Colts Vs Saints

Many sport sites seem to be billing this game as a highflying attack show, but watch for the battle to be won or lost on the ground. The key for the saints on offence is too exploit the centre of the colts' defensive line against the run, if not to break a few big ones (which bush and mcallister probably will do), but also to slow down the pass rush of freeney and mathis, allowing brees to spread the field and go deep. On the other side of the ball, if the saints continue to play the gambling style defence they employed last season, look for manning to pick them apart down field. If the saints are smart they will stay at home on defence except for mannings blind side, and test the rookie left tackle. If the saints pass rushers can confuse the rookie with some stunts and single line backer blitzes, they may be able to disrupt mannings rythm, much like the chargers did two seasons ago.
