Gridiron Gals Super Bowl XLIV Picks {video}
The Super Bowl is THEE biggest day in the NFL but its also the saddest. This is the final game of the 09 – ‘10 season!! I’m filled with so many emotions, mainly joy, because witnessing a team achieve their dream is truly an awesome feeling. Without further adieu, my pick.
Super Bowl XLIV – New Orleans Saints & Indianapolis Colts
…and then there were two!
The Colts giveth and the Colts taketh away. The NY Jets put a great fight in the first half but you need more to hang with Peyton Manning and the Colts. I truly believe that he’s a master at making adjustments and the Jets realized that as well. During the first half, the Jets out played the Colts and built up a 17-6 lead but when they lost RB Shonn Greene to a rib injury, they lost the ability to move the ball. The Colts defense locked in on rookie QB Mark Sanchez, and he was shut out over the final two quarters. Manning finished 26 of 39 for 377 yards. The Colts are stocked with plenty of WRs and although Revis held Wayne in check, there was no answer for the rest. Pierre Garcon set career highs with 11 catches for 151 yards. Rookie Austin Collie had a career-best seven catches for 123 yards, his first 100-yard day as a pro. The Saints’ have their hands full.
The Vikings gave this game away and the New Orleans Saints gladly accepted. The Vikings led in first downs, rushing and passing yards but the five turnovers, (four in the second half) sealed the deal. The Saints offense took full advantage by scoring points off of the turnovers. QB Drew Brees passed for 197 yards and 3 TDs and was able to involve every WR, TE and RBs along the way. RB Pierre Thomas stats weren’t the best but it was enough, he scored 2 TDs. Reggie Bush recovered after fumbling, contributing to the team’s win with a TD. Even with the turnovers, the Vikings stayed competitive, driving down the field to with 1:26 remaining, where they could have won the game but Favre threw an INT. That sent the game into OT and the Saints won the toss and K Garrett Hartley kicked the winning FG. The Saints better get ready, because the Colts, better yet, Peyton doesn’t make those types of mistakes.

Pigskinlovinglady’s Observations – NFL Week 16
The 2009 regular season is coming to an end and Week 16 painted a clearer picture of the playoffs, for most, but definitely not all.
If you bad, show ‘em you bad…
And the San Diego Chargers are doing just that. Phillip Rivers hasn’t lost a game in December and the Tennessee Titans weren’t up for the challenge to change that stat. I picked the Chargers to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl and I got the feeling I’m dead on.The Dallas Cowboys have knocked the proverbial monkey of their back and caged his tail! They won two games in December, convincingly. The Redskins were shut out, at home, during a prime time game; good! You don’t disrespect your head coach by interviewing for his job while he’s still there. To quote Ms. Celie, “until you do right by me, everything you touch will crumble.” That’s how I feel about Mr. Synder’s reign over the franchise.
I don’t care about the 4th and 1 call that went awry, or the talk about Randy Moss quitting on certain plays, the New England Patriots are in the playoffs and there’s nothing we can do about it. The Jacksonville Jaguars got a taste of disrespect and deservingly so. You can’t choose which games to show up too.
The Cincinnati Bengals are still playing with heavy hearts and a banged up defense. They won the AFC North division title, but the win over the Chiefs by just 7, was too close for comfort, especially heading into the playoffs.
The Philadelphia Eagles welcomed ex-teammate Brian Dawkins back to Lincoln Field and sent him and the Broncos home with a ‘l.” Philadelphia is looking stronger with each game, exactly what a team needs to face San Diego in the Super Bowl. 
Why am I uber excited about the Green Bay Packers trouncing of the Seattle Seahawks. I detest the NFC West; they bore me to no end. But…the Packers are in with the win and I hope they face the Vikings. Talk about revenge being sweet!!
The Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers kept their respective teams in the hunt for a wild card spot by beating Miami and Baltimore. But will it be enough? Read More…
