Drew Brees Under/Over 300.5 Yards (bodog)
The Colts have allowed only two quarterbacks to pass for over 300 yards this season - Matt Schaub (311 and Ton Brady (375). Brees has not had a passing game over 300 yards since Week 12 versus the Redskins. The Saints finished 6th in rushing yards per game this season and should look to the running game to play keep away from the Colts.
Take the Under 301 yards
Drew Brees Completion Percentage Under/Over 68.5% (bodog)
The Colts allowed opposing QBs to complete 63.8% of their passes against them this season - good for 26th in the NFL. Indianapolis played 10 of their 16 games against teams in the bottom half of the league in pass offense so there is no scheduling excuses. Brees completed 70.6% of his pass attempts this season and exceeded the posted line of 68.5% in 10 of his 15 regular-season games. Three of the five games where Brees failed were against the No.1, No.3 and No.4 teams in this category.
Take the Over 68.5%
Pierre Thomas Under/Over 26.5 Receiving Yards (Sportsbook.com)
The Saints started using Thomas late in the season in swing passes to alleviate pressure on Brees. Thomas flourished in this situation totaling over the prop line of 26.5 yards in 4 of his last 6 games, failing only in Week 16 when he left early with an injury and in his first game back in the Divisional Round.
Take the Over 26.5 Yards.
Joseph Addai Under/Over 65.5 Rushing Yards (Bodog)
Addai had a season-high 80 rushing yards in the conference round and should get quite a few carries against a Saints rush defense that has struggled at times to stop the run this season (finishing 21st in the league against the run). The Colts will try to grind the clock and keep the ball out of Brees' hands.
Take the Over 65.5 Yards
Will Peyton Manning Throw an Interception Yes -140/No +110? (BetUS.com)
Manning had one of his top passing performances last week against the leagues top-ranked passing defenses, throwing three touchdown passes and no interceptions. The zero interceptions in a game hasn't been the norm for Peyton in the second half of the season. Manning has thrown at least one pick in 8 out of his last 11 games and 7 out of last 9 games that he has played all four quarters. New Orleans' ball hawking defense had 26 interceptions in the regular season and added 3 more in two post season games.
Take the Yes
Tons of Super Bowl prop bets out there to add some spice to your NFL betting day. After all, it's the final chance to bet the NFL for real until August, so load up and have some fun.
