Alex Smart's Super Bowl-A-B-C s
Alex Smart Sports
 
A is for Dwight Freeney's ankle... which may not be at 100% for the biggest game of the season.

B is for Brees... who had better not turn the ball over if he hopes to keep up with Peyton and the gang.

C is for Clark... who is the man that Manning will need to connect with to exploit a weak New Orleans linebacker corps.

D is for destiny... which will be the headline in the New Orleans Times-Picayune on Monday if the Saints win the Super Bowl.

E is for experience... something that a lot of the Colts gained in Super Bowl XLI, but that none of the starters for the Saints have any of at this level.

F is for fumbles... wish the Saints forced six of in the NFC Championship Game.

G is for the goat... who will surely be the man who commits the one bonehead turnover or mistake that costs his team the Super Bowl.

H is for Hayden... who effectively ended Super Bowl XLI with a pick-six in the fourth quarter against the Bears.

I is for interception... something that these two quarterbacks have only combined to throw one of in this entire postseason.

J is for Joseph Addai... who is the forgotten man in the Indy offense, but is the guy who put the team on his back in Super Bowl XLI to lead the Colts to victory.

K is for the kicking game... which has been the death of several teams in these playoffs.

L is for laziness... which is what both teams showed in Weeks 16 and 17 of the regular season that helped them reach the Super Bowl.

M is for Manning... whose father has decided to shun the team that he played on for years to instead root for his son in the biggest game of the year.

N is for nuisance... which is exactly what having the Pro Bowl the week before the Super Bowl in Miami amounted to be.

O is for offense... something that the oddsmakers are expecting to see plenty of on Sunday.

P is for Porter... who was responsible for two forced turnovers against Minnesota.

Q is for Manning's quick release... which has kept him out of trouble in the pocket against every other team in the league.

R is for Roby... who is the kick returner that helped get New Orleans to this spot with his 61-yard return in overtime against the Vikes.

S is for seventy-six... which was is the number of points that these teams will have to combine for to make it the highest scoring Super Bowl ever.

T is for tight ends... which have been a nuisance of late to the Colts defense.

U is for Manning's unknown receivers... which caught 18 passes and two TDs combined in the AFC Championship Game.

V is for viciousness... something that DC Gregg Williams says is a prerequisite for New Orleans' defensive line to show against Manning to give the Saints a chance at victory.

W is for Wayne... who has the only touchdown reception in Manning's Super Bowl history.

X is for the infamous "X-Factor"... which will inevitably be the player that you've never heard of that will decide the game.

Y is for youth... which can be served if the youngsters on New Orleans' defense can shun the naysayers and stuff up the Colts' offense.

Z is for the zebras... who need to make sure they keep their whistles to themselves and let the Colts and Saints decide the championship for themselves.
