Another one? You got it...Look I'm torn cause both offenses are explosive and both defenses are pretty mediocre. SO I ask myself...why not let the Madden Gods predict for me...

I started up the PS3 and gave it a go. I played as the Colts versus the Saints(CPU). Btw, I'm decent at the game...used to be pretty good...just time is my barrier from getting better but I digress.

The game started off as I would think it would in 'real life.' Both offenses start slow and have a couple 3-and outs a piece. The Saints are piling up the yardage early but can't seem to get into the red zone. The Saints are first to open up with a pass from Drew Brees to Devery Henderson for a 68-yard touchdown pass. 7-0 and shocks the hell out of me!

Peyton Manning responds with his own small drive that ends with a 15-yard strike to Dallas Clark for the touchdown. 7-7

At the end of the 1st quarter, the Saints make it 10-7.

Peyton Manning committs the game's first turnover with an interception to linebacker Jonathan Vilma that starts the Saints off in Colts territory. The Saints capitalize and Pierre Thomas takes it in with a 7-yard rushing touchdown. 17-7.

Peyton has that look in his eyes. A quick 5 play 80-yard drive that ends with a 23-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Wayne makes it 17-14.

On the ensuing kickoff, Reggie Bush returns it 92-yards for a touchdown. Saints increase lead 24-14 at the half.

I'm thinking this is ridiculous...fate in a video game even directs the Saints to win this? Impossible!

Colts get the ball to start off the second half. Peyton takes the Colts right into the red zone and looking to score. Austin Collie's route is disrupted at the line of scrimmage and Manning's throw is off and into the hands of Darren Sharper who takes it to the Saints' 42-yard line.

Drew Brees passing down the middle to his receivers like a beast. I cannot defend against these slants and these dudes are breaking tackles like nobody's business. Marques Colston catches a 14-yard touchdown pass from Brees. 31-14. AHHH!

My running game is anemic at this point. Manning catches Austin Collie on a slant down the middle for 37-yards. This sets up 32-yard reception by Reggie Wayne for the score. 4-plays for 81 yards to make it 31-21 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

The Saints go 3 and out. Manning is now on fire. 3 straight passes to Dallas Clark that takes the Colts to the Saints 27-yard line. Joseph Addai is open in the flats and takes a pass all the way for the 27-yard touchdown reception. Saints lead down to 31-28.

After a couple first downs, the Saints are again forced to punt. Manning already has over 300 yards passing at this point. A few completed passes take the Colts into Saints territory. 0:53 and counting left on the clock. Manning throws to Wayne on a 10-yard fade right pattern and it's picked off by Darren Sharper again! Damn him! He takes it all the way to the house for a 59-yard INT return for a touchdown. Saints up their lead to 38-28 and ends up being the final score.

The experts out there claim Madden has been right 5 out of the last 6 Super Bowls. I don't know how they're doing it and if it's just straight simulation.

I like Peyton Manning, and he'll probably go down as the greatest quarterback ever...statistically anyways. The Saints are the sentimental favorites. My mind picks the Colts to win something like 37-31...my magic Madden says Saints 38-28.

What's your pick???
