Today was the American Football Conference and National Football Conference championship games.
The AFC game was between the upstart New York Jets and veteran and seasoned Indianapolis Colts.
The Colts looked sloppy in the first half, but woke up in the second half and defeated the Jets, 30-17 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
But the real surprise is the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints played the Minnesota Vikings, led by the ageless Brett Favre.
The game was a see-saw battle but in the end, the Saints won the game in overtime, 31-28 on a field goal by placekicker Garrett Hartley.
This is the first time that the Saints, once referred to as the 'Aints due to some lousy seasons, are in the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 44 will be played in two weeks at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Florida.
My take is that the Colts will come out as the favorite. But do not, I mean do not, rule out the Saints.
Prediction:
Saints 31-Colts 24.
