HHG: Super Bowl XLIV prediction

The Head says: Colts win. For the entire season the only team that has looked impenetrable and unbeatable was Indianapolis. In fact they pulled some of their starters even just to give the other teams in the league a fair shot (and a pair of wins). Of course it does show the drop off in quality when the likes of Manning and Freeney don't play.

Peyton Manning... now that guy just pisses me off. Seemingly effortlessly beating every record and stat in the book. Winning with future Hall of Famers and rookies. Winning with nary a running game. It all doesn't matter. It's almost unfair how good this guy can play the game.

The Heart says: Saints win. It's the better story if the New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl. The city needs it, craves it more than Indianapolis does. Of course we will all point to the lows of the disaster that struck New Orleans, and hope that a title win will bring a shine to the city's recovery.

Plus, there's still the chance that we're going to get tabloid heaven when Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian play cat-and-mouse whether or not they will get married after a Saints win.

The Gut says: Indianapolis Colts win. I fully expect that the Colts ride the coat tails of Peyton Manning all the way to their second title in four years. His stats are this good for a reason, and apparently it doesn't matter if he's playing with legends of the game or undergrad college students. I'm hoping for a shoot-out with Drew Brees though, but I think Indy's defense is a little more solid than New Orleans' - even if Dwight Freeney ends up not playing.
