

Thier D will be too good for the Saints.

Colts 24 31 Saints

First TD R.Wayne
MVP R.Bush

I think Bush will be too good in the return game and give the Saints good field position, and if the give him the ball in space the Colts D wont be able to handle his speed


Just to be different like



[size=200=#FFBF00COME ON YOU SAINTS[/size (I wont ever be saying that again especially at the rugby)

Some quality HOF picks this year, possibly one of the best classes ever? www.profootballhof.com/enshrinem ... announced/ Oh and Warren Sapp what an idiot www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d ... nfirm=true

Close, but a 28-21 win for the Colts, either sealed by a big run TD, or Lacey picking off Brees and running it back. MVP will probably be Manning again.

Saints talking about whacking Peyton again...that'll only make him angry!

Getting nervous now, had confidence against the Bears in '06, but we're facing a team who also went 13-0. Come on Colts!

It very well may be the 49ers Alex Smith. I'm sure i read that he was over hear doing stuff for 5 live. Pretty certain they had interviews etc with him so it's not as daft as it seems. I'm going Colts by 10

The real big game today has already happened



Staffs Stallions 4 - Leicester Longhorns 0

What a game! We had 3 TD's called back for dodgy lookin penalties and fumbled at the line a couple times as well. What's even more impressive is coming into the game, Leicester were averaging almost 30 points a game.

Dwight Freeney is active, as if people think he was gonna miss the SB

How did you get 4? 2 safeties?

Colts 17
Saints 35

1st TD: Robert Meachem
MVP: Breesus


COME ON THE SAINTS

Please don't be as inept as my other Saints were this weekend.



Breesus Christ....I believe!

38-28 Colts I'll go for. Manning the MVP.

What a drive. Surprised by Addai's running on that one as well.

Yeah, we nearly had a 3rd if it wasnt for the refs claiming he was in the field of play when he was first touched.

GET IN NEW ORLEANS!

jeez, you shoulda had a bet pal/

Looks like Manning choking has started again..

He can keep his MVPs and stats and we will keep the things that matter

I know.

Manning was OK in the game but he was let down by his recievers dropping key balls. The INT was a poor throw and i suppose he choked abit. They should have pulled away in the first half.

As for Brady LFC and you "keeping things that matter" you are the biggest choker EVER:






One of my favourites:

So who do we think are going to be the challengers next season? I expect the Green Bay Packers to make a bit more of an impression. They have all the pieces in place with possibly the expection of a franchise running back. The San Francisco 49ers will also see a big improvement. I also like the look of the Baltimore Ravens providing they add a big time reciever.

If Gradkowski starts for the Raiders and we draft Campbell, I think we could actually have a shot at a Wildcard spot.

I'll reserve judgement fully on us until after the draft/FA players. If we can get the majority of our key players that are OOC tied down and couple that with a first round OT (or sign an FA, Penn and Trueblood from Tampa are being mooted) along with drafting some depth guys at RB/CB in rounds 2-4 to handle the 5 reciever sets we see, with those pieces i'm confident we could make the Superbowl.

Outside of us, i think the Texans win the AFC South (The Colts to make the play-offs as wildcard), Cheatriots to miss the play-offs, Kansas City to be the #1 pick in the 2011 draft.

I can't see the Raiders making the play-offs. You have to think the two teams for the wildcard would be one of the teams like Baltimore, Miami, NYJ, Texans.

Oh well, maybe next year.

To be honest, Manning didn't choke in that, it was Brees and the Saints who were unquestionably brilliant. Both QBs were superb but what the difference for me was that kickoff, genius.

Well done to the Saints, but I got the feeling Manning and the Colts will get a second ring sometime.
