XLIV

February 5th, 2010

We’re coming up on the first weekend in February…that glorious celebration when American’s passions for football, junk food and beer come together for a day of gluttonous binging to hold us over until Thanksgiving.
Yes, the Super Bowl is one of our greatest national holidays, and since Skadaddle loves our country, we would be remiss to ignore the festivities that lie ahead.
With that, we bring you Skadaddle’s 2010 Super Bowl picks – odds makers, we hope you’re paying attention:

Jon

Saints baby… But don’t ask me.  Ask the all mighty Madden NFL-

Using a video game simulation of Super Bowl XLIV with their football franchise Madden NFL, EA predicts the New Orleans Saints will upset the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 35-31. The video game has correctly predicted the Super Bowl champ five of the last six years.

Enough said…  Sign me up for the Whodat nation.

Meg

Naturally, I will be rooting for the team that my boyfriend places his bet on so that we are able to pay our bills this month. In this case – Colts minus 4.5 / total score under 57. Personally, I think the Saints are going to take it, but don’t tell him I said that (or post this publicly on the internet)!

Brittany

Colts over the Saints, 31-24. Peyton will have his second Super Bowl victory and that’s all fine. He makes good TV right? But what I really want to see is a Saints victory for their first time appearance at the Super Bowl. And at the end, let’s see Reggie propose to Kim – c’mon!

Brett 

If I had a super bowl filled with Kellogg’s Frosty Covered Colts and General Mill’s Cinnamon Toasted Saints, I think I would eat the Saints first - they tend to get soggy if not consumed fast enough.

Todd

I’m terrible at this crap because I always pick from the heart/emotionally. So, while I’m not sure they’ll win (because Peyton Manning won’t let the Colts lose), I’m going with the Saints. (And not only because of the Katrina story, but mostly because watching Peyton Manning makes me dizzy.)

Lisa

The Saints because I don’t even know who the other team is.

Len

Peyton. Is. Too. Damn. Good. As much as I like Sean Payton, and as fun as it’s been to watch the Saints this year, I don’t think they’ve got the experience to hang. I’m going Colts 31-24, 31-17 if Dwight Freeney shows up.

There you have it, folks. The whole team’s predictions, right up on the internet so we can all be embarrassed by how wrong we were on Monday morning.

Got your own pick? Tell us in the comments, we’d love to hear it!
